Tempting teas

With its gorgeous Laura Ashley The Tea Room, The Cornwall Hotel, Spa and Estate is the perfect place to unwind.

Set within rolling countryside, The Cornwall Hotel, Spa and Estate is located just outside the coastal town of St Austell. With a beautiful main building and a selection of stunning self-catering lodges, you can choose between the ultimate indulgence of a hotel room or a space to call your own.

You can’t help but feel elegant and sophisticated…”

In May this year the hotel launched the first and only Laura Ashley The Tea Room in Cornwall, and it’s safe to say it’s been a resounding success. The tea room is beautifully designed with Laura Ashley fabrics and wallpaper and is light, open and spacious. You can’t help but feel elegant and sophisticated, and if you want to indulge in the ultimate sophistication we recommend delving into the culinary delights of the Laura Ashley Afternoon Tea.

Plus, from now until 23rd December the tea room will be providing a special offer where two people can enjoy a luxurious afternoon tea for just £40. During the festive season, these afternoon teas make a great alternative to the typical party nights and will feature a festive twist on the selections of sandwiches and sweet treats.

Then, after your delicious afternoon tea, why not head to The Clearing Spa for a rejuvenating spa treatment? Set to the backdrop of 43 acres of natural parkland in St Austell there are a range of treatments available as well as use of the heated infinity pool with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

Not to mention the aroma steam room which uses blended essential oils to promote mood and health, a dry sauna, drench showers, a relaxation room and
a fitness suite.

It’s a special time of year at The Cornwall Hotel, Spa and Estate. Take crisp morning walks in the grounds, discovering frosted cobwebs and ice crystals as you go, then head inside and cosy-up by the fire in the bar with your favourite beverage to hand.

If this sounds like your idea of bliss then make sure to escape to The Cornwall Hotel, Spa and Estate and enjoy everything it has to offer, from the lush grounds to the tearoom and the indulgent spa.
