Cornwall, the westernmost and southernmost part of mainland Britain is washed on all sides by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream.

The peninsula is surrounded by a stunning coastline from wide sandy beaches to intimate rocky coves and charming fishing villages which tell the story of this magical county. Join us on this package to the excellent quality 3* Rosemundy House Hotel, tucked away in the Cornish village of St Agnes. The village has a lovely, authentic charm with a number of shops, pubs and cafes to enjoy during your stay. For the more adventurous, there are plenty of walking paths in the area with the sea not too far away. Come away for a lovely relaxing break. Very popular destination.

Cornwall has so many places to visit - we have selected a blend of charming seaside towns to visit with spectacular coastal views on the journey. 

DAY 1
After being collected from your local pick up point around 8.00/9.30am, sit back, relax and enjoy the lovely scenery of Dorset and Devon on the journey to Cornwall. There will be comfort stops on route including a main stop for lunch before arriving in St Agnes late afternoon. Time to settle in to your room before dinner. Delicious food at the Rosemundy - 3 courses with choice of menu.

DAY 2
Wake up to the peace of the Rosemundy! Head down for a delicious breakfast in the restaurant before we head off for todays excursion. Padstow - Lovely excursion out to this Cornish gem with plenty of time to stroll around the streets, grab something to eat and drink in one of the many cafes, pubs or restaurants. The town has boomed in last few years with the influence of Rick Stein and there are a number of 'Ye Olde' traditional pubs through the streets with plenty of nice shops too. Enjoy the lovely views over the River Camel estuary to Rock - classic Cornish views with traditional ferry boats on the water. 

DAY 3
Short excursion today also allowing for some free time to enjoy St Agnes. In the morning we will depart for a short excursion to Newquay. This traditional seaside resort is set up to welcome visitors with plenty of eateries and shops and a bustling atmosphere. It is a centre for surfing and water sports being surrounded by a number of sandy beaches including the mighty Fistral.  

DAY 4
Lovely excursion today as we head to one of Cornwall's most popular towns. Once a major centre for the pilchard fishing industry, St Ives became a magnet for artists, attracted by the 'unique' light and the natural beauty of the area. Surrounded by beautiful, sandy beaches including Porthminster, Porthmeor & Porthgwidden the town is now a major tourist attraction. Plenty to enjoy along the narrow streets with independent shops and plenty of eateries or pick up a traditional pasty and find a spot to sit. We will arrange for the minibus service to take you from the top car park down to and back from town.

DAY 5
Sadly we head home this morning, with refreshment stops as required before arriving back in the local area around 4.30pm.

Meal Plan - Dinner Bed & Breakfast

3* Rosemundy House Hotel

This family run hotel is set in four acres of gardens in the centre of the unspoilt village of St Agnes on Cornwall's north coast. It is a short 100 metre walk (up quite a steep hill though!) from this impressive converted manor house, up on to the main street which has a selection of shops, a couple of traditional pubs and cafes. If you want to go further, head down through the enclave of Peterville to the pretty cove of Trevaunance and reward yourself with a drink overlooking the ocean in Schooners Bar. The hotel offers a chance to relax and recharge with a peaceful friendly atmosphere and comfortable lounges to enjoy a cup of tea. When the weather allows there is some leisure seating out on the lawn. The personal attention of the management and staff at the hotel is excellent – they really want you to enjoy your stay and return! Enjoy a drink in Tom Noggi’s Bar before dinner which is served in the large elegant restaurant. The food is highly rated with our customers – there is a choice of 3 courses plus tea & coffee in the evening with the accent on local fresh ingredients. For breakfast, enjoy an extensive self serve hot & cold buffet. At this time we are unsure if the outside pool will be available in 2024.

All the hotel bedrooms are a good size, comfortably furnished with good quality en-suite private bathrooms - some shower over bath, some shower only. Colour TV, hairdryer and tea/coffee making facilities included. There is no lift at the hotel but there are only 18 steps on the split staircase. 2 steps up in to reception. Ground floor rooms are available - book early if required.
