Other highlights include St Ives, Penzance, and Padstow—plus, with all-inclusive drinks at the hotel, this break offers the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation!
Local departure by coach, then on to Newquay and the 4-star Esplanade Hotel for a four-night stay. Enjoy complimentary bar between 6:00pm – 9:00pm (selected brands) and live entertainment in the Elements Bar.
After breakfast, we set off for an exciting day uncovering Cornwall’s legendary pirates, smugglers, and ghostly tales.
Our first stop is the imposing Bodmin Jail, where a guided tour reveals the dark history of Georgian and Victorian crime and punishment, along with eerie stories of the Beast of Bodmin.
Next, we journey across Bodmin Moor to the famous Jamaica Inn, a historic smugglers’ haunt made famous by Daphne du Maurier’s novel. Here, we’ll explore the fascinating Smuggling Museum, browse the gift shop, and perhaps sample some local Cornish produce.
Our final stop is the charming fishing village of Port Isaac, renowned for its picturesque streets and as the filming location of Doc Martin. Take a leisurely stroll and soak up the timeless atmosphere of this coastal gem.
After breakfast, we head to the beautiful St Ives, famous for its stunning beaches and charming cobbled streets that lead to the picturesque harbour. It’s easy to see why this seaside town is so popular – you’ll have free time to explore or treat yourself to a Cornish ice cream.
Next, we visit the historic market town of Penzance, known for its pirate legends – at least the musical kind! Explore its bustling port and the Wharfside Shopping Centre, offering a mix of popular brands and local shops.
We’ll finish the day with a visit to Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm, where you can sample the flavours of a traditional cider brewery and enjoy a delicious Cornish scone cream tea.
After breakfast, we head to the picturesque Padstow, home to a bustling fishing port and beautiful sandy beaches. Watch the rhythm of Cornish harbour life unfold, and indulge in the town’s culinary delights, including Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant. Don’t forget to explore the local shops for souvenirs and fresh produce.
We return to the hotel for an included lunch, followed by an afternoon at leisure. Enjoy a refreshing walk along Fistral Beach, explore Newquay’s vibrant town centre, or simply unwind in the hotel – perhaps take a dip in the indoor pool or enjoy the stunning views from the lounge.
To top off the afternoon, we’ll treat you to a delicious cream tea at the hotel.
