PROUD TO BE PART OF

Welcome

From the Editor to the London edition of Cornwall Living!

Member of:

Cornwall has an acclaimed history of art and artists with the Newlyn School and the St Ives School revered as highly influential within the art scene. In more modern times, Tate St Ives, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden as well as a plethora of highly respected galleries draw art enthusiasts from far and wide. Cornwall is also a world leader in the visual arts which have been taught in the Duchy for over a century at Falmouth School of Art. Now under the umbrella of Falmouth University, this remains a centre for creative excellence. In celebration of Cornwall's creativity, from page 10, we hear from Jilly Easterby about this year's Open Studios, where artists across Cornwall open their doors for a first-hand look.

If you're visiting from across the Tamar, then our collection of places to stay (from page 18) has a holiday retreat for every taste and group size. From selfcatering coastal delights, where world-class beaches are just footsteps from your door, to luxury country hotels from which you can revel in some boutique retail therapy, you'll be spoiled for choice. Don't forget that Cornwall is also an incredible foodie destination. Tuck into some delicious local seafood (page 4) and enjoy culinary delights made using outstanding local ingredients while washing it all down with the finest of tipples (page 39).

Once again, we are joined by award-winning estate agents, Rohrs and Rowe (from page 46). Their collection of luxury homes on the market is enviable. From contemporary coastal homes to traditional properties steeped in Cornish history, each has a breathtaking setting that will take your breath away. If you're looking for a home of distinction, Cornwall is your oyster!

...happy reading!

Experience Got to

FRESH SEAFOOD, SHELLFISH AND AN INCREDIBLE ATMOSPHERE AT HOOKED ON THE ROCKS

Perched on the rugged Cornish coastline overlooking the crystalline waters of Swanpool beach, Falmouth, at Hooked On The Rocks you couldn't be closer to the sea! The venue is predominantly a seafood bar and restaurant specialising in the freshest, locally sourced produce that Cornwall has to offer, from land and sea. The bar is also stocked to bursting with local beers, cocktails and specialist wines. Unsurprisingly, it gets incredibly busy, so booking is essential.

For those who don’t want the whole experience, or just want to enjoy some drinks, be sure to head to Hooked On The Rocks’ sister venue located just next door, Seahorse Bar & Bubbles. Open from 9am, it serves the freshest pastries and artisan coffee, and a stripped back menu is available throughout the day. Simply turn up, order drinks from the bar and take a seat as you enjoy the sea views. With a DJ playing on selected dates, there’s a great atmosphere for simply kicking back and enjoying summer holiday vibes.

Afterwards, enjoy a wonderful night’s sleep in one of the recently refurbished hotel rooms, followed by breakfast cooked to order the following morning.

The award-winning golf course has been quoted as having “the most spectacular golf course scenery in Great Britain” by Marcus Weatherburn of PlayMoreGolf. Each of the 18 holes offers incredible views and it is easy to see why this is also designated as

The Museum of Cornish Life, based in Helston, has unearthed and researched an array of new treasures thanks to the rediscovery of antiquities and objects from the now closed Camborne Museum, which have been largely untouched for 17 years. Stored in the eaves of the museum’s roof, the work was originally started by museum volunteer Julia Webb-Harvey. Thanks to a grant of £28,000 from Art Fund, Dr Tehmina Goskar has worked her way through the collections from Camborne Museum which was open from 1913 to 2005.

Visitors to the museum can see some of the Camborne collection, including ancient Egyptian artefacts in the Victorian classroom and the alleged walking stick of famed Cornish engineer Richard Trevithick – research showed that it isn’t a walking stick but a horse-measuring yardstick.

Elemental EXPRESSI N

Catching waves to capture the light.

Words by Jilly Easterby and Dan Warden

Ian Kingsnorth Photography

For those who love Cornwall, it will come as little surprise that it provides endless inspiration for creatives across the entire spectrum of disciplines.

Artists are drawn here not only for its muchcelebrated light, but also its ability to instil that calm feeling of reflection that enables those with creative proclivities to find their state of flow.

At Cornwall Living we are fortunate enough to see, learn and write about Cornish art in all its diversity, and it never ceases to amaze us just how fertile the ground is here for creative innovation. Cornwall based artists continue to push the envelope, instilling the pressing themes of the world into their work and showing us that art is not only an identifier of time and of the world’s most troubling issues, but also provocative of its audience. It sparks conversation, it inspires thought, and in doing so it plays no small part in enacting change.

Of course, there is also the element of beauty to be found in Cornish art, and sometimes it is enough to find resonance with a piece of work simply because it catches your eye. They do say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it is our hope in this issue that we have showcased a fair representation of Cornish art so that you, our reader, might behold something you love.

In fact, if you have been staring at a blank piece of wall for some time and wondering what to do with it, it’s fair to say that this issue is a great place to begin your search for its occupant. Not only do we have our dedicated On Display pages from page 40, we are also celebrating another year of Open Studios Cornwall, a highly anticipated event that sees Cornish creatives throw open their doors and welcome lovers of art to come in and gain an insight into their world. Written by Jilly Easterby, the following pages provide an inside-the-studio view of the life and work of Sue Read, as well as a select preview of other artists who will be participating in this year’s event. So, without further ado, let’s hand over to Jilly!

Drawing inspiration from Cornwall's land and sea

backdrop Sunday

As the seasons turn and the days lengthen, hundreds of artists, designers and makers from across the Duchy are preparing to throw open the doors of studios and workshops to share their artistic practice against a uniquely Cornish backdrop of creek, countryside and coast. From Saturday 27th May to Sunday 4th June, Open Studios Cornwall will take us on an exploration of multiple art forms –from paintings to pottery, furniture to felt making, weaving to woodturning and a whole lot more besides – as we follow distinctive orange ‘O’s across villages and towns to curate our own art trails. But the event is as much about people as it is about place. It provides us with the chance to dive into a wave of creative possibility and plunge into the depths of emotion that lie beneath. The power of nature to heal the body and soothe the mind is a recurring theme that binds this year’s participants – whether it be the haunting cry of the curlew, the glimmer of golden gorse on a grey day, the wildness of wintry skies, the relentless pounding of surf on rocky outcrops or the searing hues of a summer sunset.

Artist, Sue Read, takes her inspiration from north Cornwall’s dramatic coastline and the elemental power of the ocean. She immerses herself within it to read the waves before committing them to canvas in their everchanging shapes, tints and moods. “I am at my happiest when I am in the water and swim in the sea all year round,” explains Sue. “It is a place to imagine new artworks and to really connect with the natural world, to be conscious of how the water moves, how it feels and how it catches the light.”

Many of Sue’s paintings begin on the beach – en plein air – because it is important for her to absorb the sounds and saltiness of her surroundings. In a recent interview for the BBC TV series, Rick Stein’s Cornwall, Sue spoke of ‘mordros’ – the Cornish word for ‘sound of the sea’, which speaks as much of her passion for her birthplace as it does of its cathartic influence on her creative approach. “There is a lot of weather in my paintings, from brooding skies to crashing waves. The waves I paint come very instinctively from the feeling of being in the water, submerged by their intensity, and the timelessness of the tide.

 ABOVE 'September Sun' and 'Summer Vibes'

from paintings to pottery, furniture to more

“Being out in nature stimulates all the senses and I gather in the sights, sounds and smells of my environment, the feel of the air and the light on the water, and record them in my memory to inform my future work,” Sue adds.

“Many of the larger wave paintings that I create emerge from my being so close to them in the ocean. I am not trying to capture them exactly. My intention is to encapsulate the movement within them. I aim to imbue them with the rush of adrenaline I feel when I first run in, confronted by their sheer power; when I dive beneath them, spin around in them and feel their full force, or simply enjoy the pure exhilaration of catching a wave and riding it in. I want the viewer to understand and feel what I felt when I was in that moment. That moment is incredibly healing and I really want them to feel that too.”

This overriding sense of wellbeing that seaswimming and being present in the natural world provides is not her only creative catalyst. For Sue, it is about ‘finding the quiet': “Being outside at the beginning and end of the day, when you are closest to the sounds and feel of nature, can be meditative and freeing but it can also evoke feelings of vulnerability, fragility, excitement and empowerment, especially on those stormy days when the light is fading and the contrast between sky and sea is so stark.” The result of this perspective is a body of work that is suffused with atmosphere and layers of extraordinary Cornish light as well as personal experience. “Because I was born here, I think I am responding to a deeprooted connection to North Cornwall, an area that is often neglected and forgotten,” Sue continues.

here, I think I am responding to a deepcompletes her coastal compositions

Located just beyond Bude, Sue completes her coastal compositions in a beautiful barn studio on a farm that has belonged to her family since the early 1900s. “Back in the studio, the ideas that came to mind whilst in the water become part of the conversation I have with paint. After applying watery layers of colour to my canvas, the shape of a wave or a familiar fragment of coastline will emerge from my filing cabinet of memories.

“In fact, my life is a constant process of seeing and recording ideas and thoughts to be painted, to inform new pieces of artwork, or depict the narrative of this precious part of Cornwall, which is integral to my own story. My paintings do not contain any figurative elements but by making work that is borne of my own experience, I hope my paintings touch, connect and resonate with those who view them.”

Citing influences as diverse as Pierre Bonnard (1867 to 1947), Joan Eardley (1921 to 1963) and Rose Hilton (1931 to 2019) – an amalgam of French Impressionism, Scottish landscape painting and the St Ives School –the allure of her homeland and Sue’s sense of connection to it infuses her artistic output with an authentic voice.

Whether she is memorising the fluid colour palette of the sea – with its whirlpool of greens, blues, turquoises and greys – or observing the ocean through the tangle of a Cornish hedge, Sue is wholly at one with nature when capturing the essence of her beloved Cornwall.

'Enlightenment'

Atlantic storms have shaped this stretch of coastline over centuries and Sue reflects this sense of erosion and metamorphosis by using similar techniques in the studio. “My process is one of sanding, wiping off, glazing further layers of light and adding impasto brush marks, where paint is applied thickly to provide texture,” Sue explains.

THE COUNTRY Escape to

Retallack Resort & Spa is a five-star, Visit England credited self-catering holiday village, with Swiss style lodges and unique boutique-barn accommodation. Offering everything from one-bedroom, self-catering lakeside apartments to six-bedroom barns, and sleeping up to 12 guests, there truly is room for the whole family. Set within 150 acres of countryside, incorporating three lakes, this multi-generational, action-packed nature and wellness retreat offers the ultimate enjoyment for young couples, families, or celebratory groups of all shapes and sizes.

It’s a site that more and more prospective holiday home owners are falling in love with, especially those who visit regularly and are seeking something a little more permanent.

Effortlessly stylish and surrounded by countryside, with some perched on the banks of the lakes, each barn provides a space that’s designed for time spent together. Picture living spaces with sink-into sofas, cosy bedrooms for snuggling down in, deckings perfect for gazing up at the starry night sky.

Water sports are on offer all year round with children booked on to the FlowRider or Aqua Park after school, or surfers wanting to practice their skills on the guaranteed wave. Plus, the water sports team is also known for their Flow Shows at peak times, demonstrating their daredevil skills and stunts to spectators who will

kick back with a drink or a meal – it’s great family entertainment.

There’s also a beach café down at the lake for those that would rather spectate than get wet, and the indoor pool with sauna and steam room is perfect for those looking for something a little less action packed. For couples and groups of friends looking for relaxation, a trip to the spa for a massage or treatment is just the thing, or maybe mum needs a couple of hours to herself after a busy day.

So, whether it’s taking a dip in a hot tub on the roof top terrace, breakfast on the decking overlooking the countryside or sitting with a book and a cooling drink as you listen to the sounds of the lake, there is a barn for everyone – ranging from two and three-bedroom options, right through to those with four and even six!

Cornwall Hideaways is looking to expand its portfolio of selfcatering holiday properties.

WAITING Cornwall is

Lodge and caravan ownership at one of Cornwall’s most prestigious coastal parks.

As a nation of staycationers, there is something very special about a UK holiday by the sea and perhaps nowhere more so than on the north Cornish coast. Coastdale Parks is a longestablished family-owned company, and its Cornish location, Atlantic Coast Holiday Park, offers ownership of modern, luxurious yet affordable holiday homes. Boasting a gold David Bellamy Conservation Award and just a few minutes’ walk from the three-mile stretch of golden sand that curves from Godrevy to the Hayle Estuary, owning here provides an opportunity for family holidays that will be remembered forever.

Experts in the field, Coastdale Parks knows only too well that buying a lodge or caravan shouldn’t be a stressful transaction which is

why they have dedicated advisors who will look after you at every stage of the journey to holiday home ownership. The choice of caravans and lodges available at Atlantic Coast Holiday Park is enviable. From brand new, top of the range caravans with double glazing and central heating, to good quality starter caravans – both new and pre-owned – years of Cornish holidays await no matter your taste or budget.

With immediately available stock published in regular lists, it’s easy to search for your dream holiday or, if you have a specific make or model not on the list, stock can be ordered in specially. You’re invited to experience Atlantic Coast Holiday Park for yourself on a weekend break, the cost of which is offset against any future purchase. However, owning

here not only affords Cornish family holidays for years to come, it can also be a lucrative source of income.

The residential buy-to-let market has experienced a downturn in recent years, largely due to tax implications for landlords as well as a slow-down in the growth of house prices amid the current cost of living crisis, so investors have been prompted to seek alternative options. Holiday home insurance specialists, Schofields reported that: “in peak season, a holiday let can earn you as much in a week as you would in a month from buyto-let, with holiday let landlords earning 30% more yield than their buy-to-let counterparts.” Post-pandemic, Cornwall’s staycation industry is still booming with the UK’s tourism market forecast growth of 87.5% to £257 billion by 2025 (Deloitte ONS).

Renting with Coastdale Parks couldn’t be easier due to the owners’ portal, which is a quick and easy way to manage your account. From the minute a guest books, everything is taken care of; payments are taken as per the booking conditions, followed up if necessary, before relevant pre-arrival information is sent out. On arrival, guests are greeted by the friendly reservation team who will provide them with information on their

accommodation, facilities and a wealth of local information.

Your guests have use of all the park facilities just as you do and the site’s guest services and maintenance teams are always on-hand should there be any issues, with the housekeeping team carefully preparing your holiday home for its next use after each stay. For owners who opt for the managed subletting scheme, they can also be safe in the knowledge that their holiday home meets all of the industry safety standards so it is able to be let safely.

Prices start from £65,000 and each new caravan or lodge comes with a ten-year structural warranty and up to a 25-year lease. Owners can also choose from fully furnished options which are sold with an inventory pack included. With extensive experience of lodge and caravan sales, Coastdale Parks is able to advise on what makes a desirable property, listing pet-friendly accommodation with a hot tub as the most desirable. As a family friendly park, Atlantic Coast is busiest during school holidays, so agreeing to let during those times will give more earnings.

By choosing to let with Coastdale you will be tapping into 20 years of digital marketing experience. Through digitally led strategic solutions, marketing plans are synchronised with sales processes to drive awareness. These services are led by expert digital consultants and experienced content creators, designers, developers and businesses advisors who are able to leverage the appropriate digital tools in order to create a demand for your product in the market.

A private sanctuary awaits you and your family for whenever you want to get away, as well as the opportunity for a return on your investment. So, why not share the love, while reaping the benefits?

Find the holiday home of your dreams at Ocean Cove, and make fond Cornish memories to last a lifetime.

Ocean Cove is a five-star private owners coastal retreat, nestled in the small and lesser known coastal village of Bossiney, between Tintagel and Boscastle. Boasting incredible views out across the dramatic Atlantic Ocean and cliff top, coastal walks can be enjoyed right from the doorstep.

There are 79 lodges in total across the park, kept safe and secure by a gated entrance and an on-site park warden. With brand-new and pre-owned holiday homes for sale, there are a variety to choose from, with sales typically completing within just a month of putting down a deposit. Subletting is not permitted, which keeps this a quiet and peaceful retreat.

Of course, family and friends are welcome to enjoy your property throughout the 12-month season. Owners have exclusive use of the 15m indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, steam room, gym and lounge, which has recently been refurbished to a very high standard, seven days a week. There is also the added benefit of an on-site laundry facility with 24-hour key access.

Cornwall’s Atlantic coast spans over 40 miles from Bude to Perranporth along a wildly beautiful stretch of north Cornwall. Ocean Cove couldn’t be better situated as a holiday home, sitting between the quintessentially Cornish Boscastle harbour and the village

of Tintagel, steeped in myth and legend and home to the impressive Tintagel Castle. You can access both on foot via the South West Coast Path, perfect for working up an appetite before a bite of lunch at The Rocket Store in Boscastle or a well-earned cream tea at the Beach Café, Tintagel Castle.

There are currently three, brand-new holiday homes on site and ready to purchase, with Bay View 14 (£265,000) commanding a much-coveted front row position looking out across rolling meadows to Bossiney Bay beyond. Whichever lodge you choose, you are assured of years of Cornish holidays that will make memories forever!

Discovering Cornwall’s sub-tropical realms with the help of Forever Cornwall.

é ABOVE

Like much of this beautiful county, the landscape of the south of Cornwall varies massively, stretching from Porthleven all the way up to Falmouth and beyond. From vibrant towns and peaceful creeks to rugged moors and dramatic cliffs, south Cornwall is home to a plethora of communities, coves and lifestyles.

If it’s cosy romantic cottages, clifftop apartments with exceptional sea views and large coastal houses big enough to fill with friends and family you’re after, look no further than Forever Cornwall, whose cottages are handpicked with your needs in mind. Each property is designed for whatever your heart desires; whether it's bedroom sea views to sit and watch the waves roll in on a Sunday morning, a large garden suitable for barbeques and al-fresco dining, or a cosy woodburner to snuggle up by of an evening, there’s really something for everyone.

For wild beauty, spend a day exploring the Lizard Peninsula. Between the picturesque fishing villages and unspoilt coastline, you can expect to see masses of wildlife; watch clifftop ponies graze and lace up your boots for some serious cliff path walking. The Lizard is also home to several beautiful coves and beaches such as Housel Bay and Kynance Cove, which remain striking all year round and are accessible on foot from the dog-friendly Parc Brawse House, which sleeps ten. At Coverack, the historic harbour is the heart of the village, and as well as small shops, top-quality cafés and an excellent pub, you can hire kayaks and stand-up paddleboards, and learn to windsurf. When staying in Forever Cornwall’s Coverack properties Mermaid Cottage (sleeps two) and Epic View (sleeps two), you’re never short of exceptional views.

Further up the coast you’ll find the Helford River. Here, the river has a rich history and

Falmouth, a vibrant and arty town is home to a number of sandy beaches with crystal clear waters

ê BELOW

Mermaid Cottage, a boutique cottage in Coverack with sea views sleeping two

has long been one of the most important in Cornwall — a few fishing boats still head out to sea from here and it’s a haven for yachts and leisure boating, as well as for wildlife. There are mussel and oyster beds here too, plus rich farmland, making the area a great place for food and drink. Helford is also the name of the beautiful and tiny village on the river’s southern bank, a short stroll from Forever Cornwall’s Helford River cottages, including Kestle Barton, all of which are full of character and vary in size. It’s also worth visiting Trebah and Glendurgan, which are two impressive sub-tropical gardens located above the Helford River.

If you’re after a lively atmosphere to spend a day meandering in and out of pubs and shops, engaging in the historic art of people watching, Falmouth is the place to stay. The laid-back and creative town of Falmouth is Cornwall’s arty hub, a maritime mecca surrounded by glorious countryside and world-class sailing waters, with gorgeous beaches on the doorstep and a vibrant food and drink scene. During the summer months, it’s pretty buntingstrewn streets come alive with regattas and festivals that celebrate its maritime heritage and culture, like the international Sea Shanty Festival and August’s Tall Ships Race. When

staying at Forever Cornwall’s properties Seadrift (sleeps six) and Castle Bay (sleeps four) in Falmouth, you’ll never be far from calm swimming waters or an abundance of things to do both day and night.

The tranquil marine waterway named Carrick Roads on the Fal River is full of pretty villages, like Flushing, Mylor and Feock. This area is an idyllic and sheltered part of Cornwall, an ideal spot to press pause and take in your surroundings. Despite being a quieter part of south Cornwall, Carrick Roads is one of the most underrated parts of Cornwall and is central to enjoy all of the popular spots at ease. The Reading Room and Trebartha (both sleeping six) are close to the King Harry Ferry at Feock, which transports cars and foot passengers daily to the Roseland Peninsula. Bordered by the Fal Estuary to the west and St Austell Bay to the east, The Roseland Peninsula has been designated part of Cornwall’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for the quality of its landscape and coastal scenery.

INTO LIFE Spring

Treat yourself to a hotel getaway that will nourish mind, body and soul.

This time of year, as Cornwall sheds her winter cloak, is the perfect opportunity to explore the coast. The summer crowds have yet to arrive so, along with quiet beaches and peaceful footpaths, you can make the most of long days bathed in warm sunshine. April and May can often be the nicest months in terms of weather with hedgerows and woodlands at their prettiest. Bright yellow gorse bursts into flower filling the air with its tropical scent while under tree canopies carpets of bluebells create a spectacular sight Where better to experience Cornwall in full bloom than at The Falmouth Hotel? With its stunning waterfront location and beautiful

period architecture, a stay here harks back to those glorious days gone by when seaside holidays were de rigueur. While its Victorian visitors are a thing of the past, the luxury and indulgence remains. Step through the doors and you will be transported to a place of peace and relaxation. Bedrooms are havens of calm, many with sea views, and for the ultimate stay a Sea View Suite embraces the hotel’s heritage with opulent furnishings and interiors.

Nourishment is the order of the day in all areas of The Falmouth Hotel. After a wonderful night’s sleep, a hearty breakfast comes with a view. This is your opportunity to look out across Falmouth Bay while making plans for

the day’s adventure. Perhaps a picnic on the beach or a stroll along the South West Coast Path? Or a visit to one of the area’s attractions perhaps? Pendennis Castle is only a short walk away, as is the National Maritime Museum Cornwall. Or the sub-tropical gardens along the Helford River have an impressive display of rhododendrons, magnolias and camellias during the spring months.

Fancy a spot of retail therapy? No problem, Falmouth is home to a plethora of independent boutiques and galleries. You can easily walk into town from the hotel, perhaps stopping off at Discovery Quay on the way for a coffee, before winding your way through along Market Street. Be sure to go as far as the High Street, where you will find a host of eclectic shops bursting with unexpected treasures. If you fancy making a day of it, you can catch the St Mawes Ferry from the Prince of Wales Pier which will whisk you across the Carrick Roads to this picturesque harbour village.

When the day is done, The Falmouth Hotel welcomes guests with drinks in the Lounge Bar. Sink-into sofas beckon as you settle to sip a glass of something cold, looking out over the beautifully manicured lawns to the sea beyond – this is a time to reflect fondly on the day

gone by while looking forward to the next. Formal dining takes place in the AA Rosetteawarded Castle Beach Restaurant. Perusing the seasonal menu, you’ll find it's packed with the best local produce and offers British cuisine with a distinct Cornish flavour.

No stay at the Falmouth Hotel would be complete without a visit to the spa. Its indoor heated swimming pool invites leisurely lengths; enjoy the feeling of floating to the sounds of the sea. Brand new treatment rooms offer the ultimate in relaxation.

ARCHIPELAGOEngland’s magical

The most southerly landfall in the UK, the Isles of Scilly lie just off Cornwall’s south-west coast, around 28 miles from Land’s End. And yet, the archipelago of islands, five of which are inhabited, feel like a world apart, with their own unique history, culture and even geography.

Flying into the islands, you could be forgiven for thinking you were somewhere in southern Europe. The islands crouch low and green in the Atlantic, grassy bluffs and brilliant white sand beaches giving onto startling turquoise water. Their southerly location and prevailing ocean currents mean the islands are among the warmest locations in Britain.

There are a host of activities to enjoy, from sailing adventures and snorkelling with seals, to exploring some of the outlying islands on kayaks and glass-bottom boat excursions, as well as wind and kite surfing and paddle boarding. On land, easy strolls are a great way to explore coastal paths, empty stretches of beach and verdant landscapes filled with endemic plant and flower species. Mountain biking and trekking are also great options for getting around, while there are regular boat services to shuttle you between the islands.

Clustered along a stunning stretch of coastline on St. Martin’s, the northernmost of the five islands, Karma St. Martin’s luxury boutique resort evokes a classic, English seaside village. The 30-room resort is set right on the edge of Par beach – a stunning stretch

of white sand giving onto pellucid waters that are perfect for a bracing dip.

The resort’s destination restaurant – Sir Cloudesley Shovell (named after a famous 17th century naval commander) – is an acclaimed eatery that has won the AA’s double-Rosette award for the last five years running. Fresh caught seafood and farm-to-table meats and produce are the order of the day, prepared in the modern French style. The restaurant offers ocean views all the way to nearby Tresco and the uninhabited islands that surround it. The excellent cuisine is matched by a wellstocked cellar, including Karma vintages, old and new world wines as well as access to our Enomatic Wine Machine for those interested in sampling.

There’s a pretty garden terrace and a private jetty where the ferry from St Mary’s docks when dropping off or picking up guests. It’s the perfect base from which to explore the magical islands – or simply to settle back and gaze off across the ocean with a glass of wine in hand. What’s more, you can do so with your favourite fourlegged friend in tow – Karma St. Martin’s is a dog-loving resort and your hound will be treated with as much care and attention as you are.

Equidistant between Land’s End and Sennen Cove, the Saddle and Stablerooms form a small complex of converted equestrian themed buildings that now play host to the holiday maker and traveller alike.

The three Stableroom studio rooms have been thoughtfully put together to create a cosy and intimate space for up to two guests. The interior finish reflects the original use of the building, perfect for couples and families looking for a quiet retreat from which to explore the stunning coastal surroundings. The Saddle Room apartments are a generous space ideal for extended stays, offering indoor and outdoor areas to relax and entertain. Throughout the apartment you’ll find tasteful reminders of what the building was used for in the past, with two en-suite bedrooms, an open-plan living space and sun terrace that leads down to a charming private garden.

Once you’re settled it’s time to head out there and immerse yourself in the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that wraps itself around your chosen Cornish bolt hole, safe in the knowledge that you’ll be returning to your cosy rustic hideaway when the day is done.

If you don’t wish to spend the day walking the coastal path then the beach at Sennen is a must. A long strip of sand backed by grassy

dunes it’s the perfect place to stop the world and relax, far away from the madding crowd. If the fancy takes you then it’s an ideal spot for surfing and bodyboarding too. Returning thirsty and hungry to your accommodation you’ll be greeted by the welcome sight of the First & Last Inn. This 17th century hostelry boasts a lovely sheltered beer garden at the rear in which to pass those balmy summer evenings, and in the winter, guests can enjoy the cosy, warm atmosphere provided by low-beamed ceilings and two roaring log fires. From homemade cuisine combining a mixed menu of locally sourced products, including fish and lots of local beers, they’ll have something that will suit the whole family.

So, next time you’re looking to head west (really west), then the Saddle and Stablerooms should definitely be on your radar!

RISING HIGH

Marrying

Back in 2014, Tom Hannon realised his dream. Now Chef Patron of The Rising Sun in Truro, Tom, and wife Katie, extend a warm, friendly and genuine welcome (there are no ‘too cool for school’ attitudes here) at this wonderfully unassuming dining destination. They have created a loyal foodie following and industry acclaim based on their ethos of inherent and uncompromising quality and attention to detail.

Having trained alongside Michelin star chefs, Tom’s passion, energy and drive are infectious. His love of classic flavours and precision cooking see him develop menus that guests want to return to again and again. Katie’s background in art and design has ensured the quirky, intimate spaces in the 18th century building are used to their full potential, adding a contemporary feel to a relaxed and unpretentious environment.

Tom and his kitchen team create a dining experience that is sophisticated, with a fantastic balance of flavours and textures cleverly constructed to elevate and enhance the best seasonal ingredients. Procurement from passionate local suppliers is at the core of the kitchen ethos and shines through on the menu, from rod and line-caught fish (they are licensed to buy direct from fishermen) to vegetables from a justice-oriented,

ecologically supportive and sustainable farm a few miles away.

You could be forgiven for assuming it is all about the food at this little gem of a pub, but with one of the best back bar selections to be found in the county it is most definitely a destination for craft spirits, carefully curated cocktails, unconventional wines and award-winning national and local beers. The same ethos to responsible sourcing and sustainability in the food runs right through the pub, from biodynamic wines (Katie is a trained sommelier and curates the wine list around these values whilst creating a list perfectly in sync with Tom’s indulgent food) to local craft beers and locally grown, seasonal flowers on the tables.

There are big plans afoot at The Rising Sun this spring, with the development of a secret courtyard garden which will play host to a range of intimate events. Themed nights are also on the agenda, celebrating the finest wines, cooking over fire, cocktail takeovers, summer festivals and more!

THE HORIZON New designs on

Introducing Jo Downs’ latest collection of Cornish-inspired glasswork.

Since the opening of her glass gallery in Sunningdale, Ascot, artist Jo Downs has brought a touch of the Cornish coast to the urban south east. Each season Jo presents a new collection, and this March she launches Cornish Sunset, a bright new series inspired by beach walks on a warm spring evening.

Beginning with the pure white of Cornish sands, her palette extends through the dazzling blues of the Atlantic Ocean, to the golds and flaming reds of a sunset in a clear blue sky. The lovely, liquid quality of Jo’s designs, which allow the ripples and bubbles of the fusing process to shine through, make her glass glow with colour and texture. The Cornish Sunset collection includes coasters, candle stands, vases, dishes, mirrors and more, and is available from mid-March online, at Jo’s Cornwall galleries and at Jo Downs Handmade Glass Gallery Sunningdale, which has become her flagship venue for the display of new designs. You can also see the new Cornish Sunset collection, alongside pieces from other Jo Downs ranges, at the Craft in Focus event at RHS Garden Wisley from 27th April to 1st May.

If you have a custom commission in mind, the Cornish Sunset colourway can be incorporated into a unique design made especially for you. Jo creates each commission at her private studio in Cornwall, and her Sunningdale gallery offers a free design service, guiding you through the process from first thought to final creation. For large scale or architectural commissions, Jo also offers a full installation service by arrangement.

Jo Downs Handmade Glass Sunningdale also runs regular workshops for groups of up to eight people, where you can learn the art of glass fusing with studio professionals. Each session includes a demonstration, followed by the opportunity to make pieces including fused glass hangings, coasters and framed artworks.

WONDERLANDWaterfront

Discover your chance to experience luxury living in Cornwall with the Omaze Million Pound House Draw.

The Omaze Million Pound House Draw has raised over £9,000,000 for UK charities, and a Cornish oasis is set to be the biggest grand prize yet. Overlooking the picturesque Fowey Estuary, complete with its own mooring spot, this idyllic three-storey house is the perfect setting for soaking up the sun, taking in the views and living life in ultimate luxury.

As an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, nearby Fowey boasts one of the most desirable waterfront locations in the country, with everything you need right on your doorstep: stunning cliff walks, a natural harbour and an excellent selection of shops, galleries and eateries. If exploring is on the agenda, you’re close to an array of Cornwall’s fine sandy beaches, perfect for sailing, surfing, canoeing, water skiing and windsurfing.

The property, designed by highly acclaimed architects Harrison Sutton, incorporates glass throughout, ensuring the south-west facing estuary views can be enjoyed from as many rooms as possible. With six bedrooms, six bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen and even its own yoga studio, there’s really no need to ever leave.

The layout has been meticulously engineered to provide elegant, spacious areas that flow seamlessly. Welcomed into the bright entrance hall, an adjacent home office provides panoramic inspiration from sunrise till sunset. Down the hall you’ll find a state-of-the-art kitchen and breakfast room, featuring a marble island and glazed sliding doors, which lead out onto a cantilevered balcony with glass balustrades; the perfect place to take in a morning coffee and relax to the serene sounds of the water below and the birds overhead. For more formal soirées, a secondary pantry and stylish dining room can be found across the way.

At the end of the hall lies the main sitting room, with yet more breathtaking estuary views, terrace access, and a double-sided log fireplace. Step through a hidden door and find yourself in a cosy cinema room, complete with 85” television. The first of six en-suite bedrooms leads on from the sitting room and, concealed behind a door, a secondary staircase leads to the primary guest bedroom. Featuring a dressing room, private vanity area, reading nook and shared balcony, guests will simply never want to leave.

Two further en-suite bedrooms reside on the first floor, but if it’s the wow-factor you’re after, the main bedroom offers that in abundance. Glazed walls display the property’s finest estuary views, teamed with a shared balcony, secluded dressing room, mirrored vanity area and a luxury en-suite bathroom with dual basins and a walk-in shower offering open-top sky views.

The lower ground floor contains a utility room, multi-purpose playroom or seventh bedroom, hobby room, wetsuit store and a final en-suite bedroom. In an annexe to the side of the house sits a yoga studio, with mood-enhancing estuarine views, a private terrace, large bathroom and ample outdoor storage units.

The interiors are superb. But the grounds of this property? They’re a sight to behold. Whether you’re dining al fresco in the northwest gardens, sipping cocktails on the central terrace, or cosying up by the fire watching the sunset to the south, with its mature gardens and views you’ll simply never tire of, this outdoor space offers something for everyone.

So, does waterfront life float your boat? By entering the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Cornwall, you’re in with a chance of making it all yours. No mortgage, no stamp duty, no legal fees, furnishings included and an incredible £100,000 cash to help you settle in. You’ll need to enter the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Cornwall, by Monday 1st May 2023, to be in with a chance of sailing off into the sunset with this £4,500,000 Cornish retreat.

And the best part? 80% of the net proceeds from the draw will go towards helping Marie Curie provide end of life care and support for over 40,000 people each year. Matthew Reed, Chief Executive at Marie Curie, says: “This partnership will raise important funds and awareness so that Marie Curie can be there for more people with a terminal illness. We are delighted that Omaze has chosen to partner with us.”
