Fifteen Cornwall

You really have to hand it to Jamie Oliver, he does the business, even if involving himself in controversy does bring him some criticism. Since most of us can guess what he would say to that let's proceed brusquely to the business in hand, which is his latest effort to combine several interests under one banner, often with disadvantaged young people at the core.

Gurnard's Head, The

The team that brought us The Felin Fach Griffin, that increasingly popular haven of laid back excellence in the Brecons, have mounted a similar operation, this time in West Cornwall; take one famous old inn, mix with the special atmosphere of a dramatic Atlantic coastline only 500 yards away, add dashes of local ingredients and you have the basis for success.

This delightful hotel and restaurant is refreshing in more ways than one. What they are pleased to call the "why not" factor operates, which is their point of view, would translate for me as a place that is run in the first instance for the visitors.
