Trip to Corwall

StanleyJ

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could advise me in finding a good deal for cottages in Cornwall for the jubilee bank holiday. We are a group of 6 adults and 2 kids and would be looking for 3 nights. Also places to visit would be something i 'd be looking for. I have the EDEN project in mind. What else would be worth going?

Any help/advise on this would be much appreaciated.

Regards,
SJ

I have just found a site www.next4weeks.co.uk we have just started advertising our North Yorkshire cottage on there but most of the cottages are in Devon and Cornwall it is as the name suggests a place where cottage owners advertise vacancies for the next 4 weeks however there is a link to each cottage website to see availability throughout the year.

If you are going to Eden don't miss out on the Lost Gardens of Heligan http://www.heligan.com/ which is nearby , we actually preferred it to Eden..
Bought tickets for Eden with Tesco Vouchers . We stayed in a b&b so can't help with accommodation..

Hear hear! So did we - found Eden a dated expensive waste of money (even at half price) that was preaching to the converted - maybe relevant a few years ago but with so much environmental stuff around these days it seems to have had its day, and the planting schemes were tatty
Heligan is timeless, Trebah is nice and has a beach too

Frankly is it's Cornwall then the beaches are so great that you don't need to do much else - rockpooling whatever the weather, scrambling over rocky bits, walking on beach - try Bedruthun Steps - unique and other-worldly

We didn't like the mining experience or Newquay Zoo but loved the seal sanctuary, Tintagel Castle and Boscastle up north

Have fun

If you are into gardens then Trebah is well worth a visit. http://www.trebahgarden.co.uk/

ETA: I see I cross-posted with blossomhill. Great minds think alike :-)

I stayed at killigarth manor, near Polperro last month and it was lovely. Not too far from the Eden Project and there's onsite entertainment including crazy golf.
It cost us £330 for a week but would probably be more that weekend.
You can find prices by googling John Fowler.

We visited Carnglaze Caverns, cheap and quite interesting even though I'm not too bothered about history.

I love the giant rhubbarb I grew up in Cornwall and used to go to Trebah all the time, great place. (Take towels and some drinks for the beach, OP)

(and use the loos at the top of the garden, as there aren't any anywhere else ...)

Think you may struggle with availability OP, but hope you find something.
