Cornwall - Falmouth Travel Review (November 2021)

Travel review for Grazia UK

COASTAL ESCAPE
ST MICHAEL’S, FALMOUTH

Cornwall is not just for the summer – even when it’s chilly it’s still beautiful and the perfect place to clear your mind. Stay in one of St Michael’s new apartments, The Liner, and you have your own super-stylish private holiday home right on the beach, with breathtaking views of the ever-changing seascape through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Plus you get to enjoy the resort’s facilities, from the tennis courts to the luxury spa complete with outdoor hot tub (don’t forget a glass of Laurent-Perrier) and Elemis custom massages. Watch the sunset from your balcony, drink in hand, before dining at the Brasserie on the Bay restaurant – make sure you have the pecan pie and pair it with a glass of the Deen Vat 5 Botrytis Semillon dessert wine.

WHAT TO DO

Shop on Falmouth’s high street with its array of independent shops, take a boat trip, walk the coastal path, visit The Lost Gardens of Heligan. If you’re taking the train back from Falmouth to London (via Truro), The Pullman Dining service – a fine-dining three-course meal with wine and table service starting at Plymouth – makes the perfect end to your stay (gwr.com).
