animals & then waiting for the stars to come out. Absolutely
idyllic! Sue & Steve. Dorset 2006

standard of accommodation and a lovely tranquil location. July 2005

The
sound of the birds makes such a welcome change to the noise of city

camellias and size of the rhododendron bushes in blossom. Annie &

It is a beautiful area - just wish we had
more time!

environment, engineering, geography ... well that's just about
everyone.

Especially enjoyed the walks, and the peace and
quiet of this special place. Rhonda & Ricki, September 2007

braving the cows and sheep! Your directions were great - not even we
managed to get lost!

A wonderful week, exploring the countryside in the
morning using the excellent walking guides, and the afternoon in
more sedate pursuits.

The Lost Gardens of Heligan... Port
Quinn to Port Isaac and back... walking the coastal path
.. the National Trust gardens at Cotehele

Strand
Riding at 'Sunrise' (riding centre) was invigorating
Lanhydrock was a highlight
Tavistock (great market)
Fowey and Lostwithiel, as well as the more
well-known honey pots
If you feel like fresh fish
then take a trip to Padstow...
I would recommend St Leonard's for riding
Recommend the cinema in Wadebridge - and
the Camel Trail
The Springer Spaniel,
excellent food & value, large portions, v helpful staff.
The Royal Inn at Horsebridge
.... great setting, great value for money
The Caradon Inn (3 miles) and
the Racehorse (1 mile)
