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

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...

It’s a nice atmosphere with plenty of room, lots of different walls and courses to try. The changing and showering facilities are quite small though, so be prepared to have to wait, but don’t worry there is a cafe with Coffee, hot and cold food available.  Non member costs are £15.00 per session which has no time limit for that day (opening and closing hours apply),  £3.50 for climbing boot rental  Training and coaching sessions are available for booking.  There is a waiver to sign befo...
