Restaurant, Brittany Ferries

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

An unexpectedly fabulous dinner was to be had in the restaurant on the Brittany Ferries Plymouth-Santander crossing… Veuve Clicquot, a tasty flaky crab salad starter followed by a surprisingly good fruits de mer and eye-popping icecream profiteroles with a chocolate sauce to finish… By boat is definitely the only way to fly!

The Pier Cafe, Prince of Wales Pier, Falmouth

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Not much to look at from the outside but a really lovely clean, fresh cafe offering a really varied menu. The staff are really helpful and lots of locally sourced food and drinks. I had jacket potato with coronation chicken which was tasty, had a nice salad and coleslaw on the side – not the usual droopy lettuce. My mum had toasted sandwich which was again really tasy and the bread very fresh.

Great coffee stop and lunch venue with outdoor seating for when the weather is good which overlooks the harbour and sea.

The Beach Hut, Watergate Bay, Cornwall

Friday, April 9th, 2010

When my nephew was asked what he wanted to do during his annual Easter visit to Cornwall to see me, he replied ‘well we’ll have to go to the Beach Hut of course’, which is quite a compliment coming from the boy who once said he could eat for England!!!  He ordered his favourite dish of mussels and after using the lovely Baker Tom bread to soak up all the juices his plate didn’t have a morsal of food left on it. Fabulous food & views of the beach as usual.

The Falmouth Townhouse, Falmouth, Cornwall

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Finding somewhere which serves a ‘late’ (after 3pm) Sunday Roast can prove tricky, luckily we spotted The Townhouse, which served us one of the tastiest Sunday roasts we’ve eaten and at a fair price of £7.95

Driftwood Hotel in Cornwall

Monday, March 15th, 2010

We’ve just returned from a very relaxing birthday weekend at Driftwood, or Driftw o o d as it’s spelled on the hotel literature. It’s been on our list of places to do for a while now and I have to say it didn’t disappoint. Top marks for this South Cornwall retreat.

Porthminster Cafe, St Ives

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Amazing white-sand location and classy but laid back ambience? Check. Mouth-watering menu? Check. Interesting wine list? Check. Friendly, unobtrusive service? Check. This is our favourite restaurant – and it’s not short of competition locally. The fish is amazing, but that’s not all they do. Everything we’ve tried there has delivered and we’ve always left with smiles on our faces. We even took our (then) 1 year old with us for lunch, and they made a great fuss of him which was refreshing. Heartily recommend.

Rick Steins Seafood Restaurant, Padstow

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

We stayed at the Seafood Restaurant on a jolly to Devon & Cornwall and the accommodation at least was definitely one of the highlights of the trip, the bathroom was all that it should be, tastefully appointed bedroom, big comfy bed, huge deck overlooking the harbor and sea. Perfect for sipping champagne on. Crucially there was a minibar/wine chiller in the room – soooo important, yet missing from so many of the rooms we’ve stayed in.

Seaforth B&B, St Ives

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Billed as a Boutique B&B I had high expectations for the Seaforth. Alarm bells started ringing when the overly friendly very tanned man greeted us and pointed out where to park our car in the local council car park down the road, but to be fair he did give us a permit to make up for the hike back up to the house.

Marina Villa Hotel, Fowey

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

I had high hopes for the Marina Villa Hotel, having read reviews and looked at their nice website. I had put it on my list of must go places. On arrival we we’re handed map with directions of how to find the remote parking facility quite some distance away…
