"I’ve organised a birthday surprise. We’re going somewhere that does great food but is also dog-friendly. Like, ACTUALLY, dog friendly." Words that might sound strange and a bit crazy to anyone else, but to me they are the stuff of...

Our lunch at the Hotel Tresanton was just one of an abundance of food-focused things we did in our time down in St Mawes. For other things to do if you're planning a visit, check out my round-up of great things for foodies on the Roseland...
