The Cornwall Hotel Spa and Estate located near St Austell is a great location for a wedding event and is full of wicked spots for most wedding photographers. The newly built Cornwall Hotel is still expanding and has great spa facilities, hotel facilities and of course some top class accommodation. I have been fortunate enough recently to photograph an intimate wedding at the Cornwall Hotel Spa and Estate and look forward to working in the hotel and its grounds again with another couple soon.
The hotel itself is located just outside of St Austell in Cornwall, about 2o minutes from both Liskeard and Bodmin on the A38 and about a further 20 minutes from both Plymouth and Truro. The Cornwall Hotel is also only a few miles from the sea, fishing villages, local facilities and St Austell town itself, which has good but often busy links to the rest of the county.
“Picture your Wedding at The Cornwall Hotel Spa and Estate. You, your family and close friends are all staying on the Estate – some in the traditional, sumptuous suites of The White House, others in the designer, glass-fronted Woodland Rooms, some in the luxurious Woodland Homes. Before the party, you relax and pamper yourself at The Clearing Spa. Your guests all converge from different parts of the 43-acre parkland for the Ceremony. There are acres of space and limitless ideas for those special Wedding photos, before you and your guests settle down to a Wedding Reception, with menus prepared by our Head Chef and his team. The following day, friends and family meet over breakfast in the restaurant, or out walking along the woodland trails. Plans are made for a swim, a game of tennis or a visit to a nearby beach. A wonderful occasion is recalled, while you set out on your honeymoon, and life together. You’ll find a magnificent natural setting here, along with all of the elements of service and attention to detail that ensure you and each of your guests enjoy a day to remember.” – The Cornwall Hotel
