Celebrate World Oceans Day in Cornwall on Saturday 8th June
Perched perfectly on the rocks overlooking the spectacular St Mawes' harbour, The Idle Rocks, a Relais & Châteaux hotel, is a home away from home. Spend World Oceans Day in a luxurious bedroom, waking up to the soothing sounds of the ocean, and indulge in a full Cornish breakfast while overlooking the bay. The harbourside, on-site restaurant and terrace promises culinary delights crafted with fresh, local, Cornish produce.
The property is a boutique haven featuring 19 individually designed suites and beautiful lounge spaces for guests to relax in, showcasing understated elegance and seaside tranquillity in the utmost comfort and luxury. Recently, The Idle Rocks unveiled a brand-new restaurant concept, Reef Knot. Featuring an array of dishes crafted from daily caught fish, seasonal produce, and home-grown vegetables. Guests can anticipate the freshest catches, sourced sustainably from the restaurant's dedicated Fisherman, Gareth, landing daily at the quay and delivering fresh to the kitchen for guests to enjoy – supporting the one line, one hook, one fish ethos. The hotel also owns its very own sailing boat 'Reef Knot Osprey' which guests are welcome to use to take part in the 'fishing for supper' package, where guests can set sail with Gareth, aboard his traditional fishing boat to spend a few hours fishing, before returning to the hotel where the restaurant team will prepare and cook their catch.
Immersed in the serenity of its surroundings, the hotel looks out across the crystal blue, clear waters of the harbour and the Fal Estuary beyond - truly the most idyllic setting for seemingly endless walks that stretch a mile. Located on the picturesque Roseland Peninsula, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty known for its quality of landscape and unrivalled coastal scenery, guests of The Idle Rocks can enjoy all that South Cornwall and St Mawes has to offer. Whether discovering secluded coves by boat, fishing in the Fal Estuary, taking picnics on nearby beaches, or venturing along the nearby scenic cliffs and headlands, celebrate World Oceans Day at The Idle Rocks.

Attending weddings can be a joyous occasion, but it can also be expensive, particularly if you're invited to more than one over the course of the year. Costs such as new outfits, travel and accommodation, and gifts mean the overall expense of attending can quickly add up. Duncan Fortune, Head of Commercial at Tesco Bank, says: "Wedding season can be a significant expense for households. Planning ahead and setting a dedicated budget for celebrations can help spread the cost over several months, allowing people to make the most of the celebrations while keeping their finances on track."
