Why You Must Visit Cornwall in September
September brings a uniquely magical atmosphere to the Lizard Peninsula, and there’s no better place to experience it than at Housel Bay Hotel. Perched on the edge of dramatic cliffs with sweeping sea views, our hotel becomes a peaceful coastal retreat just as the summer rush begins to fade.
Why You Must Visit Cornwall in September;
1. Late Summer Weather
September often delivers some of the finest weather of the year in Cornwall. Expect bright, sunny days with soft breezes and fewer grey skies. The sea is actually warmer than it was at the peak of summer, after a summer of sunshine, making it the perfect time for a refreshing swim or paddle along our secluded bay.
2. Peaceful Beaches and Coastal Paths
While July and August bustle with visitors, September offers a more relaxed pace. You’ll find more space on the beach, quieter coves, and peaceful walking paths that wind along the rugged coastline. It's ideal for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in nature, whether you’re exploring the South West Coast Path or simply enjoying a quiet book on the sand.
3. A Food Lover’s Favourite Month
September marks the beginning of the harvest season, making it a great time to enjoy a variety of both summer and autumn flavours. Think sweet tomatoes, wild mushrooms, fresh seafood, and locally foraged herbs. Whether you’re dining alfresco on The Terrace or enjoying a tasting menu experience in Fallowfields, our menus are inspired by the best of the season and the Cornish coast.
4. A Time to Truly Unwind
September brings with it a sense of calm. With fewer crowds, more space, and a slower rhythm, this is the month for unwinding before the shift of seasons, whether you’re here to write, walk, relax, or reconnect with nature.
