On Sunday the 8th of June it was my nineteenth
birthday and to celebrate, Matt had booked us into a hotel in Cornwall for the
weekend. We stayed in a lovely Best Western hotel called The Restormel Lodge in
Lostwithiel, Matt had also managed to sort us the luxury executive double room
as well!
So Friday morning we left bright and early to
arrive in Cornwall just in time for lunch. We started off the weekend with a
walk around Padstow as we had already been here before and knew it was a
beautiful little seaside town to visit. A couple asked Matt to take a photo of
them which was pretty cute, I sneakily captured it too! We walked around the
dock and had lunch in a cute little pub called The Shipwright; we had a crab
sandwich and chocolate cake to share, yummy!
After stuffing ourselves with food we had a wander
around the shops and bought a few treats. I love the shops that are all around
Cornwall because they always sell amazing little gifts! The shops in general
just look really pretty as well.
We also came across the famous Rick Steins café on
our travels around Padstow, who offer a wide variety of fresh, local seafood. The
last time we went to Padstow back in September last year, read about that in another blogpost here, we went to Rick Steins fish and chip shop and experienced
the tastiest food ever!! It was seriously a good call! Sadly this time we didn’t
have the chance to do so again as we had already eaten.
We then headed back to the hotel and went in the
heated outdoor swimming pool to cool down; it was nice because we had it all to
ourselves. We decided we would stay in that evening and have dinner at the
hotel, which was absolutely gorgeous! As we were eating, it started thundering
and lightening which was scary but pretty cool to watch out the window.
As the evening turned to night we went back to our
hotel room and relaxed on the sofa whilst watching a film. We got an earlyish
night knowing that we had a long day planned on the Saturday. More on
that in my next blog!
Here are some of my favourite photos from the day.
I hope you like my photos from day 1 of my little weekend away, day 2 will be up shortly!
Love Amy x
