The outdoors have a big inﬂuence on interior design, in Cornwall in particular. Recently, I enjoyed a fascinating visit to Padstow to meet Jill Stein, who has quite a philosophical approach to interiors and gardens, as places of calm and tranquillity; spaces to relax in and take time to reﬂect. It turned out to be a recurring theme, shared by many of the people I spoke to for our cover feature. So maybe it’s time to de-clutter a little at least, and bring some calming colours into your home or holiday let. As one designer puts it: “Bring the outside in, take your colours from nature, make your home your sanctuary”. While in Padstow, I caught up with two inspiring men from north Cornwall who are embarking on one of the toughest races on earth: rowing across the Atlantic Ocean. We also met some interesting artists and artisans, living and working here in Cornwall, whose imaginations are fuelled by the rolling waves and roaring seas, each in their own unique way. If you fancy escaping the city, this issue is packed with a fantastic array of retreats and getaways, from luxury self-catering to chic boutique hotels, as well as some fabulous eateries offering the freshest seasonal fare. After all this, you might even be tempted to invest in your own property in Cornwall. And while you’re here, why not treat yourself to a spot of ‘me time’? See our ideas for stunning coastal wellness retreats and rejuvenate in style. Enjoy reading!

Got to go to... Crantock Bay

rantock Bay in the hamlet of West Pentire is a beautiful stretch of coastline. In fact, it was voted Britain’s Best Beach in 2014 by The Sunday Times Travel. The bay is enriched by Crantock Bay Apartments, an incredible selection of 5-star, luxury properties, all with stunning sea views of the beach and coastline beyond. Stop for a coffee or lunch at C-Bay, the stylish café, bar and bistro. Whatever the weather and whatever your mood, you won’t be short of things to do. Go for a swim in the indoor heated pool, relax in the spa bath and make use of the all-weather tennis court. Dogs are also welcome at C-Bay and some of the apartments too. So with the South West Coast Path running through the grounds and the beach a two-minute walk away, it’s the perfect retreat for the whole family.

Acclaimed Porthleven photographer opens new gallery Porthleven’s Carla Regler has been steadily building a reputation for her stunning and often dramatic land and seascape photography. She’s captured everything from the crashing waves and stormy seas of west Cornwall, to the wild horses of Carmargue and even the dazzling Northern Lights. Fans of Seadrift on Fore Street won’t be strangers to Carla’s work, which graces the walls of the popular kitchen-café. In fact, the gallery upstairs, stocking a wide range of gifts from mugs to large wall art, has caused such a stir that Carla is now opening another gallery, just around the corner on Chapel Terrace. The Seadrift gallery will remain open, while the new space allows Carla to expand her photography collection, with a view to displaying other artists’ work too. Open in time for Christmas, stock up on gifts for all the family. If you fancy having a go at creating some masterpieces of your own, why not enroll on one of Carla’s half-day workshops? These also make fantastic gifts for a photographic partner! Seadrift, Fore Street, Porthleven 01326 558733 www.carlaregler.com 01326 558733

S PAC E S All the latest ideas and trends on beautiful colour, statement artifacts, glorious soft furnishings and design for small spaces.

hether you are starting from scratch, want to turn your home into a peaceful haven with the latest trends in colour and design; or are renovating a holiday let, we have some top tips from some of our favourite designers, with the wealth of interior design advice on offer in Cornwall. The hard bit was choosing which ones to ask! It all started after talking to Jill Stein. Her ideas, about design, but more importantly the role of ‘home’, even if just for a holiday, were thought provoking. “Interiors should

be calming and restful. Tranquil. I love being on my own at home, it’s my refuge.” Jill advocates the use of shaded whites, greys, blues and white, soft colours that seem to change with the light, a log burner, bookcases, and good use of lighting. “All my lights have dimmer switches on them. I think lighting can make or break a room,” she says. Wood ﬂoors and ceilings are popular and I think we will see more wood, stone and even marble being used especially in bathrooms.” So we went on a bit of ourney to nd out more.

Making your home your sanctuary

Acclaimed interior designer Nicola O’Mara had similar thoughts but with some different ideas. “In this very busy world of gadgetry, people are nding sanctuary in their home. We are trying to avoid the huge overload of technology around us. Creating warm, subtle and atmospheric interiors, inﬂuenced by the outside random organic shapes, curiosity cabinets, fossils, crochet, lace, baskets and weave, all with an added twist of luxury. There are varying colour hues; think sea urchins, coral, mineral crystals, new and old designs, silver mixed with ceramics and extravagant one of a kind pieces.” Nicola suggests using fresh and breezy fabrics, mesh and weave in furniture, layering indigo washed linen throws and adding oriental and Nordic inspired accents in soft warm and gentle colours. She adds, “Use plants and greenery to soften the room and aid relaxation and decorate with beautiful large crystals and minerals to create warm surrounding spirit.” www.nicolaomara.com

Bringing the outside in

Julianne Shelton from Cornish Gems, the luxury holiday cottage company, uses Shepherd’s House, one of the holiday homes they market, as an example. Julianne explains, “It’s a stunning Georgian home and the owner, interior designer Emma Caddis from Elemental Interiors has created truly stylish spaces for relaxed living.” Emma goes on to explain: “The Cornish love of the outdoors suits the trend for bringing nature in to your home. Furniture that can be used indoors and out, with interior details inspired by the environment. 2016 is a celebration of all things natural, mixed up with metallics, to give a bit of edge. Shepherd’s House’s beautiful proportions and stunning natural light are matched by its tranquil, generous grounds; so we let the house and gardens do the talking”. Emma says: the interior is fluid from the inside out, connecting the space to the outside is really important today.” late floors run out to the terrace while a vintage chair with sheepskin rug creates warmth and texture. A large silver leaf mirror reflects a fabulous twisted willow chandelier, which adds some sparkle whilst picking up the natural vibe. Julianne adds, “It feels relaxed and convivial – warm in winter, open and free in summer. Guests can kick off their shoes and enjoy. True Cornish style.” www.cornishgems.com

On the cover A return to the artisan

Interior stylist Jessica Forbes has some great ideas on the use of colour, she explains: “Trending this season and well into 2016 is a return to the artisan. Be inspired by handmade pottery and handwoven textiles, infusing historic designs and techniques with new and bold de nition. The colour palette is based on a global inﬂuence of vibrant oranges, mustardy yellows and natural greens paired with traditional tones of black, browns, greys and cream. Add to these warm metallics, copper, bronze and rose gold to embrace a little retro bling! And don’t be afraid to mix vintage items with mass produced goods, for example a vintage Ercol sofa, a retro pouf, an Ikea cushion and a fabulous rug from the Cornwall Rug Company. Bring the outdoors in! House plants have always been popular but more now than ever. Cacti and succulents are right on trend as they work brilliantly with the ﬂuid geometric shapes adorning the coolest interiors today. jessicaforbes.houzz.co.uk

One thing at a time

Less is more and clutter is probably, almost certainly, out! So how to add to your freshly decorated room? We spoke to Tristan Williams from Earthworks, who sell design originals and a selection of vintage and salvaged items. “One good piece can transform a space - be it furniture, a picture, a mirror, an object of interest or art piece. Go for quality and keep it simple to begin with, and enjoy the process of creating and de ning your space. Mixing old and new adds interest and depth providing you are consistent on quality. This does not mean expensive, just a great eye for good design and quality no matter what the object. ne key piece can de ne and uplift a space. o not try to ll the space in one go! Cornwall offers a unique resource for creating an interesting and enjoyable space that isn’t the usual high street solution. e ne your space and make it your own be inspired by the creative energy of Cornwall.” www.earthworks.co.uk

Good design doesn’t need to shout…

So says Isabel Humphreys from Coastal Spaces who showcase beautiful coastal interiors, furnishings and design from some of the best across Cornwall and Scandinavia. She shares the following tips with us: et nature inspire your colour palette. White and neutral colours allow a subtle backdrop. Cornish inspired artwork, soft furnishings and accessories add the colour and give a room the Cornwall feel. on t over clutter allow the interior to be bright and airy, functional but comfortable. And never over-do the nautical decor - less is more when it comes to rope, driftwood and seashells! Wall cladding adds a nautical feel to a room it s uite subtle, but adds warmth and makes a room more interesting. ne of the key themes for is ordic. We will see lots of blues and greys and a lot of white. These all work well in a Cornish interior. nother trend is the abstract take on the lines and movement of nature such as the sea, sand, rocks, not just in art, but also in some fabric and textiles. www.coastalspaces.co.uk

Designing for small spaces

Clare ughes from C Interior esign tells me: “Small spaces present the most challenging projects for interior designers, but they are also great fun to work with. Having special restrictions forces you to think outside the box, and often you come up with the most creative solutions this way.” She shared these images of a shower room that was built into an attic space between two bedrooms. It made very good use of what used to be two non-functional cupboards. Each cupboard opened into opposite bedrooms, and neither was easy to access or worked well for storage. Clare explains, “With some careful planning we created a wonderful funky shower room, a much more usable space. We played with cheerful vivid colours, as well as using non slip ltro ﬂooring for the ﬂoor, we used it on the walls to create the matching basin splash-back. We didn’t want tiles on the walls, and glass panels far exceeded the budget, so we used acrylic sheeting to line out the shower enclosure.” The result is a fun, yet very practical space, with a slightly retro feel, that might give you some ideas of what can be achieved in a small space, and add value to your home. www.chdesigners.co.uk

Renovating your holiday let for less ucie from etamorphosis by esign, whose mission it is to transform Cornish homes into coastal lifestyle properties on a minimal budget, gave us some tips on making the most of your holiday let. “Most people coming to Cornwall on holiday expect a beachy, coastal look. There are some fantastic interior designers in Cornwall, some are über-contemporary, and prices can differ considerably; so it’s worth shopping around to nd someone who suits your property, your style and your pocket!”

In the example pictured, Lucie completely changed the look of the bedroom by changing the original feature wall paper for a white sun-bleached wood effect paper (£32.95), added two bedside lights (£59.95 each) and nished with the fresh chic bedding . for a fresh Cornish beachy vibe; proving that you can do it all affordably!

Padstow’s Jackie Stanley Estate Agents celebrates 21 years of finding beautiful Cornish homes.

A leading light

We take a glimpse into the life of celebrated landscape artist, Steve Slimm, to discover why his work leaves people captivated.

w ords b y :

Jamie Osborne

nergy-packed and beautiful. That’s what has been said about the artworks of Steve Slimm, who has been producing exceptional oil landscapes since 1979, with no sign of slowing up. A deep passion and unique expression of Cornwall’s landscape shines clearly through all his work. Steve, who studied for a short while under the late John Miller, cites the great seascape painter Turner as an inspiration and has been featured in UK art foundation courses for his quality of light. He began his fruitful career of over three decades wandering from door to door, showcasing his work to anyone who was prepared to take a look. He soon began to make a living and built a growing following, helping him become established in galleries throughout Cornwall and the UK. Steve chooses to explore themes for his paintings around Cornwall and further a eld, whether it be the rugged coastline or enchanted moorlands, focusing on the lay of the land with little or no interference from man. teve has no lack of popularity, nding excitement in new and upcoming exhibitions and galleries to supply. “There is always a sense anticipation, expectancy

and even fun – along with timidity with new ventures”, he explains. Steve’s drive is heightened by personal contact with clients, discussing their personal connection and draw to a particular piece and realisation of common ground. Irene Woodhead from Penryn found that common ground with a piece called ‘Towans’ from the Claremont Gallery. “The beauty has arrived, and we are gazing and gazing!” Irene says. “It really is an excellent painting and we are thrilled and honoured to be able to enjoy it every day”. Steve adds: “I probably get more of a sense of ful lment seeing my work so well appreciated, than actually painting it in the rst place Steve's extraordinary work can be seen in a number of galleries in Cornwall and is currently exhibiting in the Clifton Fine Art Gallery 8 Perry Road Bristol BS1 5BQ (Tel:0117-9256952) featuring work from both Cornwall and the Bristol area.

t will take 60 days or more and take them across the Atlantic: that’s over 3000 miles… rowing… two hours on, two hours off, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Forty foot waves, solitude, blisters and sleep deprivation; it is little wonder that more people have been into space or climbed Everest than rowed the Atlantic! I meet Neil Blackeby (above left) and Hamish Stewart, one of the teams entering this year’s race just before they leave Padstow for a 24hour practice row to check out the boat. The boat looks tiny moored up in the inner harbour but Neil and Hamish positively bounce off her to greet me. They are nothing if not hugely (probably should be in capitals!) enthusiastic about their upcoming adventure, and an hour shoots by as they keep me entertained with facts and stories, much

laughter and constantly interrupting each other. Neil tells me, “It all started at Earls Court boat show when I was 10! I met Tom aka oby aclean, one of the rst ocean rowers. I pretty much spent the day with him, following him round; and since then I have always wanted to row across the Atlantic.” Neil became a keen sailor, cruising, racing and delivering boats around the UK, Ireland and rance, despite working as a re ghter in Windsor for 23 years! When he retired, he moved back to Cornwall. Then in 2011 the chance to buy the ocean-going rowboat came up. “She was built in Penzance in 2009 for the Atlantic Challenge, but the rowers hit a reef one mile from the nish line, so weren t placed in the race. It’s one of the original design plywood boats and we have spent a lot of time getting her ready for another go.

We ll nish this time amish chips in nd we’ll be the oldest boat in this year’s race, with the oldest combined age between us of 105! But we certainly aren’t underestimating the challenge the rst week is going to be really hard while we settle in, but we’ve both wanted this for so long; we want to enjoy it, to embrace the whole experience.” Neil and Hamish became friends through rowing – both are members of Port Isaac Rowing Club, so when Neil bought the boat he talked to Hamish about taking part in the Atlantic Challenge. “We got lucky with some sponsorship.” Hamish explains, “On the last day of entries for the challenge, we had a meeting with Sharp’s Brewery who agreed to sponsor us. We were in! Now all we have to do is nd someone to sponsor bringing the boat back!” Raising money for the boat and their chosen charity Children’s Hospice SW, in particular Little Harbour in St Austell, has taken up a lot of their time. Local pubs have each sponsored an oar – that will eventually end up on the pub wall, and small local companies have helped, either with bits of kit or funding, and Josh Kernow has done a charity record for them; the local community has really taken them to their hearts. “We have raised £6000 for Little Harbour already, but hope to raise more including some from the sale of the boat after the race,” Neil adds. The boat will be thoroughly checked by the organisers before and after the race, mainly for safety reasons. Hamish says: “We have to take 70 days worth of dehydrated and

wet food; bottles of water sit in the bottom of the hull to help with the self righting of the boat should we capsize. We have to keep all our rubbish on board – they check that when we arrive.” Neil interrupts, serious for a moment: “And we have to be tied on at all times; a life jacket is not much use if you fall overboard in mid ocean and aren’t tied on! Usually quite a short line, but in rough weather we’ll be clipped onto a longer line, so if we do get thrown out when the boat goes over we are well clear and don’t get hit by her!” Hamish chips in with another grin “Oh yeah, that’ll be me, swimming outside the cabin door, knocking to be let in, while Neil sleeps through all the drama!” I ask if the boat will be ‘dry’, they answer together: “Oh no, there’s some medicinal rum, a seafaring tradition and, of course, a bit of brandy and port in case of stomach upsets! And we are taking some treats: pork scratchings, smarties, jelly babies.” Hamish looks at Neil, “But you’ve eaten all the jelly babies already!” As I leave them back on the boat getting ready to go out, I decide that they are rmly on my dinner invite list – if they are so entertaining now, imagine the conversation after the race is completed! Then I hear Neil ask Hamish: “Shall we go for a quick half before we set off?”

If you are looking to buy or sell a boat, make Ancasta International Boat Sales your first port of call.

é ABOVE The B eneteau impressive 12.80m S ense 43 CENTRE The Oceanis 60 interior RIGHT Relaxing on the luxurious deck of the Oceanis 60 BELOW The Prestige 750

ncasta International Boat Sales has been operating from Falmouth, Mylor, Plymouth and Dartmouth for almost 35 years. Throughout this time, the company’s passion for being on and around boats, supporting local sailing clubs, marinas, boatyards and events, has kept it closely linked with Cornwall’s sailing community. Ancasta is Europe’s largest brokerage network with a global presence and local knowledge, backed up by o ces in the UK, Portugal, Spain and France. “Ancasta’s success is based on giving our clients a local window to a global world,” says Simon Boote, Managing Director, Ancasta International Boat Sales - West Country. Ancasta is the UK’s leading agent for

Beneteau Sail and Power, Lagoon Catamarans, Prestige Luxury Motorboats and CNB yachts, so if you’re keen to purchase a new or used luxury yacht or power boat in Cornwall, the local experts are on hand to help.

Size does matter The Internet is a powerful tool. However, it does mean that any brokerage can present itself as something it is not. A website and a sign-written van is not an international yacht brokerage. Scale affords Ancasta many advantages, not least a huge and varied portfolio. But, equally, it’s the unparalleled experience, built up over many years in the industry, which sets the company apart from more recent upstarts. A yacht is a big investment and this experience as an industry leader ensures quality advice from knowledgeable professionals.

Confidence Buyers value security. “Our size enables us to list and sell more boats than most brokers, but it s the protection that comes from uali ed staff, best working practices such as an insistence on dedicated client accounts that is the real value of working with Ancasta,” says Tara Donovan Soltys, Regional Brokerage

30 CORNWALL LIVING CLM 38--ED--Ancasta--2.00.indd 2

11/11/2015 12:23

Manager. When making a purchase on this scale, it pays to opt for a respected agent and protect that investment. Buying and selling through a recognised broker is key, whether in nding a boat you ll love forever, or nding your beloved boat a new home.

Online reach Ancasta’s longevity means that it has been at the forefront of the Internet revolution, operating one of the yachting industry’s premier websites. In fact, its site has more than 60,000 visits per month, and it feeds out to top national and international brokerage sites. So if you want to sell your yacht, a listing with Ancasta immediately exposes it to an international audience. “We are really proud of our client and boat management software and our ability to match listed boats to clients is key to our success,” adds Tara.

A network A key element in Ancasta’s success is its o ce network. Its o ces have real time access to all the group’s listings and clients. “This dramatically increases the coverage that each boat receives or the access that each buyer enjoys,” explains Tara. “Our ability to bring together local knowledge with our national and international coverage is second

to none. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the West Country where for almost 35 years we have been operating out of Mylor, Falmouth, Plymouth and Dartmouth.”

A personal touch While a boat is a big investment, it is also a thing of joy, providing lasting memories for you and your family to cherish forever. As sailing enthusiasts and boat owners, the team at Ancasta understands the pleasure a boat can bring and what makes it special.

People The Internet has the power to put buyers and sellers together, but the more the industry evolves, the more critical it becomes to work with uali ed, professional brokers. In an essentially unregulated environment, adhering to the highest possible standards of professionalism counts for a great deal. Buyers will pay to have good paperwork because there is a cost in having poor paper work: it may and should prevent a sale.”

Take a moment to celebrate the stunning Cornish coastline. eelgrass and kelp beds, and serene river estuaries and inlets; it’s a beautiful place to lose yourself in. Adventurer Monty Halls has been helping to raise money on the South West Coast Path Challenge, encouraging people to walk the path and help safeguard its future. It costs a staggering £1000 at least per mile to maintain. “Some of my happiest memories have been out running or walking the South West Coast Path,” says Monty. “It’s my salvation… It’s one of the most magical trails in Europe, certainly in terms of its wildlife and terrain.” Certainly a worthy cause! So in honour of this fantastic coastline, we celebrate its magnetic draw upon the artists and artisans of Cornwall, meeting some inspiring individuals whose livelihoods are fundamentally bedded to the coast, each in their own way.

e’re forever championing the amazing happenings across Cornwall, and there’s typically one thing uniting them all: the coast. Whether serving as a backdrop for a delicious meal, or the source of the delicious meal itself; a place to inspire, whether watching the waves or riding them – the coast, in some way or other, is pretty much the reason we’re all here. In fact, the story of Cornwall really is the story of the coast. After all, Cornwall boasts the longest coastline in Great Britain, stretching 433 miles. You’re never more than 20 miles from the sea, while in some places you can see it whether looking north or south! The other amazing thing is the extreme diversity of the landscape: granite cliffs, rocky coves and headlands, sandy beaches and dunes, mudﬂats, maerl,

The coastal painter

“Location is everything for me”

“I love the drama of the north coast”, says contemporary landscape painter, John Dyer, “but the colour, sub-tropical plants, boats, wildlife, ﬂowers and people are all ama ing subjects on the south. In 1989, I spent some time in the Amazon Rainforest and this expedition made me want to paint and to paint amazing plants. I then realised Falmouth offers the perfect base and subject.” Indeed, many of the big botanical gardens (Trebah, Glendurgan, Heligan, Tregothnan) are on or near the south coast, thanks to the temperate, subtropical climate. Looking out upon the English Channel, the sheltered south promises an abundance of enchanting creeks, tree-lined estuaries, river inlets and rias from the Carrick Roads to the Helford River; inviting the gentler pastimes of messing about on the river, inspiring literary greats like Daphne Du Maurier and Kenneth Grahame. John works from a studio in Falmouth, close to Castle Beach, “a wonderful mix of beach life and town. On one side we have the busy hustle and bustle and on the other it’s all sun cream and icecream!” John uses vibrant colours and free brush strokes to capture the excitement and energy of the coast, always with a sense of fun and mischief. “Location is everything for me”, explains John. “Falmouth has that rare blend of commerce and holiday all mixed up and that is what my life is really. I call it being on holiday at home and I have now been on ‘holiday’ for 25 years… it’s great!” John has a long association with the Tall Ships Regatta, having worked as the o cial artist in residence over the years. “It really is wonderful. Falmouth does Tall Ships in a league of its own.”

On the cover The surfboard shaper

The north coast is typically wilder, more dramatic and rugged magni cent in its e tremes, with imposing cliffs and sandy beaches. Being exposed to the Atlantic’s prevailing winds, it’s the UK’s home of sur ng and the more adrenaline fuelled watersports. The earliest known footage of UK sur ng emerged recently from . Inspired by an Australian newsreel, a group of young mavericks decided to give it a go, taking their homemade longboard down to Newquay. For surfboard shaper Justin Woolcott, the north coast has always held a special place in his heart. rowing up in north Cornwall, sur ng was a way of life,” Justin explains. “My neighbour had a surfboard factory and I used to spend hours watching and asking questions about the whole process, right from the unshaped blank to the nished article. Inspired, he set up orph Surfboards to carry the mantle himself. With ever more boards being churned out on soulless production lines overseas, Justin is proud to keep the handcrafted artisanal skills alive in

Cornwall: “It’s a shame that the art of shaping has become obscured in a world of mass production and consumerism,” he says. Justin prefers to make each board completely unique to its owner, even going so far as to watch the client sur ng to tailor the board to their individual style. “I’ve been lucky to work alongside some great shapers and industry innovators and I’ve always been amazed at the lines and curves that can be crafted by hand,” says Justin, who sees supporting local businesses and artisans as fundamental. “There are people locally who are capable of producing great boards”, he adds, “right here in Cornwall.” The draw is not ust the sur ng itself, but also the culture and spirit that comes with it. In Justin’s view, nothing beats his local beach, Chapel Porth. “In good waves and good weather, it can’t be beaten!”

The boutique beach café

But let’s not forget the western tip, stretching from Land’s End down to the Lizard Peninsula. The wild Lizard is a beast of its own, with geology and wildlife totally different from the rest of Cornwall, from its outcrop of serpentine rock to the rare Cornish Chough. It’s home to many rare plant species due to its unique mineral make up, hosting three ites of pecial cienti c Interest. But it’s not all about rocks and plants. West Cornwall is the true home of global communications: Porthcurno was once the intelligence centre of the empire, huge cables laid on the seabed sending telegraphs to the far reaches of the empire. Back down on the Lizard, Poldhu Cove near Mullion is the site of the rst transatlantic wireless transmissions by Marconi in 1901. Since 1997, this cove has been home to Poldhu Beach Café, a small but funky café nestled into the sand dunes, with incredible views across the Atlantic – the perfect spot to enjoy Pizza Night on Fridays! But it’s so much more than just a beach diner. Poldhu produces its own range of

beachwear, from hoodies to hats. The real treat is the bestselling Wayfarer-inspired sunglasses made from natural bamboo. ven better, they ﬂoat The rugged beauty of the Lizard captivated Carla Regler, who has since become a renowned photographer. Carla says: “My interest in photography began during a move to Cornwall to pursue a new business venture in Porthleven. It was from here that I fell in love with the amazing landscapes, seascapes and wildlife in the area, and my passion for photography grew from there.” “Each image holds a vision; a meaning, a story”, continues Carla. “Everyday awaits a new image, a new light; endless ever-changing possibilities.” So, there you have it: the coast in a snapshot. But don’t just take our word for it – get those boots out, get inspired and go discover it for yourself!

ocated just a ten-minute drive from the Eden Project is Best Western Restormel Lodge Hotel, a modern 36-bedroom hotel.

e p a Etoscthe coast For the ultimate getaway by the sea, here’s how to ensure you have a Perfect Stay.

INSET Penrich is now available to rent exclusively through Perfect S tays é MAIN The golden sands of Constantine B ay

any people associate Cornwall with summer holidays and buckets and spades, but there’s a lot to be said for an out of season retreat. Holiday rental specialists Perfect Stays are always on hand to offer their guests a knowledgeable concierge service, and have stepped in to give us the inside scoop on the best place to stay and the best activities in and around the Constantine Bay area. Those who know this coast well may be familiar with the sleek silhouette of Penrich, an impressive property that is now available to rent exclusively through Perfect Stays. Sleeping 12, the house is perfect for families or friends and is available to rent for short stays out of season. Don’t forget to bring the dog too: most of Cornwall’s beaches lift their dog bans between the end of October and start of Easter. The golden sands of Constantine Bay are just 200 metres away, so wrap up warm and take a picturesque ramble to Trevose Head to marvel at the elements, the views and the towering structure of Trevose Lighthouse. With seven beaches to choose from, it would be rude not to take a dip. So take a deep breath, pull on that 5mm wetsuit, and get in! The colder months bring some of the best swells (and less crowds!). Local surf

schools still run lessons for most of the year, with stand up paddle boarding an all-yearround pursuit. In December, the Padstow Christmas Festival is a must. Now in its eighth year, the country’s leading Christmas festival is taking place over the 3rd to 6th December. The weekend is packed with incredible local produce markets, reworks and cookery demonstrations from 40 of Britain’s most esteemed chefs. While we’re on the subject, it goes without saying that the Padstow greats of Paul Ainsworth’s Number 6 and Rick Stein’s The Seafood Restaurant are always a safe bet for excellent dining; but those willing to venture outside of Padstow will discover the fantastic Rafferty’s Wine Bar in St Merryn or a hearty roast beside a wood re at Rick tein s Cornish Arms. After long days of brisk walks, watersports and gorging on local delicacies, retiring to Penrich to relax on oversized sofas in front of the roaring re sounds like the perfect respite to us.

Opened in 1963 on the site of an ancient sand dune, the high-spec holiday village comprises 27 acres of coastal woodland, all just a stone’s throw from sandy Mawgan Porth beach and the dramatic coast path. The Park is equally great for a week with family as it is for a romantic weekend away.

Choose your retreat The accommodation is varied in both size and style. The Park caters for couples, families and groups, sleeping two to 12. Choose from spacious individual lodges, a house with terrace, summer house or Air Stream caravan. In spring, stay at the yurt village, sleeping up to 12. Over the winter the hot tubs also remain open, so after a long day walking the coast path, you can relax at home and enjoy a drink in the hot tub before curling up in front of a log re, available in many of the properties. This is self-catering at its best, and never more so than at Christmas. Here, you can relax into festive celebrations with loved ones. Each of

the properties will be decked out with a Christmas tree, and The Park’s team has organised a magical visit by Father Christmas for children on Christmas Eve in the Yurt Village. Christmas lunch is also taken care of by the talented team: the Christmas Day lunch menu has just been released and it’s a mix of traditional with all the tasty trimmings, and modern dishes. Book as soon as you can to avoid disappointment, as The Park Café is always popular with locals and residents alike. Guests are invited to make use of the heated indoor swimming pool, and for those looking to relax, we recommend the sauna and steam room. Children are encouraged to let off steam in the toy lled play park. t the Park Caf you ll nd a welcoming spot for a full Cornish breakfast, or dinner if you don’t fancy cooking. The café serves up hearty meals including delicious burgers, sharing platters and locally caught sh and chips. Alternatively, grab a moment midmorning and relax with a coffee and a piece of homemade cake.

Wonderful walks You can also bring the dog - great news if you love exploring. At just £40 per dog, per stay, there’s no need to leave them at home (with a maximum of two dogs per property). The vast expanse of sand at Mawgan Porth beach right outside is dog-friendly, as is Watergate Bay to the west, another year round dogfriendly beach which, at low tide, has two

Half an hour by car from the hotel you can nd the tropical Eden Project, which is a fun day out for anyone, but it is also a chance to see one of Cornwall’s most loved attractions. Beneath the rocky cliffs where the hotel is perched lies a stunning sandy beach reached from the path that leads from the hotel’s garden. The coastal path takes you to Mevagissey town and harbour, which is just a short walk from the hotel. If you feel like exploring the surroundings of the hotel or you just feel like sitting back and enjoying the beautiful scenery, Trevalsa Court Hotel has everything to offer you on your break. The hotel itself is understatedly grand, with a mi ture of colours throughout reﬂecting little pieces of the Cornish landscape. Trevalsa, Cornish for house on a cliff, contains a cosy seating area with a roaring re in the winter months, an intimate bar and an informal relaxed restaurant. Many of the rooms have eye-catching sea views, while all promise a touch of glamour with a sumptuous en-suite bathroom, TV and DVD player and hospitality trays.

Much of the tasty fare is locally sourced. Head Chef, Adam Cawood, uses only the freshest ingredients in his menu to create delicious, interesting and simply cooked food.

WELLNESS RETREATS If you’re keen for some fresh Cornish sea air, amazing views pure relaxation, here’s how to escape the stresses and strains of everyday life with added luxury.

ornwall is increasingly known for its fantastic array of spas and wellbeing getaways. And there’s a great variety on offer here, some catering for couples, some for families and all in beautiful destinations. There are even some that will travel to you! Here are some great ideas to help you rejuvenate mind and body.

CLIFFTOP ESCAPE Looking out to the horizon from the shimmering cliff-top pool, it’s hard to tell exactly where the pool nishes and the ocean begins. s far as romantic getaways go, it really doesn’t get much better. This is The Scarlet, an ultra chic, purpose-built and environmentally conscious hotel and spa, perched on the cliff on Mawgan Porth. In this setting, you can’t help but unwind. The way the site interacts with the landscape is a master stroke. Smooth curves and straight lines seamlessly blend inside and out, while an internal uncovered courtyard echoes a Roman villa from the future. The pool is chemical free, cleaned by the reeds. The whole place has been realised with luxury and comfort in mind, down to the very last detail. The Scarlet is a grown-ups only hotel, so there’ll be no screaming children next door. And that’s just as well, because a stay here feels almost like a spiritual experience, heightened by the array of treatments. The spa focuses on holistic wellbeing and every person’s experience is unique, with spa treatments

customised to suit the individual in question. Spa Operations Manager Caroline Cornish explains: “Our signature treatment is the Scarlet Journey, using Ayurveda as a lens to understand body and mind as a whole. And we totally tailor your time at the spa. It s not one si e ts all. Ayurveda is an ancient health system going back thousands of years. A key ingredient is marma point massage, which uses massage techniques to relieve pressure points, providing deep relaxation In the rhassoul, cake yourself in natural mud, rich in minerals, and follow this with a trip to the hammam, a Morrocan steam room (a bit like a Turkish bath). Or simply relax in the cliff-top hot tub. Caroline continues: “We offer a lot of space and time for people who don’t often have much of either. We’re right on the Coast Path, so you can literally wander straight out and enjoy a cliff top walk followed by a treatment in the spa – it’s all about resetting. And after a day of replenishment, the relaxation continues in the contemporary, stylish rooms, beautifully furnished. Each is unique and all boast the fantastic sea view and some outdoor space, whether a private courtyard or balcony. “It’s really lovely, that moment in the morning when you wake up, and open the windows to the stunning view.

“Taking a deep breath of the sea air, listening to the waves from the hot tub... It’s what memories are made of” Caroline Cornish

YOGA BREAK If you’re looking to revive in style and comfort, head to Costislost House, a luxury boutique B&B at Washaway, in lush countryside between Wadebridge and Bodmin. This fantastic getaway is run by couple Nick Meacham and Jane Parker, who founded North Cornwall Yoga. Combining Nick’s years of experience as a hotelier across the globe and ane s e pertise as a uali ed nutritionist and chef, they offer short breaks and weekends for singles, couples and larger groups. The breaks are centred on a healthy eating, ashtanga yoga, meditation and sports. You don’t have to be a yoga expert or health fanatic. Nick says: “What we want to do is create a wellbeing hub, for everybody who wants do yoga and stay healthy. It’s really about everyone feeling better about themselves, and realising that living a healthy lifestyle can actually be enjoyable. “These are breaks rather than retreats; we’re not about retreating from the world, but embracing what Cornwall has to offer, from nature to watersports. s well as yoga and meditation, you’ll be treated to activities that might include sur ng, cycling the Camel trail, walking across the moors, kayaking, and paddleboarding. On the Wild Cornwall weekend, you’ll experience foraging with resident expert, Rachel Lambert. And Cornwall really is the perfect location for

an adventure such as this. “It’s a beautiful stretch of coastline and woods, so it provides a fantastic range of edible plantlife, from seaweed and threecornered leeks, to berries and other plants from the hedgerows, says ick. nd in the evening, you ll sample a delicious meal prepared by award-winning chef Jane using your day’s foragings. There’s a big focus on providing good nutritional food, and food that’s good for exercise. Jane is an expert on paleo, primal and pegan meals, all variations on a theme: essentially eating as naturally as possible, as our ancestors would, stripping out anything processed or modern. This means lots of native vegetables, seeds, berries and leaves, with sh and meat. It s what we eat normally, ick explains. “It’s by far the best way to live, in my book. When you strip out all the processed foods, you get a balanced release of energy throughout the day, rather than highs and lows. I feel much healthier for this diet. And, what’s more, it’s really tasty! Although the food is stripped back, don’t expect to be sleeping on a mud ﬂoor. t Costislost ouse you will be living in ultimate luxury. The boutique rooms offer four-poster beds, en suite bathrooms, private seating areas.

THE AT -HOME SPA We’ve just looked at some relaxation getaways in breathtaking Cornish locations. But how about a luxury spa that comes directly to you? Afyna means ‘to beautify’ in Cornish, so it’s a particularly apt name for a novel venture making waves across the county. Afyna Spa is an opulent mobile spa that can pop-up within minutes of arrival at any destination from Padstow to Polzeath. This is the brainchild of Sara Young. Having successfully run a chain of spas including the spa at the St Enodoc Hotel, Sara created her own award-winning range of organic skincare products. She also discovered the need for a quality pop-up spa that comes direct to your door. In a short time, it has already proved to be a real a hit with her new customers. “It’s a great way for people to enjoy luxury spa treatments without the fuss – perfect for families with young children, who can t nd the time for a trip out to the spa. We bring everything to you And everything means everything, from heated couches to heated towels, for the ultimate in indulgence. “We can go inside, or pop up the spa in your garden when the weather s good.

If you’re renting a cottage or glamping, that’s no problem either. All you need is a little bit of space, access to water and a power supply. And for a premium service, prices are very reasonable too. If you’re planning a special pamper party or hen do, this will delight. And a growing market is festivals and events. They’ve done Port Eliot Festival, employing six in the team over four days. The focus is very much on luxury, centred on facials and massage, using Afyna’s own award-winning range of products. Afyna’s unique treatments include a detoxifying Cornish seaweed facial. Seaweed handharvested straight from the Cornish coast is combined with other natural ingredients including Cornish clay. If this sounds tempting, you can order them straight after the treatment, with a 10% discount, posted out to you. So if you don’t want to travel to the spa, let it travel to you in the comfort of your home.

Bustophers is bright and airy for drinks and lunch during the day then switches magically to atmospheric, candlelit evening dining. General Manager Gianni shows me around. As well as the chic restaurant; upstairs there is ‘the attic’ a light and open space with seating for up to 30; though it would

be perfect for standing and mingling events an o ce party maybe. It s flooded with natural light during the day and transformed with lanterns in the evening. Or, there’s the panelled, candlelit, basement room with a large, solid wood table seating up to 12; the perfect space for a family reunion over the festive season. Outside there is a sheltered, tranquil garden away from the bustle of town, the perfect suntrap on a summer’s evening and a cosy, heated retreat in the winter. Next Gianni introduces me to the new head chef, Darren Millgate who was Executive Chef at Bedruthan Steps and the Scarlet Hotel. He arrives with some little tasters from the new main menu for me to try. The slow roast pork belly with puy lentils and water cress puree is melt in the mouth delicious, the hogs pudding with lyonnaise onions and roast Jerusalem artichokes completely changes my view of hogs pudding I wasn t a fan before . oth are big in flavours but it is the sea bass poached in coconut broth, chilli pak choi and crispy lotus root that is the best of all – just such terri c flavours without overpowering the sh truly scrumptious I asked arren why ustoper ones It s been really e citing coming here, I am back to what I love most which is cooking.

Charity

A helping hand This month we take a look at the supported living service offered by Cornwall Care.

ornwall Care provides personalised support for people with mental health issues and learning disabilities to help them live in their own homes. Its tailored care packages are for individuals with complex needs, including those with physical health and mobility issues. Supported Living Manager Heather Bamford explains: “Our supported living staff are trained to meet the unique requirements of the people we care for. We build teams of highly skilled support workers and our personalised approach means that we can help out in someone’s home or supported living ﬂat for up to hours a day. Heather continues: “We also maintain good working relationships with other health professionals and any social support agencies that are involved in someone’s care. This ensures we can provide a complete overview of all their needs. Cornwall Care helps with people with a variety of conditions, including (but not limited to) schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bi-polar mood disorder, anxiety, and aggressive, challenging and high-risk behaviours. The team also helps with communication di culties, comple dementia and Alzheimer’s, personality

disorder, learning disability and autism. Cornwall Care recruits staff with the skills to suit each individual, providing support for people across the county in a warm and homely environment. Typically, this is in someone’s own home, but Cornwall Care also has supported living ﬂats across Cornwall that are attached to its care homes Heather says: “Our aim is to promote independence and help people to develop the skills they need to live with as little help as possible. We give those with degenerative disorders increasing levels of support in the areas that they nd most challenging. These include everything from budgeting and daily living skills, to management of mental health and learning disability symptoms; from emotional support and support to integrate in to the community, to engaging in activities and groups, attending college, and developing skills in socialisation.

GET A FREE PATH OR PATIO OR WE WILL PAY YOUR VAT WHEN YOU PURCHASE A RESIN DRIVE WHY SHOULD YOU INSTALL A RESIN DRIVE?

Thats simple; our product naturally drains water through the ﬁnished surface which means no more puddles. It is also resistant to frost attack, hence giving it all round better traction for tyres and making it better for walking on.

“It’s lovely to walk on, has a long lasting durable ﬁnish and is available in an amazing range of colours… It has a more domestic relaxed look than tarmac”
