UrlaubCornwall has uncovered a Cornish hotel hideaway offering unrivalled peace and tranquillity. It offers stylish comfort, sea views and award winning food in a unique island location. It’s the ultimate seaside holiday destination for families with children or those looking for something special in 2012.

Located on Cornwall’s hidden jewels, the Isles of Scilly, Hell Bay Hotel provides a perfect holiday retreat in an untouched Cornish paradise on the island of Bryher – 28 miles off the coast of South West England.

Hell Bay Hotel is set in its own carefully maintained gardens and stylishly decorated using the work of local artists and sculptors with local connections, including original paintings and sculpture by Barbara Hepworth, John Miller, Ivon Hitchens, Julian Trevelyan and Richard Pearce. From the hotel there are incredible views of the ocean and surrounding islands.

The tiny island, which offers a glimpse of Cornwall as it used to be, boasts wonderful unspoiled beaches with crystal clear water, soft sand and hardly another person in sight.

The Isles of Scilly provide a unique larder of ingredients for the restaurant at Hell Bay to call upon. The finest, freshest seafood is caught just off the shore from the Hell Bay Hotel and served to you almost straight away. Bryher is famous for its crab and lobster served with locally grown farm vegetables, creating a truly Scilly food experience.

If relaxing by the heated pool isn’t active enough for you, there is definitely plenty to do on Bryher. The Hotel can organise kayaking, jet boat trips to discover the seals and puffins, or point you towards the rocky coves that are ready to explore all around the island.

Daily boat trips from Bryher let you explore all the other islands. Whether you want to visit the seaside pubs of St Mary’s, or the white sands of Great Bay on St Martin’s, there is plenty for everyone to see and do.

The world famous tropical Abbey Gardens on neighbouring Tresco are a very short boat ride away. You won’t believe you’re still in Britain!

The Star Castle is a unique hotel in a 16th Century castle built in the shape of an 8 pointed star on the unspoilt Isles of Scilly is the perfect location for dream holiday in Cornwall, Southern England’s most popular holiday destination in 2012.

Bedrooms in the castle are elegantly appointed in a Cornish seaside style, but retain the original charm and history of this unique building. Garden rooms and suites are available adjacent to the castle in the grounds, but all are furnished to the same high standard. Many guest rooms and suites have sea or harbour views.

The islands themselves offer a holiday by the sea in Cornwall that you won’t forget. White sand and azure seas mean that the Scillies boast many beaches that feature in the top 10 beaches, not just in Cornwall, but Great Britain as a whole. This hotel on the Isles of Scilly really is also perfect for a family holiday with children; family suites offer all the flexibility that a family wants.

The Star Castle, with head chef Gareth Stafford, runs a superb kitchen, rising early every morning to make the freshly baked bread. Everything in his kitchen is made from fresh ingredients sourced locally and from Cornwall, with vegetables, herbs and salads grown in the recently extended kitchen garden. Hotel owner, Robert Francis, also an early riser, takes his fishing boat out most days to catch the lobsters and crabs that are served in the Conservatory seafood restaurant.

The Star Castle is steeped in history – in 1643 it sheltered the Prince of Wales, it was the last stronghold of the Cavaliers and it was opened as an hotel in 1933 by the then Prince of Wales, later to become King Edward VIII. The dining room was the original officer’s messroom and the cosy bar was once the dungeon, in which some of the country’s most notorious prisoners were incarcerated.
Today, it is a superb hotel, run by the Francis family and offering the perfect place to stay to explore the islands.

In his 2 Michelin star fish and seafood restaurant at the stylish St Enodoc Hotel in Rock Nathan Outlaw has built a reputation as probably the best head chef in Cornwall. In fact, he has the accolade of having the only restaurant specialising in fish and seafood with 2 stars not just in Cornwall, but in the world. Showcasing local produce in both a fine dining restaurant and his family friendly seafood bar and grill.

UrlaubCornwall: What first brought you to Cornwall?

Nathan Outlaw: I used to live London, but had enough of the city and I always had a big interest in seafood. At the time Rick Stein in Padstow had the best seafood restaurant in the country so it made sense to work at the best place and work with the best, so that’s what’s first attracted me to move here.

I had spent a lot of time down here as a kid on holiday so I think there was always something in me that wanted to return here. Life is a bit calmer down here than it is in the city.

UrlaubCornwall: So I guess you’re enjoying life in Cornwall?

Yeah, I would never move away from here now. My wife is from Padstow, all my children have been born in Cornwall and so this is home now.

UrlaubCornwall: How did you get involved with the St Enodoc Hotel?

Nathan Outlaw: I used to have a restaurant in Rock before and the owner of the hotel would come down for lunch and dinner with his family, so I got to know him. Then in 2009 he asked if I’d like to take over the restaurant here, and bring what I do into the hotel.

But instead of doing a purely fine dining restaurant, we decided to open a seafood bar and grill as well, which is a much more family style restaurant. This made sure I was able to do all the hotel stuff as well, like breakfast, afternoon tea etc.

UrlaubCornwall: Has it been successful?

Nathan Outlaw: The seafood and grill has been growing through reputation. It’s got loads on offer; the best meat and the best fish we can find locally. It’s either pan fried or cooked over the grill and then you choose the sauce and the garnish you want to have with it. So you can really create your own dish.

But the fine dining restaurant is my labour of love, it’s what I really enjoy doing. Its offers a seafood 6 course taster menu which myself and one other chef cook for only 20 people so we can make sure everyone gets the 100% best experience. And it’s going really well. Last year Michelin gave us 2 stars which was such a boost for us here. Now we are working hard to see if we can get up heights of 3 stars in the future.

UrlaubCornwall: 2 Michelin stars is already an incredible achievement.

Nathan Outlaw: Yeah that’s right, we are actually the only 2 star entirely seafood restaurant in the world.

UrlaubCornwall: Do you have favourite dish?

Nathan Outlaw: We don’t have signature dishes here. They sort of show that you are content with what you’ve already achieved. Our only signature really is that we buy everything from boats from the responsible fishing scheme which makes sure we get the best fish, sustainably. We cook in a style here, unlike anywhere else I think, where we keep everything as simply as we can to do justice to the ingredients.

UrlaubCornwall: What is you favourite ingredient then?

Nathan Outlaw: My favourite fish is mackerel. That’s the one I enjoy cooking and eating the most. And my favourite style of cooking is on the chargrill or barbeque. It allows me to get a nice crispy skin on the fish, which is really the best way to cook a lot of fish.

UrlaubCornwall: Cornwall must be a great place to get the best ingredients.

Nathan Outlaw: Absolutely. We work very hard to get the best ingredients. It’s probably the hardest thing to do, even more than the cooking. There’s plenty of great produce in Cornwall, but the search for more goes on. If you stick to the larder of the South West, you don’t need to go anywhere else.

UrlaubCornwall: There seems to be a community of great chefs in Cornwall now, why do you think that is?

Nathan Outlaw: I think it’s amongst chefs across the whole country. In my early days, I think everyone was a bit more secretive. No one would give each other recipes, tips or advice. But now we’ve taken on the style of Spain, and Scandinavia where they are a lot more open with their food. And now you can walk into the kitchen of any top chef and talk about recipes or anything. That’s being led by the generation of young chefs. It can only be a good thing. The more you share, the more you learn, and things get better for the customers.

UrlaubCornwall: So what’s the next challenge then? Is it just the 3^rd Michelin star?

Nathan Outlaw: We’ve never really chased accolades. We weren’t prepared at all when we got the 2 stars. People always ask if I’m worried about losing my stars, but I think you’d go mad if you did worry.

But there’s no reason to say we can’t achieve 3 stars. The most important thing is that we enjoy the cooking, and we enjoy giving the customers the best experience. There’s nothing better than the praise of someone who’s been looking forward to their meal for ages, saving up their pennies, and then they love it.

For example we had a guy in last night, who came in for his 50^th birthday, and he’ll remember it forever. He said it was the best meal he’s ever had. So when you think about things like that, that’s the most important thing.

The festival takes place over 5 days in St Mawes on The Roseland Peninsula, on Cornwall’s southern coast, where classic car enthusiasts can choose to stay at the Olga Polizzi’s stylish Hotel Tresanton and indulge in a festival programme suitable for both the petrol heads amongst you as well as their partners (the ladies whom might choose to visit one of Cornwall’s finest Spring Gardens).

Cars of any age are welcome to this exciting new festival now in its second year.

The cars will go off on daily excursions. One day over to St Ives and the land of Leach Pottery and the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture and garden museum and then a great drive along the coast to one of Cornwall’s finest gastro pub “The Gurnard’s Head” for lunch.  Another day a trip to Tregrehan, a beautiful garden and the scene of Cornwall’s annual Hill Climb, there will be a chance to drive the course and there may even be a stop watch on hand!  Lunch afterwards will be at “Sam’s” a great fish restaurant in an old converted lifeboat station on the beach.

The final day there will be a chance to visit another art gallery and garden and then in the afternoon a Concours d’Elegance on the quay in St Mawes.  Cars from around the county will join the festival cars to be judged and prizes awarded.

A James Bond themed gala night at The Hotel Tresanton, complete with fun casino and a few surprises will round off the festival in great style: a perfect end to a unique driving holiday in Cornwall.

UrlaubCornwall visited the St Enodoc in Rock to get a taste of a modern seaside holiday hotel by the beach in Cornwall.

The hotel  situated in Rock on the Camel Estuary, with beautiful views across to Padstow, is a fashionable place that in the summer becomes a mecca for sailing and water sports enthusiasts. St Enodoc Hotel is very much a destination hotel, with a team of well trained staff, facilities and activities for adults and children alike within easy reach. Adjacent to the hotel is the St Enodoc golf course, acknowledged as probably the best course in Cornwall; with tee times, clubs and buggies all arranged by the hotel for your convenience.

When you enter the lobby and lounge area you immediately welcomed with a feeling of the light and airy decor, modern artwork evokes Cornwall in the summer. This Cornish style continues in to the immaculate bedrooms with bright and stylish colours with original paintings on the walls; designed to be comfortable and practical many have views across the water.

The hotel’s two restaurants are run by head chef  Nathan Outlaw one of Great Britain’s most well know young chefs with the accolade of being the only 2 Michelin star fish and seafood restaurant in the world. His fine dining restaurant only takes 20 diners and this guarantees a unique and intimate dining experience with dishes that showcase only the best that Cornwall has to offer from land and sea. The Seafood Bar and Grill offer local meat and fish that are simply grilled or pan fried and then you choose the sauce and the garnish you want to have with it……..so you can really create your own dish.

Out of the high season there are offers available so for a Spring or Autumn break you can experience what the St Enodoc Hotel has to offer with 3 nights for the price of 2 (dinner, bed and breakfast).

Bodmin Moor is famous for its landscape, its history and as the source of many of Cornwall’s most important rivers like the Fowey and the Camel. Its highest point is Brown Willy 417m dominating the skyline with its granite outcrops. Largely untamed the Moor is the home to a huge variety of wildlife that roams freely including ponies, deer and otters. Buzzards are often seen soaring on broad wings or perched in the open.Possibly the most visited place on the moor is Jamaica Inn, owing its fame to the novel published in 1936 by author Daphne Du Maurier. Her novel is set in the days when Cornwall was a hot bed for smugglers and tells of rogues and ruffians hiding out in the heart of the moor.

To get a taste of the moor Poldue is the perfect holiday cottage sitting at the foothills of Rough Tor, close to the Camel Trail and the spectacular north Cornish coast. Approached by an unmade lane, the setting is spectacular, with beautiful unspoilt moor land surrounding the house coupled with a home-from-home ambience.

Poldue offers informal accommodation with slate floors warmed by under-floor heating, a well equipped kitchen, a large dining-table and patio doors leading to the enclosed terraced garden; a great vantage spot to enjoy the views.

The sitting-room has squashy sofas flanking the wood-burner and the sun-room is a warm and cosy bolthole. Polished wooden stairs lead to the freshly decorated bedrooms and the family bathroom. On the second floor, the master bedroom boasts views over the moor.

The exciting north coast is a short drive, with visits to Polzeath, Port Isaac and Padstow offering a contrast to Bodmin. Poldue is an escape from it all and guests will enjoy the tranquil setting.

Cornwall’s largest brewer was founded in 1851 by Walter Hicks and many of his descendants are still involved in one Great Britain’s largest private brewers. With its famous Tribute beer now available throughout England the company’s reputation has spread much further than Cornwall.

Padstow is a fishing port and popular tourist destination on the north coast of Cornwall, United Kingdom. Now famous as the culinary capital of Cornwall with Rick, Stein, Nathan Outlaw and Paul Ainsworth all having restaurants in the area.
