Discover Places to Eat and Sleep in Cornwall

SHORECREST SEA SIDE CAFÉ & BAR
St Moritz Hotel, Polzeath

This swanky coastal hotel has a seaside café by an outdoor pool and leisure lawn. Not only is it open every day, the impressive view takes in the Camel Estuary and Stepper Point… Food is hearty – think stonebaked pizza, Kernow prime hotdog and smoked haddock chowder  (stmoritzhotel.co.uk/dine/).

THE ALVERTON HOTEL
Truro

The Alverton completed the restoration of its new courtyard complex in June 2016, adding additional accommodation via 15 beautiful bedrooms and suites and combining original features – such as arched doorways and windows – with luxurious touches such as DAB radios and movement-sensor lighting. This grand hotel is within walking distance of both Truro city centre and the head of the river, from where the Fal River ferries travel to Falmouth,  via the National Trust’s exotic Trelissick Gardens (thealverton.co.uk).

THE CORNWALL HOTEL RESTAURANT, TEA ROOM AND BAR
Mevagissey

Opened in July 2016, The Cornwall’s restaurant combines seasonal produce with fine dining, as well as serving afternoon tea. Leave space for the ‘It’s not  quite jelly and ice-cream’ dessert –  a blueberry and port jelly with berry macaroon, clotted cream, berry and pistachio marshmallow and strawberry sorbet (thecornwall.com/dining).

THE CAREW ARMS
Antony, near Torpoint

The Carew Arms is a pub, farm shop and café all rolled into one. Consultant chef Emily Watkins was South West winner of The Great British Menu, while head chef Jack Clayton was formerly at the award-winning Gurnard’s Head in Zennor. The pub has a mouthwatering menu (including a handmade beef burger with Cornish Yarg), while the small café claims to serve the best coffee on the Rame peninsula (carewarms.com).
