Mark and I spend most of the winter months exploring Cornwall and walking the coastal path, visiting our
favourite places and still discovering new ones, especially the little villages and hamlets hidden away in
the most beautiful of places, and of course eating at all our favourite restaurants and trying out all the new
ones, also guests recommendations from the summer are tried and tested.
