So I know I've been MIA from the blog for a while now. March, April and May have been busy with a combination of things namely trying to get set up in my new place (I promise some design details as soon as possible), work and adjusting to living on my own again! Not to mention keeping up with a royal wedding. But I haven't forgotten about my 2 followers on this side of the pond! Without further ado, is June's hotel of the month --
The Old Quay House in Cornwall.
This quaint boutique hotel epitomizes British seaside style. I particularly love the simplicity - almost sparseness - of the rooms. This seems to be an ideal seaside getaway, a place to leave behind everything and really relax. The location is somewhere I've always wanted to go - Cornwall.

At the southernmost tip of Great Britain, and jutting into the English Channel, Cornwall has a rugged and rocky coastline that to me embodies the British seaside. It also seems that as a typical British holiday destination, Cornwall keeps it's sense of history and remains (mostly) un-touristy.

Located in the town of Fowey (pronounced to rhyme with joy), Old Quay House is in a historic commercial seaport and estuary. The rooms take advantage of the water views and incorporate nautical style. I especially love the "shabby chic" aesthetic.
