Weather-proof luxury: embracing Cornwall in every season

When the rain taps at the windows and the wind howls beyond the cliffs, there’s something irresistibly cocooning about retreating into a private cinema room. Within some of our Cornish Gems, plush seating, surround sound and cinematic screens transform stormy afternoons into unforgettable movie nights. Whether it’s a family film marathon, a late‑night classic or a quiet afternoon escape, these spaces invite you to slow down and savour the simple pleasure of being together, wrapped in warmth while Cornwall puts on a show outside.

Wellbeing doesn’t take a holiday. Dedicated gyms and yoga rooms within selected stays allow you to move, stretch and breathe deeply, no matter what the skies are doing. Floor‑to‑ceiling windows frame moody seascapes or rolling countryside, turning a morning workout or gentle yoga flow into a moment of connection with the landscape. Rain becomes rhythmic, wind energising – proof that wellness can be both grounding and uplifting, even on the wildest of days.

There’s a certain magic to laughter echoing through a games room while the weather rages outside. Pool tables, table football, board games and cosy corners for friendly competition make these spaces a hub of joy and togetherness. In some of our Gems, games rooms turn grey days into golden memories, where generations gather, rivalries spark and time slips by unnoticed.

Few experiences feel as indulgent as stepping into a warm sauna after a blustery coastal walk. In select properties, saunas offer a sanctuary of heat and calm, easing tired muscles and quieting busy minds. As steam rises and the outside air cools, the contrast heightens every sensation. It’s a deeply restorative ritual – one that turns Cornwall’s cooler days into an excuse for slow, intentional self‑care and a deeper appreciation of comfort.

When the weather calls for staying in, private chefs bring the finest Cornish flavours straight to your table. Imagine the aroma of locally sourced ingredients filling your Gem while the rain falls softly outside. No reservations, no rushing. Just beautifully prepared food enjoyed at your own pace. This is weather‑proof luxury at its most delicious: dining that feels intimate, effortless and deeply connected to Cornwall’s rich culinary landscape.
