I wonder what people said about that compared to what was there before when it was built?
It was built by one woman Rowena Cade and her gardener. She had carried a lot of the stone up from the cliffs below. Sadly I only went for a day visit, but on a warm summer night you can imagine the atmosphere.

Not sure what the hotel is like but the hotel bar/cafe is quite nice and the food OK however thought we would book into the hotel off peak to see what it was like but not at those prices for a sea view.
I can put you in touch with a guy if you want a deal on a room, the rooms are lovely. Also in Devon:
Lost Gardens of Heilgan: http://heligan.com/ - Quite Superb
Tamar Otter Park: http://www.tamarotters.co.uk/ - Best nine quid you will ever spend.
Nothing, and I do mean nothing, beats the bakelite museum here in Somerset though: https://www.bakelitemuseum.net/ - Weird does not begin to describe it.
For what it's worth, I think most of Cornwall is a tip.

One thing I never do is tell the grockles where all the good places are.

Much of it is really rather grim. It does of course have a lot of lovely spots but inland you can feel your spirit wilting in many a place.
I will of course respectfully disagree with you there.The vast majority of cornwall is beautiful, unspoilt and fantastic. There are the odd spots that are not the most pleasant, but having recently visited Birmingham again, I’d rather live in the grimiest squat in Cornwall than go there
