Stones Road - Short trip and holiday experiences shared with photo's and genuine thoughts.

         Location, Location, Location   This visit to Cornwall was a business trip, so we chose The Fowey Valley Hotel in Lostwithiel due to its ideal location for us, although Lostwithiel is a small town it’s location is well positioned if you plan on visiting the local scenic quaint harbours and beaches.  The Fowey Valley is a very reasonably priced hotel with good facilities, and comfortable furnishings, the food was very good, both the evening meal and breakfast with a good selection.                              We found the staff very efficient friendly and accommodating. There is plenty of free parking on site, but make sure you remember to register your car at reception to avoid fines.  We visited the following places before we ran out of time. - Looe, 26 minute drive - Polkerris, 15 minute drive ( a lovely place to enjoy a warm evening either in the Rashleigh Arms...

Tregenna Castle and St Ives Work trip - 1 night  It’s been a few years, but it was good to be back staying at Tregenna, enjoying the stunning views, comfy furnishings and good food. Peaceful and relaxing, being out of season. The pool was very warm which is always good. I actually stayed in room 1, out of 130 and I think that it maybe on the more budget end of the accommodation options. Comfy and adequate just a little basic. I do remember the rooms we stayed in previously being more luxurious. Don’t let this put you off though as the rest of the hotel is lovely.

If you arent going to eat at the hotel, I advise booking somewhere in St Ives in advance as its gets very busy and spaces can become limited. Tregenna has a golf course, Spa facilities, indoor and outdoor pool. The walk around the hotel is very nice, scenic and tranquil. Tregenna is around a 3...

The Cornwall Hotel and Spa  ( 1 night business trip )   Lovely hotel, comfy, well furnished with good food. Located in St Austell, near Truro, Cornwall.  The pool is very nice with a good view through  the large windows all along one side, a nice design.  I felt very relaxed and content just being there.  The hotel is secluded enough to give you the out of town feel, without being miles out of the way.  Both the evening meal and breakfast were nice and served in good time, however my hunger kept getting the best of me so I forgot to take photos of the food. 🥴 Popular sites close to Lostwithiel are The Eden project (around 11 minute drive) Restormel Castle (5 minute drive) Tintagel Castle (49 minute drive) and Lanhydrock House and Garden (10 minute drive)  https://www.edenproject.com/ https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/restormel-castle/ https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/tintagel-castle/ https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk...
