Cornish Quay Holidays |
|
Cornish Quay Holidays is a family business providing a wide range of holiday properties in a particularly beautiful part of Cornwall. Started in 1974, the business has been run by our family for 30 years. Our properties are carefully supervised and we find it very rewarding that a large number of our previous visitors return each year. Cornwall is particularly lovely in the spring and autumn when the changing colours add to the natural beauty of the landscape. This is an excellent time to visit as the low rents make off peak holidays exceptional value for money. Some of the properties are available throughout the winter which is rarely cold in Cornwall. The first of the spring flowers are usually out in late January or early February and the sea can be really dramatic. It is a great time to have a holiday if you have a spare week or even a few days. We do hope you will be able to enjoy a holiday with us and get to know this un-spoilt corner of Cornwall. |

About the Area |
|
Fowey & Polruan - The River Fowey rises high on Bodmin Moor and winds its way across Cornwall to where it meets the sea on one of the most beautiful and unspoilt parts of the south coast, much of which is owned and protected by the National Trust. A passenger ferry provides a vital link between Polruan and Fowey and allows easy exploration without the use of a car. Narrow winding streets, old buildings and country lanes provide a picturesque setting and whether you want an active holiday or just a few days in the sun |

|
the area is ideal. There are numerous lovely walks which are a superb way to enjoy the outstanding natural beauty of the area. The Hall Walk, Saints Way and South West Coast Path are the most well known but with a good map the possibilities are endless. |
|
|
Lerryn - Lerryn is a beautiful unspoilt village at the tidal limit of one of the creeks of the River Fowey. It is said to have some of the loveliest river scenery in Cornwall. The vista changes constantly with the tide and the tranquility is disturbed only by the birds and the occasional boat. The ducks are so tame they can be fed from the hand. The sixteenth century bridge crosses the river just upstream from the stepping stones which provide an alternative crossing at low tide. From the stepping |

stones, a path leads to a beautiful walk through the National Trust's Ethy Wood and on to St Winnow - a tiny riverside hamlet with a lovely waterside church. |
|
Lostwithiel - Lostwithiel, the ancient capital of Cornwall, stands on the banks of the beautiful River Fowey about seven miles from the sea. Around Lostwithiel, there are many interesting places to visit. Restormel Castle, the one time seat of Richard Earl of Cornwall is within a pleasant walk of the town. Several riverside footpaths lead from the town and local guide books are available. The coves and beaches on the south |

coast and the ancient port of Fowey are within fifteen minutes drive and the historic harbours of Charlestown and Mevagissey are about 30 minutes away. Lostwithiel is an ideal centre for a holiday exploring Cornwall and all parts are readily accessible by road. |
|
|
Looe - Originally two towns separated by the river, the historic fishing port of Looe is renowned for its sheltered beaches, quaint old buildings and labyrinth of narrow streets. Looe is still a busy fishing port with all the hustle and bustle concentrated in East Looe where the quayside is laden with nets and floats and catches are auctioned in the market. |
|
East Looe has the sandier of the town s two beaches. The beach at Hannafore is rocky with a host of pools for children to explore. Whichever side of the river you stay both beaches are within easy reach via the road bridge or ferry boat. |
|
Downderry - Downderry is a small village in a beautiful location on the south coast of Cornwall just four mile from Looe. There is a large beach with sand and shingle ideal for children in summer or a quiet stroll in winter. The whole area boasts stunning sea views to St George's Island in the West, Rame Head in the East and on a clear day you can see the famous Eddystone lighthouse some 9 miles from shore. |
