http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34138 It’s a good few years since we pedalled the five miles to Padstow along the trail from Wadebridge. However it was the highlight of our camping holiday in Cornwall. Our daughters were at the upper end of primary school and the flat ride beside the estuary provided a day without the constant cries of, “What shall we do next?” There was plenty to see along the way and Padstow itself provided lots of choice for refreshment (along with a ferry trip across the estuary and a short spell on the beach).]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34138 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27048
There's also a great pizza restaurant overlooking the harbour. It's located in the first floor of a building above an ice-cream cafe.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27048 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23262 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23262 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19973
We stayed in a very well-equipped four bedroom bedroom property, ideal for a large family like ours or multiple groups.

Given that the weather was truly awful for virtually the whole week, the standard of the accommodation, the onsite facilities and the friendly, helpful staff saved the holiday.

The only gripe with the facilities was the poor quality 'golf' course.

Easy access to Padstow (we took a taxi when going for an evening meal) and surrounding beaches / amenities (if only the rain had relented).]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19973 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19972
Catered very well to our diverse requirements - two adults, two older children and two younger ones, including someone allergic to seafood.

Excellent friendly service. The food was fresh and well presented. Were able to enjoy coffee in the reading room waiting for the obligatory summer rainfall to subside.

Leave plenty of time prior to your reservation to find a parking space and for walking.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19972 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18364 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18364 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18267 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18267 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18010
Another tip, avoid the hordes and head for the back streets - the Rick Stein Cafe (his 'third' restaurant) has his trademark great food, is very child-friendly, and doesn't take bookings. On the day we were there (a gloriously sunny August day) we had to wait for 20 minutes, which was a shorter than the queue for his fish and chips takeaway!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18010
