Albrighton Hall Hotel and Spa  Albrighton Hall Hotel and Spa is located in Shrewsbury in Shropshire, we visited as part of a spa day /  night away deal including dinner and breakfast. My wife and I found it to be a lovely relaxing and peaceful stay, with good food ( great breakfast ) and excellent cocktails. (the staff had created their own, the Lady Like is a must try)  The tranquil setting, made for a very nice environment, too switch off and enjoy the short break.  Albrighton is a mix of period style furnishings and modern decor depending on which area you are in, we found it very comfy, warm and inviting.  Prices were very reasonable for food and drink.

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.

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. ( just have to pay a little more to upgrade the room) It’s a 10-15 minute walk into St Ives through the lovely garden and grounds. 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...
