The West Country / Cornwall region
Cornwall is a beautiful county, blessed with a climate similar to northern France. It is famous for it's pasties, cream teas and ice cream, and we challenge any of you to come home after your holiday weighing less than you did before it! But who cares- that 's what holidays are all about!
Cornwall is not a vastcounty but is packed with history and tourist attractions a plenty. It is only 25 minutes to Newquay from Harlyn Bay, 45 minutes to St.Ives and 1 1/2 hours to Land's End. The south coast is only a short drive away too, and many a happy afternoon can be spent poking round the quaint shops of Falmouth or maybe taking a trip on the charming 'Fowey Town Tours' train, or relaxing with an ice cream on Mevagissy harbour.
The Padstow / St Merryn area
There are seven fabulous beaches in the area, some have huge stretches of golden sand and some are facinating rocky coves with deep and intruiging rockpools begging to be explored. On the cliff top there is mile upon mile of breathtaking coastal walks and scenery. The coastal path is literally 5 minutes walk away from the apartment and the views are truly amazing. The path is well maintained with some stiles, but not taxing as it meanders along the cliff top, each twist and turn revealing yet another delight. Sturdy footwer advised.
THE LOCAL AREA
The apartment is within easy walking distance( 5 minutes) of an excellent pub which caters for all the family, with an extensive menu and nightly carvery. The Harlyn Inn also offers free Wi-fi, so you can catch up with friends, family and business contacts. There is also an well stocked beach shop which hires out surf boards and surf-skis.
About 1 miles away in the village of St Merryn, you will find several excellent restaurants and pubs to suit all pockets. There are some superb shops here too for your provisions, with a first rate bakery and deli, and there is also the award winning fish and chip shop with dining facilities as well as take away. Just up the road, between St. Mrerryn and Trevone, Rick Stein has taken over the Corshing Arms and is catering for families. Good value and delicious!
PLACES TO VISIT
As well as the wonderful beaches, the area is littered with tourist attractions, the Eden Project, Flambards, Poldark Mines to name just a few, and the picturesque villages that lie inland just a short drive away hold many delights in the way of rustic pubs with mouthwatering fare, cream teas etc.
Padstow though is a must with it's quaint streets and shops, fabulous restaurants (book months early and save up if you wish to visit Rick Stein's Seafood restaurant ), and the beautiful village of Rock and St. Enerdoc is just a ferry ride away. Bicycles can be hired from Padstow, for the flat and picturesque ride up the River Camel trail to Wadebridge & beyond.
For those of you who enjoy golf, Trevose Head Golf Club -Peter Alliss's favourite Cornish course, (one of Maggie Thatcher's favourites too!) is but 1 minute away. It is a stunning course right out on the headland, with panoramic views across the sea, Booby's Bay and Constantine Beach.
This area is the perfect venue for the family holiday, you can spend each day doing something different, or every day doing nothing at all, the choice is all yours!
The Eden project is approximately 30 minutes drive away. There are many National Trust properties close by.

Reviews
 21 Aug 2011 |
We all enjoyed a very relaxing break at Sanderlings. The apartment is very comfortable and well equipped. It is only a short walk from Harlyn Bay- a sandy beach great for swimming, surfing and body boarding. There is a pub a few minutes walk away that serves good reasonably priced food and Padstow is very close for further food choices. A great place to holiday. Response: We are delighted that the Hardwickes made the most of all that this beautiful beach has to offer. The apartment being so close to the Harlyn Bay is ideal for families who enjoy the outdoor life but who also enjoy having a warm and comfortable haven to return to at the end of the day. We would welcome the Hardwicke family back to Sanderlings at any time and thank them for their kind comments. |
