Discover the Magic of a Cornish Holiday!

Cornwall, a gem nestled in the southwestern tip of England, offers an enchanting escape for travellers seeking stunning coastlines, rich heritage, and a relaxed pace of life. Whether you’re longing for a peaceful retreat or an adventure-filled break, Cornwall has something for everyone. A Cornish holiday is about more than just beautiful beaches; it’s an experience brimming with history, culture, and unparalleled natural beauty.

Breathtaking Beaches and Coastal Walks

When most people think of Cornwall, their minds are drawn to its golden sands and turquoise waters. From the rugged cliffs of Land's End to the sheltered coves of the Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall boasts some of the UK’s most beautiful beaches.

In Porthtowan, for example, where we have Bodannon—a family-friendly beach house—you’ll find a perfect mix of surf-ready waves and quieter spots ideal for a more relaxed day out. Equally, the South West Coast Path offers hikers jaw-dropping sea views, with routes that meander past dramatic cliffs, secret coves, and charming fishing villages.

Charming Villages and Towns

Cornwall’s villages and towns are steeped in history, offering glimpses into the county’s rich maritime and mining past. St Ives, known for its vibrant arts scene, has long been a hub for painters and creatives drawn to its unique light and picturesque harbour. Further along the coast, Padstow entices with its gourmet dining, thanks in part to celebrity chef Rick Stein, and its proximity to the scenic Camel Estuary.

Port Isaac, the setting for the popular TV series Doc Martin, remains a favourite for its quaint streets, while Tintagel—just a short drive from both  91 & 100 Hengar Manor—is famous for its dramatic castle ruins linked to the legend of King Arthur.

Adventure and Exploration

1. For those with a taste for adventure, Cornwall is a paradise. With surfing hotspots like Newquay and Perranporth, it's a haven for water sports enthusiasts. The rugged coastline also provides ample opportunities for kayaking, paddleboarding, and coasteering.

Inland, Cornwall’s moors and woodlands are equally captivating. Bodmin Moor, with its haunting beauty, offers a wild and wonderful landscape perfect for walking or cycling. The Camel Trail, a well-loved 18-mile cycling route, follows the scenic River Camel from Bodmin to Padstow, making for a fun family day out.

A Taste of Cornwall

A Cornish holiday wouldn’t be complete without sampling some of the region’s iconic food and drink. From a hearty Cornish pasty to a cream tea (remember, it’s jam first in Cornwall!), there’s plenty to tantalise your taste buds. Seafood lovers will relish the fresh catch of the day, whether it’s enjoyed in a fine-dining restaurant or a cosy harbourside café.

Don’t miss the opportunity to visit a local farm shop or market, where you can pick up artisan cheeses, chutneys, and hand-made Cornish fudge. If you’re in the mood for something a little stronger, Cornwall is also home to some excellent breweries and cider farms, where you can sample local ales and ciders.

Festivals and Culture

Cornwall has a vibrant calendar of events and festivals, especially during the summer months. From the world-renowned Boardmasters Festival in Newquay to the more traditional St Piran’s Day celebrations, there’s always something going on.

For those interested in culture and history, the Minack Theatre is a must-visit. Perched on the cliffs above Porthcurno, this open-air theatre stages performances with the stunning backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s an unforgettable way to experience the arts in one of the world’s most dramatic settings.
