    Self-Catering in Cornwall?

    Anyone recommend a Self-Catering place in Cornwall?

    It's for me the Mrs and our 6 Month old daughter, near a beach would be nice and in a 'quiet' area.
    Politicians are wonderfull people, as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, like working for a living!

    Most of Cornwall is Chav infested. Avoid Newquay.

      Get a caravan... you can't go wrong
      How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

        Polperro http://www.polperro.org/ is lovely, and just up the road is somewhere just as nice a bit bigger though...leu. I have a 3 and 5 year and we go every year. Lots to do sea/sand/walks/pubs/restuarants/monkey world etc.

        Avoid Newquay unless you are on a stagnight

          A bloke I worked with used to book the YHA family rooms and take quite a big family. Bargains compared to hotels and in good locations but you needed to book 12 months in advance to get the school hols slots.

            Me and missus Rup went to a self catering cottage just outside Padstow which was v nice...got from a site called english country cottages (see google). Lovely spot, plus the Rick Stein restaurants. Avoid the RS fish and chip shop if you want to avoid food poisoning though. 5 hr drive back to london was not fun after that.

                    I'd say south coast is better than north coast, but that's because I grew up there. Stayed in a place near St Mawes couple of years ago. Very nice. Charlestown is a nice harbour. Mevagissey is more touristy. Carlyon Bay has a great beach.

                    Loads of choice basically. But avoid the big towns like Newquay, Truro, St Ives, Penzance. Too many emmets.
