BEACHES

Click here for a MAP of all the local beaches

Abigail and Jeremy will direct you to lots of local beaches, (including their favorite - Pendower, only a few minutes away in the car). Here you will find sand, rocks, safe swimming and glorious walking.

GARDENS

There are so many wonderful gardens to visit in Cornwall that we had to dedicate an entire page to the subject!

SHOPPING

If you are in need of a bit of retail therapy Truro is 20 minutes away and has all the usual high street shops. However if you want to potter nearer to home you only have to wander up the hill where you will find a Post Office, general store, antique shop art gallery and pub.



ACTIVITIES

Now this is really what your holiday should be all about!

Sailing

Serious sailors will tell you that the sailing and boating around the Helford River and the Fal Estuary is second to none. If you want to learn ‘how to’ then we can personally recommend the tuition at: http://www.mylorsailingschool.co.uk/

If you have your own boat then you can launch off several of the local beaches. (Don’t forget to take a picnic hamper! Full of home made goodies.

Surfing

RESTAURANTS & CULTURE

You will not go hungry on your holiday, that we can guarantee! There is something to suit every taste, from village pubs with excellent food, simple cafés for a quick snack and top class restaurants such as the famous Seafood Restaurant that Rick Stein has made so famous on the TV.

 

 

Village Pubs

Here is a link to lots of locals but we would like to particularly recommend:


The Roseland Inn, which is a few minutes away up the road in Philleigh.

King’s Head in Ruan, equally close.

But if you don’t even want to get into the car you can walk up the hill into the village and have a jolly good meal at The Kings' Arms and meet all our friendly locals in the village.

 

Cafés

Cafe Chandlers, in St Mawes just by the Ferry.  The perfect spot for a delicious light. Locally sourced food perfect for filling a picnic hamper.
Rick Stein's Cafe, obviously Rick needs no introduction, so do visit Padstow and if the Seafood Restaurant is not quite what you fancy try the Cafe for morning coffee or lunch.

 

Cinema

We hope it won't be wet weather but just in case the Roseland receives a shower or two and you want to hide in the cinema the Truro Plaza may be an ideal spot in which to shelter.

 

Theatre

If you drive to Penzance don't leave with out visiting the famous Minack Theatre.  Quite apart from watching great theatre, the view is simply breathtaking - and there are gardens and cafes to enjoy - well worth a trip.

 

Restaurants

Some of the serious ones…


Tresanton in St Mawes (pictured above).  For terrific food and stunning views over the habour.  Morning coffee and afternoon tea recommended.
Fifteen - Cornwall, situated on the Atlantic coast in Watergate Bay.  Great food and an inspiring project from Jaime Oliver.
Abbey Restaurant, perched high above the harbour in Penzance, this restaurant is Michellin starred - a true treat.
