Set on the south coast of Cornwall, the site is surrounded by gorgeous beaches, the only difficulty will be choosing which to visit. There are seasonal dog bans in operation on some so please check before visiting.

For those keen to lace up their boots and get walking, there are plenty of fabulous trails and footpaths accessible directly from the site as well as cycle ways and an entrance to the world-renowned Lost Gardens of Heligan, for which guests receive an exclusive discount.

Head to the pretty fishing village of Mevagissey for a taste of Cornwall. Wander through the narrow alleyways, browse gift shops and art galleries before indulging in a tempting Cornish pasty.

However, you may find that sitting with a book, relaxing and soaking up the peaceful Cornish countryside is a more preferable way to spend your break.
