Dining
Housel Bay Hotel offers two restaurants, including Fallowfields which holds two AA rosettes and a Michelin recommendation for its open kitchen and tasting menus. The Terrace restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with panoramic views over Housel Bay and the Lizard Peninsula. Guests can also enjoy local drinks in Marconi's bar, the Snug, or the garden, and seasonal afternoon tea is served using local produce.
Accommodations
Rooms include panoramic view rooms overlooking the Atlantic, King Ocean View, Country View, and Cozy Country View categories, each with en suite bathrooms and TVs. Some rooms have seating areas, and dog-friendly options are available in select room types. The hotel was built in the early 1890s with the approval of Prime Minister William Gladstone and retains its late Victorian architectural character.

The South West Coast Path runs through the hotel gardens, offering direct access to walking routes east and west along Cornwall's most southerly coastline. A tidal beach is reachable via steps from the property, and the Lizard Lighthouse is visible from the hotel. Nearby attractions include Kennack Sands Beach, Lizard Lighthouse & Heritage Centre, and the scenic coastal path itself.
Wellness & Activities
A dedicated yoga studio is available for all guests to use during their stay. Complimentary trekking poles are provided for guests exploring the coastline, and bicycle rental is offered on site. The hotel gardens include picnic areas, outdoor furniture, and a sun terrace with seating.
Pet-Friendly Amenities
The hotel permits dogs in select rooms and in the bar and Terrace restaurant, and supplies pet bowls and pet baskets in the room. Dogs are not allowed in the main dining rooms or public areas beyond the bar and Terrace. The grounds feature no dedicated dog waste bins, but the rear area of the hotel has a bin available for guest use.
