The Well House Hotel

Hidden away along a secluded country lane in a tranquil Cornish valley, this idyllic hotel is just 30 minutes from the Eden Project. Sitting in lovely grounds, it retains its country-house ambience, with modern additions such as all-weather tennis court, swimming pool and croquet lawn. Friendly staff provide attentive yet relaxed service, while the comfortable lounge offers deep-cushioned sofas and an open fire, and there's also an intimate bar for aperitifs. It's quite the perfect venue for a foodie getaway too; the spacious restaurant has a muted modern colour scheme with sculptures and fine art prints, and there are large bay windows offering views to the garden beyond. The cooking is assured and daily-printed menus are intelligently compact and driven by prime produce and seasonality. The well-balanced selection of modern-vogue British dishes are cooked with skill, care and accuracy, and come dotted with interest yet deliver without unnecessary fuss or confusion, showcasing clean, clear flavours and well-judged sauces. Expect main courses like a fillet of Cornish beef served with celeriac and white truffle purée, caramelised onion and a white port sauce, while a chocolate brownie with honeycomb ice cream and chocolate sauce makes a fitting finale.
