Surely one of the very best National Trust destinations in the UK, this magnificent late Victorian country house is set in a huge estate in the middle of Cornwall.

Lovely excursion today to the charming Cornish fishing port of Padstow. Stroll along the scenic harbour and enjoy the wonderful view over the Camel Estuary to Rock.

Plenty of quaint shops to explore, traditional Cornish pubs, restaurant and eateries for a cream tea, Fish & Chips or a pasty. With flat, accessible paths and stunning views, Padstow has a lovely atmosphere - one of our favourite excursion destinations anywhere! Returning to hotel after lunch for free time.

3* Kilbirnie Hotel

Excellent hotel located overlooking the grassy clifftop on the northern end of the town with only a short, 10 minute walk in to the centre of town and sandy beaches.

FOR TRANSPARENCY IN 2025 - The adjacent (and unsightly!) block has been demolished and building has begun. Any works will only be taking place in the day time so any disruption should be kept to an absolute minimum. The hotel has excellent double glazing units.  

Superbly appointed throughout. From the welcoming, spacious reception area all the way through to all the bedrooms the Kilbirnie enjoys a bright modern decor and is maintained to a very high standard. Professionally operated with friendly and efficient staff on hand to assist and offer any advice required. There is a large lounge and bar area with plenty of comfortable seating where you can relax during any free time in the day and enjoy some evening entertainment during your holiday.

The hotel also has some excellent leisure facilities - with 2 swimming pools - 1 indoor, 1 outdoor, a sauna/steam room and a well equipped gym!

Meals are served in the spacious Sunset View Restaurant, which (you've guessed it) offers some lovely views towards the ocean. For breakfast, there is an extensive hot and cold buffet on offer - self serve. In the evening, enjoy a 3 course menu with choice of menu - served at the table. Excellent changing menus - well done classic dishes.  

All the bedrooms are beautifully decorated and offer excellent facilities with comfortable beds and modern bathrooms. Most bathrooms are bath with shower over. Bedrooms have excellent, large TV, WiFi, tea & coffee facilities and hairdryer. Iron available on request. Some ground floor rooms - the hotel also has a large lift. Sorry - no porterage. Handy Tesco Express store close by.
