it is lovely there we go every year to Polzeath Port Issaac is pretty so are most of the ports and bays you could go to the Eden project depending how far away from it you are, and of course Boscastle is now open again such a pretty little place, there are tons of things to do if you have the energy, have a lovely time

Hi Looe, Polperro and Perinporth just to name a couple, there is a lovely cafe in Perrinporth that does a proper sunday lunch with real food not frozen, my partner and l really enjoyed that. We tend to spend more time in Cornwall than Devon

Waveyone- I always stay in Penmere Hill, Falmouth - I love the area, Gyllyngvase beach, Maenporth etc. My late, nearly father-in-law lived in Playing Place so I got shown round lots of lovely little places, Durgan, Gunwalloe church cove - went round the church in the dark, spooky. Might be coming down this year sometime. I do envy you.

Hi My hubby's family are all from Plymouth. We love going to Looe and Polperro. All the little fishing villages are lovely - very touristy but lovely at night time on a warm summer night. If you go near Plymouth - try to visit Plymouth Hoe, just to take a photo and say you've been there if anything. Anyarea down Cornwall is lovely, but some are very hilly, so be carefull. Enjoy your holiday... Vikki xx

We always stay near Looe and Polperro... beautiful places! Plenty of places to visit and everywhere you go you are sure of a warm welcome! Mevigessey is a must for a visit...really quaint fishing village with roads so narrow you can only just get your car through and then you feel you have to breathe in!! I just love the place and cant wait to get there in 7 weeks! Bev x
