The best bars in town . . .
With Summer finally here I thought it was time to share some of my favourite places in Newquay to head for a cocktail or two. Newquay has had a hard time in the past with its image as a ‘party town’. Many expect wild stag and hen do’s and beaches taken up with hungover students … Continue reading The best bars in town . . .
Have you heard, beach is the word!
Over the next few months I will be doing more posts on the different attractions and things to do whilst on holiday in our gorgeous town. Trust me, there’s plenty! I’m also currently looking in to both the history of Newquay and the history of Cliff House, which as far as I can see have … Continue reading Have you heard, beach is the word!
I finally got round to making Fudge!
I have been wanting to make fudge for a really long time now. We live in Cornwall and they really do make some of the best fudge so I had to give it a go myself! Since moving down I think I have tried fudge from nearly all of the shops that sell it around … Continue reading I finally got round to making Fudge!
Lemon Crumble Cake
This cake is quickly becoming my new favourite. It’s two of my favourite things combined into one and it’s so delicious. Not only is it so tasty you would be silly not to make it, but it’s also very easy to adapt into so many different flavours. For this recipe I have used a lemon … Continue reading Lemon Crumble Cake

Safu – Restaurant Review
Safu, meaning surf in japenese, is a sushi fusion restaurant that has recently opened up in Newquay and its arrival has been welcomed with open arms. When we moved to Newquay in January I was gutted that Wagamamas had not found its way down here yet. Once we found out about Safu we couldn’t wait … Continue reading Safu – Restaurant Review
Why we buy local
Growing up in the countryside, I have always been aware of the importance of supporting your local farmers, shops and any other business. I think this was first drilled into me by my Mum, but she is right. I really do believe that small businesses are vital to the success of a community. That realisation … Continue reading Why we buy local
A cookie a day keeps the doctor away. . . Right?
I’ll admit it, I love a good cookie! Especially when they are tender but chewy with a slight crisp to the edge. Yum! As one of my favourite cooks, Ina Garten, said: It really is one of my guilty pleasures to get up early, before we have to prepare the guests breakfasts and watch an … Continue reading A cookie a day keeps the doctor away. . . Right?
Introducing Buddy and Ralph
I couldn’t write a blog about life in our Bed and Breakfast without doing a post on our boys, Buddy, who’s 5 (the Labrador) and Ralph, who’s 1 (the cocker). Both of them have settled in pretty quickly to life in a b&b and never turn down the opportunity to be spoilt by guests, or … Continue reading Introducing Buddy and Ralph
Our favourite chocolate brownies
These brownies are kind of awesome. They take no time to throw together and they are so so delicious. The guests love them and they really don’t last long around here. The recipe is so simple and I mainly keep it to just a plain chocolate brownie but feel free to be adventurous. There are … Continue reading Our favourite chocolate brownies
