I had a fab 3 hour painting experience with Jeanni on Mawgan Porth beach. Jeanni is a truly inspirational teacher who is so willing to share her wealth of knowledge so generously. Her unique, fun teaching style made painting look so simple and doable even for a complete novice like me. She has inspired me to explore painting further and I'm looking forward to our next class. Thank you Jeanni! If you are in the area do book a class with her!

Love love this beach ... The facilities are fab.The Life Guards are highly trained & observant ..We are generally here most weekends .And while Covid has played havoc this season in Cornwall & UK .. Procedures are mainly respected with a one way system in place for restaurants /toilets ... Although it is a dog friendly beach.You wouldn’t know it the owners are in a huge majority of cases respectful
7. Watergate Bay

I have been visiting Watergate Bay for 25 years. It’s a glorious beach, with miles to explore, great waves for surfing or body boarding, attentive and helpful lifeguards, a shop, a cafe, a restaurant and three good car parks. I would recommend the car park on the cliff top, which is reasonably priced and it’s not really a long walk, I did it daily with a rucksack and longboard. I can think of nowhere else I would rather be ❤️

My husband and I celebrated his birthday with a Sunday Night Spa... as always, the hotel and overall experience was blissful! Seamless check in, beautiful sea view room, lovely lunch, relaxing treatments (thank you Sue & Sophie), fantastic evening meal and brilliant breakfast! One of the hotel's greatest assets though is its staff, always polite and helpful etc. All great but Amy Peachey in the restaurant was stand out. We keep meaning to try somewhere else but this place keeps luring us back!!! Thank you!

Wow!!! We decided to elope during lockdown and my husband (!) found Lusty Glaze and booked for 26th August. I had been there once to zip-wire across the beach (never inside) a number of years ago and he had never been. He arranged everything via e-mail as Naomi and the team were working at home - over a period of a few weeks between them they gave us the wedding of our dreams. We popped down unannounced late afternoon the day before (it was raining but that couldn’t mar the beauty of Lusty Glaze) and were both very emotional once we stepped foot into the venue and met the staff. The tears of joy flowed and the staff made us so very welcome and not to feel silly at our reaction! We were encouraged to have a good look around, made a drink (and friends too by the time we left!). The next day, we arrived (full sunshine), met Naomi and Lisa, the wedding team, who were happy to be our witnesses (and impromptu bridesmaids) who duly did everything we needed, from sorting tissues (more tears of joy!), fixing Stu’s buttonhole on, sorting the music.... one of them even cried while witnessing our ceremony! :). Our truly beautiful flowers had been delivered earlier by Rachel at Blossom & Kelp and looked after by the team. We were taken onto the beach after, with a blanket to sit on and bubbles to drink. Debs Alexander, our amazing photographer was also there but so discreet and caring it was as if we were on our own. After an hour or two as the sun was setting we went into the restaurant where Topher, Liv and Diana (along with the incredible chef whose name we can’t remember) looked after us for the evening. The food was absolutely awesome and nothing at all that we coud ever have imagined. The service was totally above and beyond anything we could have hoped for and we feel we could arrive back at anytime in the future and be treated like returning friends. Thank you Lusty Glaze, a piece of the most beautiful paradise with the friendliest yet most professional team of staff ever! Wendy & Stu xxx Ps

Excellent massage and time in the pool and relaxation lounge. Very professional massage by Libby. I think that I was the only person in the whole spa as I had the relaxation lounge, pool area and locker room to myself.
