The West Country / Cornwall region
For the perfect holiday in Cornwall come to North Cornwall. Sixty miles of dramatic Heritage Coastline, sandy beaches, hidden coves and pretty fishing villages, wooded river valleys, bustling market towns and the beguiling beauty of Bodmin Moor. Whether it’s a short break or longer, North Cornwall offers quality hotels, bed and breakfasts, guesthouses, self catering and caravan and camping parks.
North Cornwall also has quality attractions including the world famous Eden Project, stunning country houses, medieval castles and many areas to explore including Bude - a premier resort, Crackington Haven, Boscastle, King Arthurs Tintagel and Port Isaac, all hidden in the most spectacular cliffs in Cornwall. Visit the market towns of Camelford and Wadebridge and the pretty working port of Padstow. Inland there's the muted fury of the dramatic Bodmin Moor and the historic towns of Bodmin and Launceston
Bude / North Petherwin area
If you are a keen golfer you will be pleased to know that there are 2 golf courses within a 5 mile radius from your doorstep; Launceston Golf Course and Trethorn Golf Club.
The nearest public house is the Countryman, 1 1/2 miles away (30 minute walk if you like a beer or two) which has a thatched roof and serves excellent food. I also recommend the White Horse in the market town of Launceston, which is 4 miles away. The Otter Park is a 5 minute walk down the road. The nearest beach is 15 minutes away; you have a choice of Crackington Haven, Bude and Widemouth Beach. Polzeath is only 30 minutes away!
