• Sams On The Beach

     Sams On The Beach Artisan pizza with a pub next door… We love it here… wide sea views, artisan pizza and fresh local fish — all served with a smile. Of course no eatery is perfect, but when you realise there’s a pub right next door — the combo Sams On The Beach and The Rashleigh…

  • Bodinnick Near Fowey

    Bodinnick near Fowey An excursion via ferry to a cosy pub… Take the cute little ferry from Fowey — it’s best to park on the Fowey side at Caffa Mill where the ferry goes from, and go across as foot passengers. On the right is Ferryside, past home of Daphne Du Maurier https://www.visitcornwall.com/about-cornwall/blogging-cornwall/daphne-du-mauriers-cornwall. A little…

  • Golitha Falls

    Just a short drive from Frieda And The Moon — the ancient falls at Golitha make for a top day out — an ozone enriched stroll along the river, with a big treat in store back at the car park.   Nothing like a stroll by waterfalls to sharpen the appetite. So how delighted are…

  • Fowey.

    Fowey. Keep schtum. Don’t tell. A corner of Cornwall that hasn’t been tarnished by the forces of naff and tawdry; the devil’s evil of cheap and nasty. Fowey has retained the vibe of a real working place with the river commerce, the valiant independent shops and galleries, the characterful restaurants. There’s the wacky aquarium, The…

  • Island View Cafe; Hannafore.

    Island View Café, Hannafore. A fine old-fashioned seaside experience: a range of gentle delights along the promenade of Hannafore beach, with the glorious Looe island always in view. Very close to Looe but so different, reassuringly staid seaside houses with palms and pine trees in the front gardens gaze contentedly at the bay. The Café…

  • The Hidden Hut

    The Hidden Hut A glorious food shack… This must be one of the top holiday lunch destinations in the known universe, and one of our favourite small adventures. Down by Portscatho on the remote Roseland Peninsula, a short walk along a sandy coast path brings you to this food shack overlooking the beach. Gorgeous home-cooked…

  • The Blue Peter Inn, Polperro

    The Blue Peter Inn, Polperro A favourite with the locals… We often recommend “The Blue”, as it is known locally, to our guests, and those that go are always delighted. It’s just what you imagine when you daydream that perfect little cornish harbour-side pub. Tucked away right on the far end of the fish quay,…

  • Afternoon Tea at Fowey Hall

    Afternoon Tea at Fowey Hall The inspiration for Toad Hall — Parp Parp… This is where Kenneth Graham wrote the Wind in the Willows, and is reputed to be the inspiration for Toad Hall. That tells you a lot about this rather lovely old pile perched above Fowey with fabulous views of the estuary: A…

  • Renewal Of Vows Ceremonies

    Renewal Of Vows Ceremonies Magical moments… The combination of a romantic getaway and a renewal of vows ceremony with our magical wedding venue as the centerpiece, is a meaningful and life affirming experience. Usually, but by no means always, the renewal of vows ceremony is associated with an anniversary – 10 years, 20 years… but…
