Devon’s coolest coastal hotel, set on the bluff of a cliff near Salcombe, South Devon, has rustic-chic interiors, heated indoor and outdoor pools, a cinema, restaurant, sun terrace, cosy bedrooms and stylish self-catering apartments, all cleverly positioned to make the most of spectacular sea views. The small Elemis spa contains a blue mosaic pool, sauna and steam room, and offers massages, manicures and facials. There are sunrise clifftop yoga sessions in summer followed by brunch. Rooms share a cosy, rustic, industrial feel, with velvet cushions, pom-pom-fringed throws, rough timber feature walls, vintage dial phones and geometric-tiled bathrooms.
