There is simply nowhere like the south Cornish coast. Breathe in the fresh sea air, soak in the awe-inspiring scenery and let your day go in whichever direction you wish. Savour the simple things and let golden sands and winding pathways be your playground, or enjoy the relaxed sophistication of cocktails and tapas, taking in all the drama of the Lizard Peninsula from the scenic comfort of the Terrace or Vista Lounge.
VINTAGE GLAMOUR
Originally built in 1890, the Polurrian was a fashionable railway hotel appealing to distinguished guests. In 1901, Guglielmo Marconi stayed here while sending the first ever transatlantic radio messages from nearby Poldhu Cove.
In 1909, a fire devastated the original hotel, destroying everything but the terraces and steps near the tennis courts (which you can still see today). Soon after, a new hotel was built and Polurrian became a hive of activity once again. During the Second World War, the hotel was an officers’ mess for nearby RAF Predannack, and in 1953, Hollywood stars Clark Gable and Gene Tierney stayed while filming the romance adventure Never Let Me Go.
