Menus major on fresh fish and organic local produce, with a dash of Italian, such as Cornish crab with tomato apple and cucumber. Romantics can have a candlelit dinner for two served on the private terrace, with lobster as a main course and a bottle of chilled white wine. A table on one of the outdoor sundecks is de rigueur on warm summer evenings.

Activities

See & Do
Do explore St Mawes – a pretty Cornish village full of whitewashed cottages and little lanes, with a castle, a clutch of small cafes and plenty of yachts. There’s plenty of great walking around the unspoilt Roseland peninsula, and you can take a ferry across the bay to Falmouth.

Splash out with a day aboard Pinuccia, Tresanton’s 48 ft yacht (expensive but a fabulous treat), or ask the skipper to drop you at a quiet beach for the day with a picnic. Trelissick gardens are well worth a visit, as is the cathedral city of Truro and the little church at St Just in Roseland.

Spa
Tresanton has a dedicated massage room where beauty and body treatments can be booked.

Diary Dates
