A Local Escape
FROM LONDON TO CORNWALL WITH LAUREN ROFFLE HEAD OF PR & CELEBRITY AT CARTIER UK
File under: London
Thursday
3:00 PM
En route to Cornwall (which is a long drive), stop at The Pig at Combe to break up the trip and relax in a home grown setting, in every way.
Friday
11:00 PM
“Hit the road again, in our case with a vintage morgan from Bespokes. Warning! Fabulous for Cornwall's winding back roads - not so fabulous for the motorway.”
3:00 PM
Once you've made it to Cornwall, stay at the Artist Residence, if you're looking for a perfectly located stay in Penzance. One of the four @artistresidence, this boutique hotel group was originally founded in Brighton. Co-founder Justin was inspired by the surrounding art scene and offered artists board in exchange for room decoration.
4:00 PM
At the Jubilee Pool
Lido and Cafe
“Once settled in, take a brief walk to the Jubilee Pool. Designed in the early 1930s, the Jubilee is one of the only remaining saltwater tidal pools left in Europe.”
Saturday
11:00 AM
Farm field walk to a hidden beach
“This bar serves coffee, pastries and sandwiches during the day and natural wines, charcuterie boards and cheese in the evening. Stay all night or stop by for pre-dinner drinks.”
Sunday
“Recommended to stay in Cornwall for at least a week, but either way, break up the drive home to London with a stop at the enchanting The Newt In Somerset.”
The end
“Until the next great British Summer!”
