Broom Parc House, coastal walk and evening meal at The Lugger, Portloe.

Star of the Channel 4 series Camomile Lawn, Broom Parc House makes the perfect base to explore the Roseland peninsula...... 
with a stunning view over Veryan Bay and Gull Rock.......
the cosy comfort of the dining room set for breakfast, glimpsed before heading off round the coastal path (the Terror Run!) to Portloe..........
and an evening meal at The Lugger Hotel.......
 where the view from........
 the terrace leaves you relax with........
time to enjoy a pre-dinner drink (though with St Austell Ales brewery not a million miles away the drinks menu could really benefit from a selection of local ales) as the sun goes down while choosing from a fish laden menu.......
 inside, a local centenarian's art work painted with a credit card, one of a diverse collection on the restaurant walls...... 
 help contribute to a warm dining ambience......
 with somewhere to sit.......
 if it's a chilly evening.......
 on with the meal, steaming soup starter........
 a might meaty Newlyn hake.......
 perfectly cooked St Ive's Bay plaice with prawn and tapenade butter........
 the duo of Cornish seven-hour roasted lamb.......
 nearby Falmouth bay scallops.......
 and mussels going the other way from Fowey........
 all succumbed to the power of the knife and fork......
before a truly delicious chocolate birthday cake was produced - the chef Didier Bienaime did 'good love' all right for eight satisfied diners!
