  • Hi, looking for any more recommendations on good restaurants in Cornwall. Not sure where we will be based, but probably travelling around a lot. Maybe St Ives, as lots of choice.
    Anyone tried any of these 5?

  • A brilliantly clean, level campsite with direct access to a superb, huge beach is at GWITHIAN - absolutely fabulous. Put it on your list
  • I'm lucky to live in Cornwall. St. Ives is a beautiful place to visit. There are lovely walks around Cornwall. St. Mawes on the roseland Peninsula is a must. We have a fantastic coastline from the north to the west - take your pick!!!!!:j

    Can't believe that no-one has mentioned Sennen Cove:

    Best beach ever - it's the closest beach to Lands End, parking is a bit of a nightmare though.
    :hello:
  • You just have to visit the Lostwithiel area. River Fowey - fishing, walksetc, Restormel Castle, Lostwithiel- good eateries, antique shops. Lerryn, St Winnow, (Looe , Polperro-Commercial holiday areas but nice)Fowey is within easy reach.
    I know of a week sc holiday( August) in a 2 bed lodge - sleep six set in grounds of a Country Club (available at moment ) with sea views, close to Eden, nr Fowey golf course, beach, and all above areas with full use of club facilitites swimming pool, gym etcGood Restaurant on site.

  • Try https://www.ukcampsite.co.uk Really good website that also gives customer feedback - warts and all!! I used this website last year for all our camping trips and was never disappointed. On the camping in Cornwall/cheap holiday abroad debate - I would choose camping in Corwnall every time (and now with the flying/carbon issue, its also the "greener" option). We have camped in Cornwall for the last 15 years - sometimes up to 3 times a year, and in all weathers.
  • Also - just to get the juices flowing https://www.cornwallcam.co.uk gets updated every day.
