Hidden in the most beautiful part of Cornwall near St Mawes is a campsite with a difference. Really you don't want to tell anyone because it is magic. We have just spent half term in our campervan there. Wednesday night was fireside with poets, storytellers and songs. Many children got up and sang, told poems and jokes - even as young as three! To cap it all we had toasted marshmallows! Each morning the bell rings and out run the children to feed the animals, with owner Debbie. My children found soulmates and friends, climbed trees and hung out or just played swingball all with a sea view. You can't get better than that! In the summer artists and poets visit and run workshops. We are going back - it feels like home!

Head south to Cornwall to find a real gem of a canal walk. Bude Canal is different from other canals. Lobster pots are strewn across the bank, seagulls fly overhead, and the Atlantic salt gets deep in your lungs. Wander on a sunny day towards Summerleaze beach, as you head through lock gates onto the golden Cornish sands. The canal is a secret haven from the crowds, with a sea view! Ice creams on the beach finish this perfect summer stroll.

It's hard to find high quality accommodation in a stunning location, but Spinneywood has it all. Panoramic coastal views, a beautifully furnished and well-equipped property and an acre of private garden all to ourselves. We had a lovely holiday. I only wish we'd been able to stay for longer.
Probably the best views from a pub in Cornwall, beautiful views over the River Fal, Flushing, St Mawes and the ever moving Falmouth Harbour. Live jazz on Sundays, real guest ales, huge and very reasonably priced breakfasts (£3.99) and some very original art on the walls!
There is also free original beach binoculars to gaze at people on their boats or the quaint village of Flushing. A must for all visitors to Falmouth! Kids are also welcome before 7pm.
