Holidays in Cornwall

Can’t decide between Cornwall’s north and south coasts? (Fair enough, they are both very splendid on the scenery, beaches and attractions front…) Problem solved at Holidays in Cornwall, a peaceful rural spot at River Valley Country Park, on the banks of the Hayle river around 15 minutes’ drive from Penzance.

Head north from here and you can be up in St Ives, Carbis Bay or Godrevy within a 20-minute drive. Point wheels south instead to get to Marazion and St Michael’s Mount in about five minutes, or continue on to Praa Sands, Porthleven and the Lizard Peninsula (you may also like to consider outings to Flambards Theme Park, the Minack Theatre and Land’s End – none is further than half an hour away).

Stays at this handy park are in a well-equipped cosy two-bedroom caravan, with a deck for sitting out amid a peaceful 23 acres of surrounding countryside in a quiet wooded valley. There’s a spacious fully-fitted kitchen within the caravan for prepping eats and drinks to consume on the deck (or at the dining table); if you’d rather head out to have someone else do the honours there are a couple of good pubs within a five-minute drive.
