Stories from the Bay and beyond

They say good magicians should never reveal the secret. Fortunately for you, there’s no trick to the interior design in our rooms. It’s real magic.

Designed in collaboration with Roo’s Beach, the Ebb & Flow fringed towel has landed just in time for summer – now available from the Watergate Bay shop opposite reception.

Extreme Academy manager Carl jumped at the chance to test Gul's new hybrid wet/dry suit. He puts it through its paces while kitesurfing at Watergate Bay.

Wetsuits are an essential piece of kit for getting in the sea, making being cold in the water a thing of the past. Here's Watergate Bay team's top tips.

You might not know it, but we have a strong railway heritage at Watergate Bay. That's why Becky's vintage-railway style Watergate Bay poster got us excited.

In a world of globally out-sourced, production-line manufacture, Henry Swanzy’s handcrafted furniture (seen in the hotel's lobby) does something different.

Shop on the Beach – on the slipway down to Watergate Bay – has got the warmer months all covered. Here's our top picks from the new summer range.

At Watergate Bay, we understand how important the interior design of a room can be to make our guests feel welcomed, at home and at ease. We had so many questions on our last interior design post that we thought we would make another for you, this time the focus is on our family suites.

Winter is one of the best times to visit Watergate Bay - just make sure you wrap up warm. The Shop on the Beach's new winter range is a must.

It’s tempting to fill Watergate Bay with pebbles and driftwood frames. With much of the hotel sea-facing, it draws naturally on its coastal location. So rather than rely on the clichés of contemporary British beach chic, our design seeks to create a more meaningful experience for guests.
