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.
The Pig hotels are known for their farm to table food, cosy accommodations and sweeping grounds for long country walks. This Pig is a wonderful historic home - be sure to walk through their impressive gardens.
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
The Nanjizal Beach
“Only accessible by foot, you'll take a beautiful walk through farm fields after you've pulled up. This hidden gem has a fairy book feel.”
“It's BYO-everything for this escape. I was lucky enough to pick up a beautiful straw basket that morning from No. 56 to fill for the day.”
“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.”
“This stunning historic hotel is complete with apple orchard (for in-house cider), pool + spa and most importantly, the most stunning (might I add, at your service) picnic lunch. They say save the best for last and nothing rings truer than @thenewtatsomerset.”
The end
“Until the next great British Summer!”
