Impressed
We are Cornwall Reviews
Find out what we thought when we reviewed some of the popular products, restaurants, cafe's and other businesses around the county with our new 'We are Impressed' features.
Fowey Valley Cider
Crisp, clear, dry, and refreshing with the delicate flavour of dessert apples - it’s no wonder Fowey Valley Cider’s Sparkling Vintage Cider won the 2015 British Cider Championships.
Lusty Glaze
Drinking in stunning views whilst tucking into fabulous food - and all to the sound of a brilliant local band. An evening at one of Lusty Glaze's weekly Sundowner music sessions is a must.
The St Mawes Hotel
Beautifully furnished, light and contemporary rooms, fantastic food and stunning estuary views – a stay at The St Mawes Hotel will leave you feeling pampered and relaxed.
The Alverton Hotel Restaurant
A place to relax and enjoy fine dining whilst also appreciating the well-designed décor and smiling, attentive staff. A visit to The Alverton Hotel Restaurant is sure to impress.
Lusty Glaze Sundowner Session
Spectacular sunsets, a stunning location and fantastic music make the Sundowner Sessions at Lusty Glaze a truly unique experience that shouldn't be missed.
The Penventon Hotel
Indulge in a sumptuous selection of freshly cut sandwiches, delightful cakes and freshly baked scones at the recently refurbished Penventon Park Hotel.
Penventon Park Hotel Gin Tasting
We visited the Penventon Park Hotel's opulent bar, traditionally decorated with stunning Georgian features and home to an impressive 130 gins, to test a few ourselves.
An afternoon tea at The Idle Rocks
As we were admiring the view and watching the boats in the harbour, two glasses of champagne were placed on our table – this was set to be the most lavish afternoon tea I’d enjoyed.
Dinner and the Hidden Cinema at the St Mawes Hotel
We first heard about the Hidden Cinema during a visit to the hotel a few months ago. When asked to attend a dinner and movie night, we jumped at the chance.
Martha's Orchard
When the opportunity to stay at Martha’s Orchard came up - a boutique site on the outskirts of Constantine Bay, near Padstow - I was excited to investigate a new area.
Crantock Bay
We were invited to sample Crantock Bay Spa's Twilight Relax and Dine package which takes place in the evening and includes a treatment, use of the pool and dinner in C-Bay.
Afternoon tea at The Cornwall
A trip to The Cornwall for afternoon tea this summer is a must. With the option to sit outside on the terrace if the weather’s warm and sunny, it’s the perfect way to enjoy an afternoon.
