Cornwall's Watergate Bay Hotel given green light for redevelopment

A Cornwall hotel is set to undergo major redevelopment after plans received the green light from the local authority.

Proposals for Watergate Bay Hotel, centring on the overhaul of the former Tregurrian Hotel site, were shaped through consultations with local residents, communities and statutory bodies, and will be delivered in up to three phases over several years. The intention is to enhance accessibility and enjoyment of the beach area for both visitors and locals.

Once complete, the site of the former Tregurrian Hotel will see the emergence of the new Watergate Bay Beach Club, expanding the existing hotel's wellbeing offerings. Facilities will include a swimming pool, gym, studios, treatment rooms, and a wellness zone dedicated to the hotel staff’s welfare. The development will also have multi-room apartments.
