Recommended as one of the best Dog Hotels in...
Wow, this comes as a pleasant surprise. We’ve been recommended as one of the best Dog Hotels in Britain by Sawdays and have been featured in the Travel Section of Saturdays Times.
I was aware that something may be said as we had the excellent and supremely talented Jim Wileman come and take some photos on Tuesday of Fleur ( the elegant black poodle owned by the extremely generous...

Featured in the Times' Cool Weekend Guide
We’ve been recommended in the latest edition of The Times’ Cool Weekend Guide as a ‘luxury town house style hideaway with pretty garden’. Penzance is featured as a balmy Cornish port bustling with gorgeous galleries such as Penlee House. There’s also the beautiful Art Deco Jubilee swimming pool, built in 1935 and the stunning cliffside open-air Minnack Theatre.

Enjoy 'anonymous' fine dining
UNITITLED normally describes a work of art that an artist may feel reluctant to categorise or name for any number of reasons.
For a restaurant and a chef, it is a bold move but then chef Robert Wright at Untitled is a bold man. His motto: “real food for real people.”
Robert’s portfolio at his Penzance restaurant is vast and most notably includes head chef at the massively...

Jean Shrimpton in British Vogue
Jean was featured in this month’s edition of British Vogue talking about her love for Cornwall. It’s in the Beauty supplement and very complimentary about Jean and the hotel. I’d like to personally thank the wonderful Kayla Jacobs who was a pleasure to work with on the project.
Michael Cox on The Night Climbers Of Cambridge by...
The Night Climbers Of Cambridge is a curio. Upon its first publication in October 1937 it became an instant hit, and a second edition appeared in November of the same year. It was reprinted in 1952, 1953 and most recently in 2007. But perhaps more than any other book in The Abbey’s drawing room library, it is deserving of ‘cult classic’ status. Night Climbers was published under the pseudonym...

Jean Shrimpton on The Rings Of Saturn by WG Sebald
I can’t remember when I read The Rings Of Saturn, but perhaps this is in keeping with the book. It’s one of the most enigmatic and mysterious works I’ve read. There is no fixed point, no real plot, no sense of purposeful direction or narrative intent, and yet its sense of melancholy stays with me as much as the gloriously haunting opening three sentences:
In August 1992, when the dog days were...

Frank Sinatra Has A Cold by Gay Talese
Michael Cox on Frank Sinatra Has A Cold by Gay Talese
“Gay Talese’s profile of Frank Sinatra appeared in the April 1966 issue of Esquire. I missed it then, and don’t recall how it subsequently crossed my radar, but it’s extraordinary. From start to finish, the writing is superb.
“Talese brilliantly distils the essence of Sinatra, despite never obtaining his co-operation for the piece. People...
