It is nearly Spring and everything is in bud…looking out onto the field from the Coach-House all you can see is a sea of yellow daffodils.

Spend Easter in Cornwall and work off all those Easter eggs by exploring our wonderful beaches. There are over 300 beaches in Cornwall for you to explore whilst holidaying at Lanyon Manor, some of the best are in close proximity of your holiday accommodation, for example the glorious beaches of Porthmeor & Carbis Bay near St. Ives and the huge stretches of golden sand at Godrevy and Portreath on the North Cornish coast.

Come and stay this Easter, we have a special HALF PRICE Easter Offer on all breaks, plus you will receive a fabulous Easter hamper full of Cornish goodies and Easter egg hunting fun for the children…adults can join in too!

What are you waiting for?

Mother’s Day…what could you do for your brilliant mum? Well we have an idea…we would like to offer Mum’s a chance to celebrate their special day…but with a twist. Lanyon can accommodate up to 12 people, and Coswyn barn up to 14 – so we have decided to offer a special break for three generations of mums. Yes 3 generations…or more! So all the mums and family can celebrate their special day together in style.

Get mums and mums of mums together!

We have also teamed up with Simply Cornish Hampers, to offer each mum a hamper bursting with wonderful Cornish goodies including Camel Vally Brut and much more, a beautiful fleece picnic blanket from the Atlantic Blanket Company…and finally, to remember the occasion, we will arrange for the family to have a family photograph taken by professional award winning photographer Khalile Siddiqui.

We have Ann from Ann’s Pasties here, we are learning about the many variety of ways a pasty can be made starting with the pastry, the filling, the seasoning and most controversial of all the crimping!

Rolling the pastry with a sepecial pastry roller…

Adding the seasoning to the meat and then to the final layer which is potatoe…some say it should be onion.

…and finally the contoversial crimping…top or side crimp? I always thought it was the side crimp because when the miners were down the mine they had very dirty hands and held the pasty by the side crimp then threw it away because it was all dirty.

The rules of the competition for the World Pasty Championship at the Eden Poject state that all pasties must have side crimping.

Side crimping it is!

Our foodie theme continues, we have ‘The Food Travel Company’ staying and today they are using Coswyn Barn kitchen for a photo shoot whilst they make Cornish Pasties. These are not just any old pasties, these pasties are going to the Eden Project to be entered into the World Pasty Championships.

The championships at Eden is all about celebrating the pasty and a chance for bakers in Cornwall and beyond to show off their talents.

I will keep you posted on progress, at the moment they are making the pasty pastry and prepping the vegetables.

Spring is on it’s way you can see it, everything is in bud and dad, Geoffrey – really enjoys spring…this love of spring must come from his farming days.

Tiger and Bear went to the beach yesterday – it really was a beautiful day. We sat for a little while watching the surfers, then we walk towards Godrevy lighthouse to see the seals on their private beach.

Caroline Quentin is presenting another travelogue, and this time it’s in Cornwall, “a place of epic landscapes and dramatic coastlines” where “the cliffs surrender to the mighty Atlantic”.

The series is all about getting a picture of Cornish life by speaking to locals such as fishermen, shopkeepers, holiday accommodation owners and lifeboat crews “telling the stories of community and friendship, hard graft and fresh endeavours, traditional livelihoods and ingenious money-making schemes”.
The superb ariel footage show Cornwall off beautifully demonstrating why Cornwall is such a thriving sea-side holiday destination anytime of year and why we are so lucky to be living in such a beautiful part of the country.
