Poldark bringing couples to Cornwall for romantic breaks

Tourism bosses have said couples who want a romantic break are heading to Cornwall, to recreate love scenes for the hit period drama Poldark. One perfect place for an idyllic romantic break is at our boutique hotel in Golant.



Both South West counties Devon and Cornwall have seen a rise in people inspired by the romantic tryst between the shows sweethearts Ross and Demelza, played by Aidan Turner and Eleanor Thomlinson.

Travel sites stayindevon.co.uk and stayincornwall.co.uk say searches for romantic breaks has increased considerably, rising 155% in Cornwall and 129% in Devon over the last year.

Spokesman Matt Fletcher said: “We believe that the increase in searches for romantic breaks is driven by the ‘Poldark Factor'. Devon and Cornwall are well known to be stunningly romantic.

“However, the beautifully shot Poldark series has put it firmly on the map as the hottest place if you're looking for a holiday with romance this year.�

We definitely agree that Cornwall is a beautiful place and a perfect place for a romantic break. Stay at our boutique hotel in Golant, close to the harbour town of Fowey and see the best Cornwall has to offer in romantic escapes. For the Poldark fans, you can visit all the film locations close to the hotel.
