“Effortlessly elegant and understated, it has no obvious entrance and no swimming pool, but offers instead a wide terrace, stunning views, inviting bar, coolly sophisticated bedrooms, a screening room, a private yacht and motorboats for beach picnics. The seafood-oriented cooking fits the setting perfectly. Still Britain's sexiest seaside hotel.”

Tresanton
“The trendy and the tweedy join together for a spot of Brahms at Cornwall's effortlessly chic Hotel Tresanton.”
They say
“Tresanton is one of the West Country's most famous hotels, situated at the edge of the unspoiled village of St. Mawes. All rooms have stunning views across the sea and look towards St. Anthony's lighthouse.
Originally created in the 1940s as a yachtsmen's club, Tresanton is a cluster of old houses on different levels; in the 1950s and 60s it became one of the best-known and best-loved hotels in Cornwall.
In 1997 Olga Polizzi bought Tresanton and spent two years completely redesigning and restoring it. It has a casual and elegant atmosphere very much in keeping with its seaside location. The hotel is perfect as a romantic wedding venue, relaxing holiday location or luxury business and conference centre.”
