School Hill, Mevagissey, PL26 6TH

• cornish produce

Trevalsa, is understatedly elegant and stylish, with an eclectic mix of granite windows, oak panelling, rich fabrics and rugs, reflecting the colours of Cornwall. There are paintings by Cornish artists throughout the hotel. A comfortable sitting room with books and games, an intimate bar, an oak panelled restaurant and roaring fires in colder weather. The terrace overlooks the sea for lazy, hot afternoons and balmy evenings.

The Lost Gardens of Heligan are within walking distance and The Eden Project is a short drive away.

Most bedrooms have stunning sea views. Some are stylishly simple, others romantically glamorous. All with immaculate bathrooms, hospitality trays and TVs with DVD players. Children can be happily accommodated with parents in some rooms.

Fabulous food, largely sourced from local farms and Mevagissey harbour. The restaurant welcomes non-residents.
