This weekend we welcome a much longed for Bank Holiday and it might, just maybe, even be sunny!  We are excited as our family and friends come to stay for the weekend, and many guests arrive at Little Winnick – the fridge is full and the drinks are already on ice so what does a good bank holiday mean for you?

Wow, it is hot and lovely with clear blue skies and long, long barmy evenings – and we love it.  I should warn you we have a weather swear box in reception – so if you moan it is now too hot you will be asked to make a donation to the charity box!

Things are hotting up in Cornwall in more ways than one with stunning weather and a rather lovely famous actor filming in Charlestown.  This week we have been bathed in wall to wall sunshine.  Yesterday we were cooking in the garden late into the evening.
