Sands Resort says
Ideally located in north Cornwall, we aim to offer the very best of relaxed beach breaks. Renowned for our friendly staff and value for money, parents can enjoy a contemporary hotel experience whilst children are endlessly amused
Overlooking the Atlantic and surrounded by six acres of land, the hotel is a mini-paradise for children, with everything from toddler playgrounds and a maze, through to adventure play areas, a zip wire, climbing wall and skittles alley.
For the more active, there’s free tennis, football and golf, indoor and outdoor pools and complimentary use of boards and wet suits from the Surf Shack if you feel like catching a few waves down on Watergate Bay. Four age-banded children’s clubs will give you the perfect opportunity to grab some ‘me’ time in the hotel’s Ocean Breeze Spa.
Accommodation is in bright and spacious two-bedroom suites, some overlooking the sea, and many with their own DVDs and PlayStations.
As a family-run hotel, we appreciate that costs can add up. Special offers throughout the year include free holidays for up to two children per family and on selected dates, extra free nights. Most facilities are free which means you don’t need to spend money on expensive days out – and we also keep down the cost of our meals, wine and soft drinks.
If you can tear the kids away from the hotel, we’re within easy reach of some of north Cornwall’s most spectacular sweeping beaches, stunning tropical gardens, family-friendly cycle paths, and a range of attractions that include the Newquay Aquarium, Maritime Museum and the Eden Project.
