Itinerary

Newquay & the Cream of Cornwall – Turkey & Tinsel

Join us for some early Christmas celebrations in Newquay, where there’s plenty of festive-themed fun on offer at our hotel, from a traditional dinner with all the trimmings to nightly entertainment! Winter is a lovely time to enjoy the crisp clean air and explore the atmospheric streets of seaside towns and villages along Cornwall’s stunning coast and on this five-day break, we get to enjoy the best of them with excursions to Penzance, St Ives and Falmouth.

We head to Penzance, nestled in a sheltered position in beautiful Mounts Bay. The town boasts an attractive seafront promenade, sub-tropical gardens and award-winning Cornish pasties. Next is the Cornish holiday town of St Ives, a delight to explore all year round. Wander through the maze of cobbled streets admiring the pretty cottages, stroll along one of the sandy beaches or take in the artwork on display at the Cornwall branch of the Tate Gallery here.

For our optional excursion, we first visit the quaint fishing village of Port Isaac, made famous by Doc Martin and Fisherman’s Friends. Stroll through the narrow winding streets lined with whitewashed cottages and look out for one of the narrowest alleyways in Britain – ‘Squeezy Belly Alley’! We then continue to the charming port resort of Padstow. Famous for its connection to Chef Rick Stein (whose restaurant is based locally), the town is renowned for its harbour, from where you can enjoy some stunning views with a delicious pasty or some vinegary chips in hand. This evening we indulge in a traditional ‘Christmas’ dinner with all the trimmings back at the hotel.

It is home to the deepest harbour in Western Europe and other attractions include Pendennis Castle and the National Maritime Museum Cornwall plus charming cafés and shops. Back at the hotel this afternoon, we enjoy tea and Christmas cake.
