Restaurant Tresanton - ST. AGNES

A special dinner out in this great location with very nice staff. Unfortunately the food disappoints. Bread is good. Starter of warm but flabby mullet draped over cold green beans on a cold plate? Crispy skin? No. Main course duck, meat ok but flabby skin again? Even I know how to get crispy skin on duck breast. Will think twice about coming again. Local take away fish chips was much better

On arrival found staff and receptionist to be first class , nothing was off limits to them , made my parter’s getaway the best she has ever had . Food was stunning buts its quite pricey , drinks were very good they will add 12.5% surcharge on these , The view from the rooms were stunning and could not ask for a better view . Bathroom was very good but our shower seals were leaking water all over the floor . Rooms made up every day and beach towel set was complimentary for use nice touch . All in all had an excellent few days away to unwind . If you need to no more , please don’t hesitate to ask for more information.

We had lunch at the Tresanton with good friends who live in Cornwall know the area very well. They correctly regard this luxury boutique hotel as the gem of St. Mawes which is a stunningly beautiful, very upscale, and unspoiled coastal fishing village on the Roseland Peninsula, a short ferry ride from busy Falmouth. It has gorgeous views of the bay from the dining terrace, beautifully appointed public rooms, and great food. We did not stay at the hotel because it was fully booked, for good reason.

Three dinners at Tresanton all exceptional. The menu is short but offers plenty of choice dishes rotate enough to remain interesting on consecutive nights. Highlights for us were the crab tian, arancini, all the fish (lemon sole, John Dory, the mackerel starter sea bass). And the young master says the duck was great too, so much so that I didn’t get a look in… Excellent wine list too refreshing to see such interesting whites, or so the old master says. He’s a sucker for Italian whites (from the Puglian Fiano to the Vernaccia) but also the Spanish (Albariño Gordello). My samples in the form of regular doggy boxes we’re all tip top, so thank you as ever to Jonathan, Paul and the whole team in this wonderful kitchen.

Had a lovely stay at this hotel! Room 12 with terrace. Wonderful views overlooking the sea from our room. Breakfast was great staff very friendly helpful.
