Hotel Review: Hotel Tresanton, Cornwall

Situated in the coastal village of St Mawes on the Roseland Peninsula, with remarkable views across Falmouth Bay, Tresanton provides the ideal spot to explore the endless miles of South Cornish coast. Browse the boutiques, galleries and cafes in the village centre, or take one of the passenger ferries from the harbour to Falmouth, Truro, or St Anthony's Head.

By car: The hotel is around 5 hours 30 mins from London, or 3 hours 30 mins from Bristol.

By train: Truro station is a half-hour drive from the hotel, with services from London Paddington taking around 4 hours 30 minutes. Book trains to Truro.

After two years of painstaking re-design, Tresanton now stands as a reflection of Olga Polizzi's style, creating an entirely original coastal retreat that is pared-back and furnished with antiques and Cornish art, including Barbara Hepworth. The finished ensemble is a welcoming haven with an eclectic mix of contemporary furnishings, making it perfect for art-lovers and boutique hotel enthusiasts.

Cosiness is perfectly underpinned by a professional service from friendly waiters, whether you're dining al fresco on the sea-facing terraces, relaxing on a sun lounger at the Beach Club or snug by the open fires in the sitting room. Tresanton also boasts a function room/cinema, sub-tropical gardens and a Dog's Bar.
