Celebrating Valentine’s Day in Cornwall

Whether you’re planning a fun day out, a special dinner, or a romantic weekend getaway, celebrating Valentine’s Day in Cornwall has never been easier – or more magical.

After all, with its sweeping coastline, world-renowned restaurants, and array of unique artisan crafters, Cornwall has everything you need to make Valentine’s Day extra special.
To help you get started, here are just three romantic ways to make this year unforgettable, along with some thoughtful gift ideas (all sourced from right here in the Duchy).

1. Sunset strolls on the coast

There’s no doubt that Cornwall boasts some of the best coastline – and sunsets – in the UK. And what’s more romantic than an intimate walk along the beach as the sun drops over the ocean?

With numerous beauty spots to choose from, it’s a masterclass in romance. Why not visit the iconic Bedruthan Steps on the north coast, where you can make the most of the quiet off-season as you enjoy the rugged coastline together, hand-in-hand?

Alternatively, head south and Kynance Cove on the Lizard Peninsula offers an equally romantic spot for a secluded beach walk, complete with picturesque turquoise waters and dramatic rock formations.

Don’t forget to pack a blanket to sit on (plus some extras for warmth), a bottle of bubbles for the sunset show, and something tasty to snack on.

2. Luxury spa days for two

If you’ve got a bigger budget to spend, book a spa experience for the ultimate relaxation together. Cornwall is home to several award-winning spas, with many offering treatments that celebrate the best of local products, as well as winter offers that include dining.

Whether you want to enjoy an outdoor hot tub session with views over the sea, or to melt the stresses of daily life away in a heated pool, there’s something for everyone.

Top spas to consider include The Scarlet in Mawgan Porth, the Headland Hotel in Newquay or St Michael’s Resort in Falmouth. If you’re staying here at Lewinnick Lodge, ask our team for their best recommendations!

3. A romantic dinner with a view

There’s something special about dining together on sumptuous food, and Cornwall’s culinary scene is renowned for its fresh-caught seafood, locally-sourced produce, and stunning coastal settings.

From high-end dining at Michelin-starred restaurant Paul Ainsworth’s No 6 in Padstow, to Mediterranean and Asian-inspired seafood at the more relaxed Porthminster Beach Cafe in St Ives, there’s something for everyone.

Here at Lewinnick Lodge, our floor-to-ceiling windows offer unrestricted views over the ocean from our cliff-side restaurant, from our perch on the edge of Pentire Headland. With our intimate atmosphere and panoramic views of the Atlantic, enjoy the best of Cornish ingredients with a tasty, contemporary twist – just book here to secure your table in time for the big day.

4. Thoughtful gift ideas

If you’re looking for unique gifts that really make an impression, take a look at some of Cornwall’s best artisan makers, including:

  • Handcrafted jewellery: Cornwall’s rich mining history and coastal landscape make it a hotspot for unique jewellery. Whether you’re looking for a piece made in Cornish tin, silver, or sea glass found on our local beaches, there’s plenty to choose from. Makers to check out include Clare Mason, South Jewellery, Emily Nixon, and St Justin.
  • Artisan treats: If you want a taste of home, or to have a wide choice of Cornish treats, check out The Cornish Company. From clotted cream fudge to Healey’s Rattler cider, it’s all about bringing the taste of Cornwall to your door. Elsewhere, check out Kernow Chocolate for luxury, sugary goodness, or buy your loved one’s favourite tipple in the form of Trevethan Cornish Gin.
  • Cornish Experiences: There’s nothing quite like the gift of making memories together, and, here in Cornwall, you’ve got plenty of experiences to choose from. Try booking a surfing lesson, a pottery-making workshop, or a foraging adventure for something different to do together.
