‘The Cove’, Above Lamorna Cove, nr Penzance, West Cornwall.
The Cove’s crisp white-washed walls, pale wood floors, elegant sandy coloured furnishings and turquoise accents give it the feel of a sophisticated Greek Island spa retreat and imparts an instant feeling of peace and tranquillity on arrival. This initial impression continues throughout the period building, perched over the pretty Lamorna cove and flanked by tree-covered hills, now home to apartments ranging in size from studios to one and two-bedrooms. Many are akin to luxury penthouse suites with double height ceilings and huge windows affording beautiful views of the pool, sea or tree tops. Furnishings are contemporary yet classic. Few experiences can match that of waking up to views of the sea from the comfort of one of the huge four-poster beds.

Lounging on steamer chairs, enjoying cocktails by the pool or pre-dinner drinks on the terrace with the sea below is reminiscent of being onboard a private luxury liner. Equally glamorous is the stylish restaurant and lounge bar, which has benefited from the input of Michelin-starred chef Ben Tunnicliffe. Guests can also dine on their private terraces and sample the freshly prepared oven-ready meals, or cook in their well-equipped kitchens. Luxurious touches include fluffy bathrobes, plasma TVs, DVD players, broadband internet and CD players. There’s a brilliant range of pre-bookable services including: tickets to the Minack Theatre, helicopter flights, flightseeing tours, chauffeur service, flying lessons, golf, diving, fishing, surfing lessons, bike hire and picnic hampers. Between late November and early January every year The Cove is transformed into an romantic winter wonderland complete with outdoor ice rink, a huge, elegantly decorated Christmas tree and mulled wine served fireside in the cosy lounge bar - its the perfect way to get into the festive spirit!
Lamorna’s natural beauty has inspired many a celebrated artist. Highly recommended is a walk along the stunning 2-mile coastal path to Mousehole. Once there, sample the seafood at the Cornish Range, said to serve the best champagne cocktails outside of London’s Savoy. In summer, see an open-air show at the Minack Theatre’s wonderful setting. A little further afield butworth the trip, is The Abbey Restaurant. Also run by Michelin star winner, Ben Tunnicliffe, and offering a compelling menu focusing on fresh local ingredients.
