Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Tucked just beyond the narrow lanes of Marazion, and blessed with fantastic views of Mounts Bay and St Michael’s Mount, the Mount Haven is a smart yet unpretentious hotel and restaurant for all occasions, from a romantic holiday to a pit stop along the South West Coast Path.
It’s run with dedication and passion by the owners, Mike and Orange Trevillion, and the feel of the place and the service is something special: if you want a swanky hotel close to Penzance and the wild, western tip of Cornwall, bag a four-poster suite or boutique balcony room here with all the trimmings you’d expect of top-notch accommodation and you will be very happy indeed. Local artwork adorns the walls and sculptures dot the hallways and living spaces, but every area from the lounge and terrace to the restaurant beckons you to relax and enjoy the sea views.
There’s a spa offering holistic treatments and all sorts of rejuvenating pampering, and it has a pretty decent restaurant too – popular with non-residents, and serving refined yet simple food based on local, often foraged produce. Whether you want a Cornish crab sandwich after a dog-walk on the beach, morning coffee with a view, or a three-course gourmet dinner, it’s one of the best dining venues around; and this, surely, is one of the best places to stay – in a part of Britain where there’s no shortage of good competition.
