planning your holiday

We know that the first few days of a holiday can be tied up with lot of organisation and logistics, so if you would like to arrange a few things in advance please read on:

Firstly if you are staying in the Red or Blue House your holiday price includes; the use of all facilities, including the Link, electricity, underfloor central heating, a large load of logs for the wood-burner, cotton bed linen, towels (please bring your own beach/hot tub towels), a cream tea, fresh flowers, and if you are staying for a week a bottle of Cornish wine and more.

For the yurt your holiday price includes a cream tea, fresh flowers, a large load of logs for the wood-burner, cotton bed linen, please bring your own towels, and if you are staying for a week a bottle of Cornish wine and more. It also includes the use of the Link for hot showers and an extra area for cooking and eating.

Tesco Direct can deliver groceries, and if let us know in time we can unpack and store any food ready for your arrival.

If you are planning some cooking and healthy eating you could arrange for an organic 'veg box' from Riverford Farm which is delivered on a Friday, (even though on their website it states that they deliver on a Wednesday!) We use them and can recommend the quality of their fruit and veg.

This site detailing all food from Cornwall is well worth a look www.foodfromcornwall.co.uk

You could also try some excellent organic meat from the Russell family at Churchtown Farm nearby, telephone 01726 870375, ideal for barbecues.

Our local pub is the Ferry Inn at Bodinnick which is a twenty minute walk away or the Ship Inn at Lerryn which is a 15 minute drive, there are also good local pubs and excellent restaurants in Fowey.
