All you need is love
At The Esplanade Hotel in Newquay, February is a season for windswept adventures, cosy connections, and unforgettable fun. It's the perfect time to rediscover the magic of the coast before spring arrives. Whether you're planning a romantic retreat or a family getaway, we believe all you need is love and a little time away together, with the wild beauty of the north Cornish coast as your backdrop.
Family half term memories in the making
The February half term is a perfect little window to escape the everyday and reconnect as a family. Wander along Fistral Beach, searching for treasures washed ashore, and discover Newquay attractions for all the family. Back at the hotel, warm up with a well-earned hot chocolate in our lounge, watching the surfers brave the winter waves.
We know that family fun shouldn’t depend on the weather. That’s why we’ve created a haven of indoor entertainment. Our indoor play areas are perfect for letting off steam, while our heated indoor swimming pool promises hours of splash-filled fun. For some quieter moments, check out the book nook and sit down for story time, or start a friendly board game battle. Throughout the school holidays, we’ll be running a full schedule of FREE activities, from creative craft sessions to movie showings in our cinema.
Just the two of you: a coastal connection
For couples, February offers a unique kind of romance. The summer crowds are gone, leaving a sense of peaceful seclusion. It’s the perfect time to slow down and simply be together. Wake up to the soothing sound of the waves and enjoy breakfast in Cove with an ocean view. Spend your days exploring the dramatic coastal paths and head back to the hotel to unwind in our indoor jacuzzi. As dusk settles, make your way back to Cove for an intimate dinner, where the menu is as spectacular as the sunset. Afterwards, why not find a cosy corner in our Elements Cocktail Bar for a nightcap? This is your chance to press pause on the demands of daily life and rediscover your connection.
Paws and all: adventures with your four-legged friend
A family holiday isn’t complete without every member of the family, and that includes the four-legged ones. We wholeheartedly welcome dogs at The Esplanade, because we know that the best coastal walks are the ones shared with a happy pup. Our dog-friendly rooms are equipped with everything needed to make your companion feel right at home, so you don't have to worry about a thing. From windswept beach walks to relaxing together in your room, your February escape can be a special getaway for your pet too.
