The smell of sunscreen. Smoothing a pebble between your hands. Jelly
shoes. The sound of seagulls. Or feeling that salty sting on your cheeks
from plunging in the sea with reckless abandon.
Maybe these are some of the things you feel nostalgic for if you spent
your childhood summers on the British coastline. Maybe that's why we keep
going back every year as adults again, despite the famously fickle
weather.
Here are a few British beach hotels, both old and new, we're booking
this summer.
Enjoy,
|
|
|
|
The
Best of the British Beach Hotels
Brighton
Beach House, Soho House
The newly opened Brighton Beach House is all shiny and new for its guests
this summer. Expect a flurry of artworks and a banana shaped pool, peppered
with enviable parasols aplenty. sohohouse.com
|
|
|
|
The
Scarlet Hotel, Cornwall
Poised on a rugged Cornish coastline, The Scarlet Hotel is for the burnt
out, earthy types who are in need of a bit of sun, sand, and a few spa
treatments scattered into the mix. scarlethotel.co.uk
|
|
|
|
The
Gallivant, Rye
If you're into mindfulness, breathwork, and yoga (all the good stuff),
you'll need to book a stay at The Gallivant. Blow away the corporate
cobwebs with a blustery walk on the beaches of Rye, and finish the day with
a guzzle or two of red from their exceptional wine list (the largest in the
UK). It's all about balance. thegallivant.co.uk
|
|
|
|
Artist
Residence, Penzance
This one's for the aesthetes among you. Just a short walk from the iconic
Jubilee pool, the Artist Residence is adorned with art elegantly strewn
along the walls, plus an oh so comfortable bedroom with head turning
headboards. artistresidence.co.uk
|
|
|
|
The Pig,
Harlyn Bay
Of all the litter of Pig Hotels, we have a particular penchant for Harlyn
Bay. The 15th Century historic house is only a mere stroll away Constantine
Bay and Padstow a quick dash of a drive. A no brainer choice in our eyes. thepighotel.com
|
|
|
|
The Blonde
Hedgehog, Alderney
A quaint small hotel on a cobbled street on Alderney Island, does it get
any better as a quintessential British coastal holiday? But don't think
it's all bucket and spades: you'll be suitably spoilt in its luxurious
interiors. theblondehedgehog.com
|
|
|
|
The Rose,
Deal
One for the Londoners needing a getaway. The Rose is a perfectly
idiosyncratic seaside stay where it's artistic furnishings and beach walks
will dissolve your worries away. therosedeal.com
|
|
|
|
The
Reading Rooms, Margate
Picture it: you're crunching into a dusted almond croissant with high
ceilings, sash windows, and beautifully rustic walls as your backdrop to
your slow morning breakfast. Margate's beautiful boutique bed &
breakfast also just happens to be by the sea. thereadingroomsmargate.co.uk

Our new exhibition, Anatomy: A Matter of Death and Life,
opens this Saturday 2 July at the National Museum of Scotland.
Charting 500 years of medical exploration, this is your chance to
discover the history of anatomical study, from artistic explorations by
Leonardo da Vinci to the Burke and Hare murders. Consider the social and
medical history surrounding the practice of dissection, Edinburgh’s role
as an international centre for medical study, and the links between
science and crime in the early 19th century.
Then delve deeper with our exhibition events programme. Join us for
Spotlight On: Anatomy (13 July), Death and the City (30 August),
plus more to be announced.
