Hotel Tresanton, St. Mawes, Cornwall  Monday 4th December -  Friday 8th December 2023

Our Top Tip

Book a beginners' break as a 4 so you can continue playing afterwards

Hotel Tresanton

St Mawes invigorates you with its fresh sea air, warm micro-climate and a clarity of light cherished by visiting artists. This is probably the smartest hotel in Cornwall, not because of formality or grandeur (in fact, quite the opposite), but because of how it makes you feel - wonderful! A former yachting club, the hotel was fashioned from a cluster of old houses in the 1950s, hence its higgledy-piggledy levels. Step forward Olga Polizzi in 1999, and Tresanton was transformed into the Cornish equivalent of a chic and sprawling Greek villa, full of mood-lit nooks and characterful rooms. There are fantastic views throughout the hotel across the sheltered bay to St Anthony’s lighthouse and the rolling hills of the Roseland peninsula.. Click here to see the hotel website.

We came here in March 2018 and had the most fabulous stay. Everything about Tresanton was perfect from the friendly and helpful staff, glorious views, beautifully decorated and comfortable rooms including a great bridge room and the most delicious food. Our favourite UK hotel!

Beginners

We are offering a beginner course alongside our regular bridge course with a 15% discount for any group of 4 beginners (or near-beginners) booking at the same time. The advantage of booking with 3 friends is that you can continue playing together after the holiday has finished either face-to-face or on-line. Depending on numbers, we plan to teach bridge in the lovely Dog's Bar overlooking the sea and close to the main building.

As well as course booklets and face-to-face tuition, beginners can take advantage of free online beginner lessons (through Zeb’s new teaching site) to complement their learning. Click HERE for more details.

Bedrooms

Tresanton has 30 bedrooms spread out over a cluster of five houses on the hillside: the Main House, Upper Tresanton, Lower Tresanton, Nook and Rock Cottage. All but two of the rooms have magnificent sea views, eleven have terraces and all have been individually and beautifully furnished with antiques and Cornish art. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms with Ren toiletries - some with baths, some with showers and some both. Most rooms can be double or twinned. There are also two 2-bedroom suites.
Please note that the hotel does not have a lift and being on a hill, there are steps linking the different levels and houses of the hotel.

Delicious food in the 3-rosette restaurant

Paul Wadham has been awarded 3 AA rosettes for his modern, Mediterranean-influenced cooking, focusing on local, fresh ingredients, simply done. The menu has plenty of seafood and changes daily to ensure that only the freshest catch is available to the guests. At breakfast, a round table groans with fresh berries and fruits, delicious granola, creamy yoghurts and warm pastries or choose from the extensive cooked menu.
