DH and I are planning to go to Cornwall before the schools break up next summer but aren't sure of which bit.

We like peace and quiet, beautiful places, nice flat walks, and the occasional pub. smile

We're worried about booking a cottage and it being in a very popular spot.

Where would you suggest? Many thanks

We've had a drink in The Cobweb in Boscastle - what a lovely place. In Polruan (adjacent to Fowey) we used to visit The Headland Garden which is the garden of a privately owned house which the owner used to open up to the public one afternoon per week, charging a small entrance fee which she gave to charity. This garden is stunning. It meanders down the cliff top and the views of the estuary are spectacular. I'm not sure if the garden is still open as I believe the lady who owned it died last year.

Falmouth is lovely and St Ives then is just a few miles further. The Royal Duchy Hotel is fabulous in Falmouth, great service and food Cavan rally recommend it

Par on the south coast is level. The village is not touristy, it has proper shops pubs etc. The caravan park is Parsands (statics)
and there is a large dog friendly beach. Railway station for a rest from driving.
