Blissful breaks await

at The Bay hotel

KEEP IN THE LOOP AT WWW.CORNWALL-LIVING.CO.UK

The freedom to relax

Overlooking the white sandy beach and sparkling waters of the quintessentially Cornish ﬁshing illage of Co erac , he ay hotel is perfectly positioned for those seeking the ultimate blend of sun, sea, sand, and serenity.

Polurrian on the Lizard offers guests the space to immerse themselves in a picture perfect location, with the Atlantic as a backdrop. Escape the city, breathe the invigorating sea air and watch a beautiful Cornish sunset and you won’t fail to feel your shoulders drop and your cares slip away during your stay here. Located on the stunning Lizard peninsula, the hotel is surrounded by 12 acres of mature Cornish gardens, and boasts its own beach, Polurrian Cove, just a ten-minute stroll away. Choose from one of the 41 comfortable and contemporary rooms, many with sea views, or a self-catering villa perfect for those looking for their own space but who also wish to enjoy all the hotel facilities. The hotel’s leisure club

offers indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a tennis court and gym and, for the ultimate in relaxation, guests can book a pampering Elemis treatment at the spa.

Be it stand-up paddleboarding in the calm waters of the bay, or exploring the South West Coast Path with your furry friend in tow, the dog-friendly Bay hotel is the perfect base from which to enjoy a Lizard break. Other activities include aya ing and windsurfing, with tuition a ailable from the windsurfing centre at the harbour, and you can even arrange sailing, di ing and fishing trips.

Your stay at Polurrian on the Lizard can be as laid back or as action packed as you wish. Looking for something new to try? We recommend booking a session with Lizard Adventure who offer escorted activities or, if you’ e always fancied a go at surﬁng, Dan Joel’s Surf School runs from nearby Poldhu Beach. For guests who wish to explore the hidden coves and winding coastal paths at their own pace, the South West Coast Path is at the bottom of the hotel garden – why not ask the hotel to put a picnic together for you to enjoy on your next Cornish adventure?

However you choose to spend your time, when you return to the hotel, you’ll ﬁnd that the menu at The Bay’s modern restaurant is just the ticket for sating that sea-air appetite; drawing on the most ethically sourced and seasonal Cornish produce, with an organic selection of wines to match, there’s really no better way to round off the day.

New charity stores in Newquay

Stay in subtropical splendour

and Truro

Offering the largest charity shop chain in the county, Cornwall Hospice Care relies heavily on income from its stores to fund the care provided at its two Cornish hospices. Now the healthcare charity has opened new outlets in Moresk Road, Truro and Bank Street, Newquay. “Our shops have been closed for seven of the last twelve months,” explains Frazer Hopkins, Head of Retail at the charity. “That represents a huge loss of income and though our hospices at Mount Edgcumbe in St Austell and St Julia’s in Hayle, have remained open 24/7 we really need to start trading with determination.” “Newquay is a 21st century take on a traditional charity shop,” explains Frazer, “offering pre-loved clothing, books and bric-a-brac in a spacious store where customers can shop safely and at a distance to others. “At Truro, our new site is huge, having formally been a car showroom. Here we’ll be selling pre-loved furniture and providing a Donation Station to which people can bring their items.” For more information visit www.cornwallhospicecare.co.uk/ shop-cornwall/covid-19-latest-shop-news

Who needs to travel abroad when you can stay in an elegant and sophisticated bolthole, surrounded by 8.5 acres of subtropical gardens, stunning blooms and with its own private beach? The beautiful Hotel Meudon has just reopened under new ownership, and after an extensive stylish refurbishment across the whole hotel. With it doors open, the team are ready to welcome you to this picturesque area of Cornwall, which is hidden along a quiet country lane in Mawnan Smith between Falmouth and the Helford River. Here you can unwind in style and elegance; there are 29 bedrooms, with either sea or garden views, along with the delightful Meudon Cottage. This self-catering property has its own private garden with the beneﬁt of access to all of the hotel’s facilities, including the restaurant and bar. Food is at the very heart of Meudon, with fresh ingredients foraged, ﬁshed and farmed from Cornwall’s bountiful larder. The newly created menus, with a nod to nou elle cuisine further re ecting the

hotel’s heritage, feature dishes that celebrate locally sourced ingredients and are complemented by fresh herbs, fruit and vegetables grown in the hotel’s gardens. Bream Cove is the hotel’s beautiful private beach, and is perfect for wild swimming, snorkelling and paddleboarding. Further aﬁeld, you can e plore the outh West Coast Path or maybe take a boat trip on the Helford River. Once your explorations are ﬁnished, the remainder of the day can be spent relaxing in the hotel garden or enjoying a tranquil beauty treatment, followed by afternoon tea on the terrace or a sundowner cocktail from the new bar.

News & views Sustainable solutions

from Scribe

At Cornish carpentry specialist, Scribe, the team believe that modern methods of construction have become quite unsustainable, despite national efforts, with long supply chains negatively impacting our environment. “We feel that a return to the use of locally sourced, recyclable, reclaimable and biodegradable building materials can make a positive impact on our ecosystem and economy here in Cornwall,” explains Managing Director, Michael Truscott. So what can you do? If you’re mindful of your impact on the environment and are undertaking a home improvement or self-build project, why not consider timber cladding? “Timber is completely carbon negative,” says Michael, “as it sequesters more carbon during its growth than it requires to be felled, processed and installed, and more trees are planted to keep up with demand. High impact sustainable choices can be made during construction, and at Scribe, we help customers to make the best choices with these considerations in mind.” For more information call 01326 531686 or visit www.scribe-sw.co.uk

Tea like royalty at

The Falmouth Hotel

Enjoy a traditional Cornish afternoon tea at the historic Falmouth Hotel, situated in prime position overlooking castle beach. Indeed, you will be in good company alongside some of the greats, including Beatrix Potter, Simon Le Bon, prime ministers and even royalty. It is for good reason that this iconic and history stay is known fondly as the ‘Grand Dame’ of Falmouth! With that in mind, it comes as no surprise that the team take great care in serving up one of England’s all-time favourite culinary traditions. On your visit, you can expect warm, freshly baked, crumbling scones, served alongside locally made preserves and lashings of Cornish Rodda’s clotted

cream, as well as a selection of traditional sandwiches and homemade cakes and pastries, all accompanied by a traditional pot of tea or coffee. Fresh, local and homemade produce make this a truly gastronomical delight. The idyllic setting and stunning Victorian architecture make it one of the most iconic hotels in the county. If the sun is shining, enjoy your tea on the manicured lawns with the famous Pendennis Castle perched on the headland, or sample one of the many dining areas, all with far-reaching views and a historical ambience.

Lead Architect Antonio Sánchez, explains that it is “our personal and friendly approach that has become something of a selling point to our clients.” Working with both private self-builders that wish to build their own extension or new build, and developers looking for a full technical design for their projects, a collaborative approach has proved to be hugely successful. Covering all elements of the process including concept designs, planning applications and building control, and with an ever-expanding portfolio of residential clients, it is evident that the team’s passion for good design is what is helping this Newquay-based studio to grow.

MAIN Days of adventure are well spent with Cornish Rock Tors

think we can all agree that after a year of lockdowns and restrictions on our daily lives, as we look forward to a not-sodistant future when things might return to normal, nothing sounds quite as inviting as time spent out in Cornwall’s great outdoors. Indeed, from walking our favourite stretch of the outh West Coast ath to surfing, from wakeboarding to freefalling, what better to way awaken our senses? Outdoor adventures provide us with a wide range of physical and mental benefits, too. Outdoor physical activity boosts our endorphins and helps to reduce stress, anxiety and depression, whilst, at the same time, increasing our self-esteem and self confidence. With all of that in mind, and to help get you in the spirit of adventure, we break down just a selection of the activities you could be enjoying this summer in Cornwall, and where better to start than 100 metres high, above the biomes of the Eden Project, on England’s longest (and fastest) zipwire? Based on the Eden site, Hangloose Adventure (hanglooseadventure.com) offers thrill seekers no fewer than six ways in which to get the blood pumping. Take the aforementioned Skywire (be that forwards or backwards!), or test your balance with the Skytrek high-rope course. Alternatively, you can experience a

breathtaking freefall with Gravity, or have a go on Big Air which is, really, exactly what it says on the tin. You can even experience a 33-foot fall on ‘The Drop’, but be warned – it’s not for the fainthearted. With extensive Covid-19 measures in place, Hangloose Adventure offers visitors a safe, fun, and truly memorable day out – the kind we could all use after the year we’ve been through! From one extreme to the other, if you’d rather remain close to ground level, exploring Cornwall on two wheels is another great way to enjoy our county’s great outdoors. The Camel Trail near Padstow and Wadebridge is the obvious place to start, offering a family friendly cycle alongside the Camel Estuary, with delicious foodie options at either end. Lesser known trails include the ‘Coast to Coast’ trail – running, as you might expect, from the north to the south coast, starting at Portreath to the north and ﬁnishing at e oran to the south. he main trail runs for 11 miles, through Scorrier Woods, the Poldice Valley and alongside the stunning Restronguet Creek, making it a superb choice for those hoping to soak up the best of Cornwall’s coast and countryside. The trail is almost entirely purpose-made for cyclists, but does include some country lanes. Another popular choice and one which you’ll also ﬁnd on the Cornwall rails website (cornwalltrails.net) is the Great Flat Lode. This circular route of around seven miles includes some challenging terrain, but it does take you through some of Cornwall’s most iconic ‘mining country’. Named after a two-mile long ‘lode’ of tin ore that was discovered in the area during the 1860s, this trail is perfect for cyclists who are fascinated by Cornwall’s relatively recent industrial heritage. Passing by the remains of the engine houses, time spent here transports you back to a time when the area would have been abuzz with the sounds of industry.

EXPERIENCE

GEAR UP! If you need to kit yourselves out for an adventure this summer, be sure to head to Helston’s Edge of Adventure. Meeting the demand for good quality sports equipment, at The Edge of Adventure, you’ll find everything you’re likely to need. It could be surf boards and accessories, stand up paddle boards, power kites, wetsuits for the whole family, skateboarding gear, or even just a decent rucksack. Whatever it is, The Edge of Adventure can help, and with a coffee bar in-store, you can grab a delicious, baristaquality brew whilst the team helps you find it.

If you’d prefer to leave the bikes in the garage and instead strike out on foot, then who could blame you? The South West Coast Path (southwestcoastpath.org.uk) has seemingly endless miles of rugged landscapes, awash with life and colour and just waiting to be explored. One of our personal favourites has to be on the Lizard peninsula, from Church Cove to Poldhu. Only a short walk, taking around 20 minutes, this is perfect for kids. In fact, at Poldhu, you can grab an ice cream or decadent hot chocolate (or both) from Poldhu Beach Café. From the National Trust car park at Church Cove, simply follow the path to the beach (look out for the church that gives the cove its name, and the remains of the Iron Age cliff castle above it), before crossing the stream and walking across to the far side. Here you’ll ﬁnd steps leading up the hill follow these to the top, where you’ll be welcomed with the most sensational, panoramic views over the Atlantic. From here, the rest is downhill, and if you don’t see the beach café of Poldhu, you’ll almost certainly be drawn by the smells drifting out from the kitchen. Whilst you’re there, why not try your hand at surﬁng han s to an oel urf chool (danjoelsurf.com), kids and adults alike can take a lesson in riding the waves, or alternatively hire boards and get stuck in!

RIGHT Just a few of the properties that have been sold by Rohrs & Rowe

fter more than 100 issues of Cornwall Living, it has always been highly apparent to us that Cornwall is an incredibly entrepreneurial county and is therefore home to many inspiring brands and hard-working businesses. As a case in point, we need only look to a company we have followed with interest since its inception, Rohrs and Rowe Property Agents. The company is owned by its experienced Directors, Martyn Rohrs and Matthew Rowe, who have recently announced that they have been named ‘The Best Estate Agency in Cornwall’ for the third time, by the highly prestigious International Property Awards. Their drive to offer something new, particularly in terms of marketing and service has clearly set them apart in the world of Cornish real estate. What’s really impressive about their latest award is, as Martyn explains: “These awards look at pretty much every element of what a good estate agency offers and so for this to have come in a year that, for so many reasons, has been like no other before, it is all the more special to us! We see it as recognition of the hard work and dedication that our excellent team have put in during an e tremely difficult year. The International Property Awards focus on quality of service to clients, innovative marketing, design and originality. Each sector is scored by a group of over 80 independent industry expert judges, as well as feedback from clients of the company, and Rohrs and ohrs were duly awarded the highest fi e star levels overall. Matthew comments: "When it comes to selling prime property, the first thing most people will look at are an estate agent’s marketing capabilities, as this is a hugely important factor, but we also know from our 40 plus years’ experience, that it is your service, professionalism and sales results that help you stand out from the crowd. Come the end, these are what make a client’s experience highly satisfactory and memorable. “Our service begins long before the property is launched; we assess each property individually and then form a strategy of how to best market its most saleable assets, whether

that’s a focus on the location, its interior, exterior, or views. Each property is unique and therefore deserves a tailored approach. “We often say that an acceptance of an offer is just the start of our service; our years of experience help guide sales right through to completion. We are in constant communication with both sides, identifying any possible issues and tackling them before they manifest into something that could eopardise the sale. Martyn builds on this, explaining: “We have found our approach to be extremely effective. We have had great success in selling properties that have been on the market previously and have not found a buyer. We assess why this is, comprise a new strategy and implement it from the start, always communicating with our client throughout. “We like to think of ourselves as a boutique agency – we carefully restrict the number of properties we have at any given time to ensure that we can personally provide the best service to our clients. Indeed, as atthew rightly explains, it is one thing to promise service to lots of clients, but quite another to deliver on it! “Whilst the trophy properties we sell are the ones that grab headlines, the largest rise in demand we have experienced is for properties in the £500,000 to £900,000 region, re eals artyn. ou only ha e to look at the number of television programmes featuring Cornwall at the moment to see how popular the county is, he concludes. “We expect that this demand for Cornwall will continue in 2021– we have had a record number of great, motivated buyers contacting us e pressing their desire to find a Cornish property to fulfil their lifestyle aspirations. Rohrs and Rowe are in need of more properties across Cornwall to satisfy this continuous demand and so if you’re looking to sell your Cornish property but have yet to find the right agent, why not gi e artyn and Matthew a call to see how they could help?

Sleeping arrangements are across both parts of the house with three bedrooms (sleeping six) in one part and two (sleeping four) in the other. Both parts are amply serviced with

bathrooms (some en-suite) and storage, and the kitchen and dining facilities are easy to access from both sides, making this an ideal property for two families to share.

In particular, Carin is drawn to unexpected combinations of stones and works with gems’ in the widest sense. ne e ample is combining a humble pebble from my local Cornish beach, with a precious sapphire or diamond. he sets the stones in slee and recycled sterling silver, using simple shapes to complement and showcase the gems.

The metal is then given rock inspired textures by means of fusing, producing interesting patterns in the silver, which are emphasised using patina and brushed matte ﬁnishes. At the very core of Carin’s work is a passion for making bespoke pieces that are both wearable and accessible, whilst still being pieces of art. uality materials are fundamental to her work, as is the best craftsmanship and a meticulous attention to detail, and the results are always stunning. In fact, Carin’s work has been described as candina ian meets Cornish’, than s to its natural elegance and organic simplicity. Carin welcomes commissions, so if you’re looking to really treat a loved one with something truly unique, something that they’ll treasure each and every time they put it on, why not gi e her a call and ﬁnd out more?

NURTURE BY NATURE

Over the course of the pandemic, not only has Kernow Adventure Park’s Aquapark expanded, so too have its outdoor facilities.

espite the challenges of the Coronavirus pandemic, Kernow Adventure Park have nevertheless adapted. Working hard over the winter season, the team have been busy laying turf, concreting, and prepping for the season ahead, creating new outdoor areas for spectators, and picnic spots for participants to enjoy after their session. They have also increased the size of the Aquapark, which is now bigger and better than ever before! Putting risks into consideration, Alex and co have now built a beach-like effect for customers to walk in and out of the water, instead of using a dock. This is for the customers who aren’t as conﬁdent to ump in, allowing them to get used to the temperature of the water. “Our approach to outdoor adventure has changed,” explains Alex, “we love to see people of all ages and abilities, enjoying all that we have to offer at the adventure park. We have adapted and grown to make a fully accessible and nurturing adventure environment. We want you to feel reconnected with nature and awaken your adventurous side.” The beautiful surroundings of the quarry, the feeling of being cocooned and sheltered by the vast granite walls, the tranquil and calm waters and the plethora of birds to listen to makes it an almost impossible place to leave, for your next adventure in Kernow. “Our mission has been to create an enjoyable and safe space. With the help of my incredible team and managers, Izzy and Will, we nurture the timid and encourage the

brave. Here at Kernow Adventure Park we have adapted to this different lifestyle, and have created new rules and restrictions for people to still enjoy themselves. We’ve put in place a rule of six on the Aquapark, and made sure everyone is sticking to social distancing measures. With these new rules,” says Alex, “our customers have felt safe, but also enjoy themselves!” Activities here can be enjoyed from the age of six. These include paddle boarding, jumping into the water off the Aquapark, riding the wakeboard across the quarry or feeling the adrenaline on the Ringo. And for those wanting something a little more relaxing, the team is excited to be re-introducing Open Water Swimming and coaching sessions this year. At Kernow Adventure park, the team works hard to make sure customers understand the rules, so everyone can enjoy the activities. On arrival, you feel welcomed and relaxed, due in part to the beautiful landscape, but also the approachability of the team. And when the day comes to an end, Alex explains: “Customers always leave with a smile on their face.” Along with his team, Alex is looking forward to seeing you at the park, getting you in the water and hearing your laughter bouncing of the walls of this idyllic hideaway, in the heart of Cornwall.
