Holidays in East Cornwall are all about breathing in the peaceful natural beauty of these ancient lands, getting outside and enjoying the fantastic beaches, pretty fishing villages and scenic walks, but also enjoying some excellent family friendly attractions, historic houses and good food.

Get off the beaten track in this lesser known part of the region, travel on the quiet rural lanes of the wild Rame Peninsula through beautiful farmland heading to the pretty coastal fishing villages of Kingsand and Cawsand with their soft sandy beaches, shops and galleries and stunning views across Plymouth Sound.  Or head to the west of Rame Head to find the beautiful three mile sweep of Whitsand Bay popular with families and surfers, and on to the equally lovely beaches at Portwrinkle, Downderry and Seaton.  

Inland you’ll find other fabulous locations for your East Cornwall holiday such as the pretty village of Calstock on the banks of the Tamar with its thriving arts scene and ideal location on the edge of Dartmoor for outdoor pursuits.  Or the wild expanses of Bodmin Moor which immediately take you back to times of highwaymen and smugglers but today also provide excellent walking, cycle paths and great places to eat.  

So plan your self-catering holiday in East Cornwall for some much needed downtime enjoying a slower pace of life, beautiful scenery, quiet beaches and excellent food.

Great afternoon beginners riding for our children. Staff helpful and knowledgeable.

August 2020

We had a great morning at Polmartin riding school. The staff were lovely and the horses clearly are lovingly looked after. We even got a postcard of our horses to take home as a souvenir, perfect for my horse mad 10 year old. We will be coming again!

Cotehele, National Trust

(9)

A Tudor house and estate with delightful collections, a garden and its own quay,  Cotehele was the ancestral home of the Edgcumbe family and is perched high on the hill above the River Tamar.  Decorated with tapestries, armour and lots of original features, the inside is testament to its adoring owners while outside there are formal terraces and a valley garden to get lost in, which includes a medieval stewpond and dovecote leading down to the river.  It’s peaceful and tranquil and a delightful place to explore while you’re visiting Cornwall, plus they have an excellent restaurant in the 15th century barn, serving homemade cakes, hot soups, wine, ale and lager.

Lostwithiel Museum

In a Georgian building on Fore Street, that was once the Corn Exchange, Lostwithiel Museum has also been a school room, a butchers, a magistrate’s court and the town jail in its time.  These days, things are a little less dramatic but no less interesting, housing the Guildhall, which is used for meetings of Lostwithiel Town Council, above the museum.  Showcasing the town’s local history with a number of displays including local ceramics, agricultural tools, wartime memorabilia, medals and minerals, it’s a charming introduction to the area and a charitable organization to visit when you’re in this pretty little town in Cornwall.
