With its whitewashed walls, sun-kissed terrace and large windows overlooking the turquoise sea of St Ives bay, Boskerris has a Mediterranean feel. Dinner can be eaten al fresco, at candlelit tables, or in the restaurant. Expect mains with a nod to the Med, including fish soup, sage-and-garlic gnocchi and beef carpaccio. Most rooms have ocean views, but the Celebration suite is the most impressive, with a sunken bath for two, White Company toiletries and a Bose dock for setting the mood.

Accommodation is in just three luxurious rooms (so crowd-free couple time comes guaranteed) – all with separate entrances for extra privacy. There’s also a cottage for those craving more space. The decor is classic with a contemporary twist: antique furniture sits alongside modern fittings, with a cast-iron bed here, gold wallpaper and a gilded mirror there, and chandeliers crowning the space above. Breakfast is taken a five-minute walk away at Rick Stein’s Cafe.
