Home/Where to stay/Par/4- and 5-star hotels
4- and 5-star hotels in Par
This shortlist covers 4- and 5-star stays in Par, from ratings-topped inns to self-contained cottages on the edge of the village. It suits couples and families who want space, parking and easy access to the coast and countryside of south Cornwall.
Staying in Par
Par is a small Cornish village in the south of the county, listed on this site as having 8 places to stay. The hotels on this shortlist all sit in or around Par itself, from St Austell Road at Tregrehan and St Blazey Gate to Penpillick, Par Farm and the Eden Project at Bodelva. That spread means most stays are a short drive from the village centre rather than right on top of it.
Couples will find the larger inn and the cottages well suited to quiet breaks, with gardens, terraces and free parking. Families are served by the options with playgrounds, cots, family rooms and pools, while longer stays work well in the cottages and farmhouse with their kitchens, laundries and dishwashers. Business travellers have fewer obvious fits, though the inn and the cottage with conference space cover meetings and solo overnights.
