🍽️ Yes you CAN eat out as a large group in Cornwall!

If you’re thinking about how you can all eat together on your big Cornish escape this year, we understand it can be a challenge. But, there are plenty of places that are delighted to welcome parties (we just suggest booking well in advance).

One of our favourite spots for group dining is in our local town, St Ives. The Loft Restaurant and Terrace in the old artists’ quarter serves incredible local produce. Their undercover sun terrace is great for large parties, and four-pawed diners are welcome too.

♥️ Romantic windswept walks across the sand, mesmerising sunsets and a Shepherd’s Hut made for two…

Portheras Cove in west Cornwall is one of our favourite spots. With classic Cornish azure waters and white shores, backed by steep cliffs, it’s reached via a cliff path from Pendeen.

Park at the car park near Pendeen Lighthouse, and aim to be back up there in time to catch the sunset. It’s one of the best spots in Cornwall to watch the sun go down. 🧡 During winter, it seems like you have the whole place to yourself!

Tempted? Take a look at The Shepherd’s Hut in nearby Morvah. It’s the perfect Valentine’s escape for two and your furry friend.
