Well we are putting an end to that with our massive new couples discount. £200 off if you are staying at Crigg or the Granary, or £100 if you would like to stay at the Linney. Available all year round apart from school holidays. Hurray!

Snow at Porthcothan

So…we got all excited. Snow coming to Cornwall at last according to the weather forecast. Well here it is – Porthcothan snow for the winter of 2014/15. Three very disappointed kids….

Kids. Don’t you just love ’em? April 12th, 2013

Going on holiday with young children can be quite a challenge. So much to pack – change mats/ highchairs/ cots/ bath seats. How will it all fit in the car? Don’t sweat it! We can provide all off these free of charge, giving you more space to bring what the little ones are really interested in – buckets and spades!

Fathers Day May 29th, 2012

Its nearly that time of year when we get to tell our darling dads how much we love them. Why not suprise yours with a fantastic holiday in sunny Cornwall? We still have the week of 16th June left at the Granary. It sleeps 6 people, so you could even bring grandpa too! We’ll give you a £50 discount as a sweetener. More money to spend on slippers, cigars, and chocolate!

Summer seafood May 29th, 2012

What amazing weather we are having, and how clear is the sea right now! We have just been snorkelling off Bedruthan Steps and caught 5 spider crabs for supper. Delicious washed down with a cold bottle of white wine. You’ve seen it on Rick Stein – now come and do it for yourself…We have a couple of weeks still available this summer. Grab a wetsuit and a snorkel and mask, head down to Cornwall, and you could be enjoying incredible free seafood too!

First Post – Padstow May Day April 25th, 2012

Not long now until Padstow May Day. It is held on the 1st May and is truly a spectacle to behold. The men, women and children of Padstow take to the streets dressed in their whites, armed with their melodiums and drums, following their beloved ‘obby ‘oss. There is a red ‘os (the old ‘oss), and a blue ‘oss (the peace ‘oss), that whirls and dances through the narrow streets to the incredible beat of the May Song. The streets are adorned with flags and trees, as well as the beautiful maypole.This is an ancient pagan fertility festival – beware if you get taken underneath the ‘oss. I was seized twice one year, and now have twins!!

Our Amazing Fortnight January 16th, 2012

Thanks for a brilliant holiday. 2 weeks of sunshine, beach life and BBQs! We love the changes you have made especially all the new furnishings. The cottage was really clean and comfortable, and the new beds are great. The first thing I will be doing when I get home is ordering myself a new bed. We slept so well!
