Holiday in Cornwall

If anyone's still looking I can thoroughly recommend Port Isaac - we went on a big family holiday there this summer (beginning of June) and loved it so much we've already booked to go back next year. There are two small beaches within relatively easy walking distance (warning: both pebbly and down fairly steepish hills), lots of good pubs and restaurants in the village, and it's all very quaint and proper small Cornish seaside village. If you've seen Doc Martin it's where they film that but thankfully hasn't yet been invaded by tourists!

Polzeath beach is a very short drive away, is nice and sandy and has lots of other stuff to do (though possibly less out of season). Ditto Padstow (go over the Doom Bar on the ferry if it's still running).

This is who we stayed with: http://www.cornishseaviewcottages.co.uk/our-cottages/index.aspx

To whoever was asking about more going outy type places, Bude is good for that if you want to go to North Cornwall but as most of the big attractions are further south and you will have to drive to the beaches it maybe isn't the best plan. Sadly Cornwall is one of those places where if you haven't got a car you may struggle a bit to get around.

Oh, and FWIW, I'm 21 and I hate clubbing. Give me a nice pub and a half of a decent real ale any day!
