Trevanion Lodge, St. Austell

Advantages: Central location, good for holiday accomodation.
Disadvantages: Not really distinctive.

...St. Austell is in a good location for people holidaying in Cornwall. Ok so it's not picturesque, olde worlde, quirky, small or anything else you might be looking for in a holiday, you could be in any town in England when you're in St. Austell. But it is very central to all the things that tourists are probably looking to visit when in Cornwall. It is 5 minutes from places like the Eden Project, Clay Museum and St. Austell Brewery. There are also some lovely walks in the area, including the interesting Clay Trails. It is around 20-30 mins from Fowey, Newquay, Padstow and such places. There are several nice beaches near to St. Austell such as Porthpean, Caerhays, Pentewan etc, but if you fancy a bit of surf you're only 20 or so minutes away from the like of Watergate Bay (where Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant is), Fistral, and all...

The Wellie has a choice of up to three Cask Ales and we tried two each ~ Alun had St. Austell Tribute and Jennings Snecklifter and I had Snecklifter and Tribute. My dad tried the Camerons Strongarm and even my lager drinking mother had a half of the Tribute. I?ve already reviewed Snecklifter and Strongarm, so I will now tell you about St. Austell Tribute! ~~~THE BREWERY. The St. Austell Brewery Company Limited started back in 1851 ~ funnily enough in St. Austell in Cornwall. It was founded by Walter Hicks a farmer who mortgaged his farm to fund his new business. The Brewery is still a family owned business who now (according to the company info on their website) own... Read review

...I live in Cornwall. I used to live on the north coast, near Redruth, however my boyfriend and I now live between Truro and St Austell. There is a Pizza Hut in Truro and a Pizza Hut in St Austell, we have visited the Truro restaurant many times and we have never had a problem with any aspect of the establishment. However we have recently started going to the St Austell eatery, some things are great and some things are not so great. Let's start with a little history of Pizza Hut. The very first Pizza Hut was opened in 1958 in Kansas by Frank and Dan Carney. The original restaurant was small, with only 25 seats, the sign was small, with only enough room for nine characters, they wanted to include PIZZA in the name, and so PIZZA HUT was born. It took 15 years for Pizza Hut to make it to the United Kingdom. Today, Pizza Hut are the largest... Read review
