Format:Paperback
Having spent too many years not going to Cornwall because it seemed too long a journey we finally decided to go! We bought this book a couple of weeks before the holiday and read it before we left. It is well written and entertaining giving lots of local information, where to visit, where to eat and where to buy good local food. We particularly liked the local people's views given in each chapter. Probably a bit too much about where to stay as you are likely to have already booked before you buy the book. We'll have it to hand though for our next visit which won't be long as we enjoyed our time in Cornwall so much!

This book is such a useful guide and Lesley Gillilan makes it an easy and entertaining read. The book combines practical information on what to see, where to eat and where to stay with fascinating local insights. I particularly liked the 'local knowledge' sections in which Cornwall residents share what they like best. The only thing that lets this book down is the photography; very dull.

This guide was very helpful on holiday. Its simple, clear and sensible approach means that it was easy to use and very informative. I would recommend it to any one visiting Cornwall
