Newquay Cornwall Information

My husband and I wanted to take a spring break somewhere near the sea. We didn’t want all the hassle of booking flights, airport delays and paying for airport parking so we decided to look for somewhere in the UK. We briefly considered Scotland but thought a Scottish beach might be a bit inhospitable in spring, so we eventually settled on Cornwall with its temperate climate. After checking the map we thought Newquay would make a suitable base for our holiday – giving access to both the north and south coasts and within easy driving distance … Read More...

If you want to take a holiday in Cornwall the most cost effective way is to rent one of the many holiday cottages in Newquay. You don’t have to pay for every cup of coffee, drink or meal in a restaurant, café or bar – and let’s face it you don’t always feel like getting cleaned up and going out after a busy day walking or exploring. I have been to Cornwall many times and one of my favourite places is Newquay on the Atlantic coast. The town has a lively nightlife, lots of good restaurants, quaint inns – but it is also very close to lots of … Read More...

My best friend Emma turned up in a panic last night – she’s getting married in six months and although wedding preparations are well under way, she’d forgotten to do anything about a hen do. We put our heads together to try and decide the basics – where, when and who? Emma thought Dublin might be nice, but I had been for a weekend recently and found it prohibitively expensive. We knew some of our friends would have problems with the cost but would hate to miss out. We checked on the internet to get some ideas – there were all sorts of … Read More...

I travel to Cornwall fairly regularly both for business and pleasure and I have stayed in a fair few hotels in Newquay. Hotels in Newquay are the perfect base for a holiday in Cornwall whether you want to laze on the beach or explore the moors. You can visit any number of quaint fishing villages along this stretch of coastline – two of my favourites are St. Ives and Padstow. The coastal path runs through Newquay and it is possible to walk to the stunning Watergate Bay or Padstow to the north, or Perranporth and St. Agnes to the … Read More...

Well it all started in the pub one Friday night – me and a bunch of mates sitting around bemoaning the fact that the football season had finished. What were we going to do at weekends until the ‘footie’ started up again? After much discussion, we thought it might be fun to take up some new sport or hobby – the problem was what? There were various suggestions including crown green bowling, tennis and cricket. Then Pete said perhaps we should try something that didn’t involve a ball – very radical! A couple of pints later (the Beach Boys … Read More...

Well I finally popped the question and named the day and now all hell is breaking loose! Both mothers were fussing over venue, flowers, clothes, table plans and menus. I’m trying to keep out of it – I think the ladies should be left to their own devices on this one. I will buy a suit, the rings and organise the cars – and, of course, turn up at the church AND go on the honeymoon. I think that’s doing my bit. Now the stag do – that’s a bit more exciting! I broke the news of the impending wedding to my best mate and asked him to be my best man … Read More...
