The coast of north of Cornwall extends from Newquay in the south-west up to Bude in the north-east and is a true family holiday cottage destination that offers something for everyone. Stunning beaches of fine golden sand, isolated rocky bays, peaceful village pubs, history and romance - plus all the outdoor activity you can shake a stick at!
Situated as it is in the centre of this strip of coast, Camelford is the ideal holiday home base to explore this fascinating region. This small, but thriving little town is rich in history - some believe that Camelford was once the 'Camelot' of King Arthur fame - and you are within minutes of the coast and all the activity it has to offer. From here, you can travel north-east towards Bude with it ' s three mile stretch of award-winning beaches - fun for family and international surfers alike. At Port Isaac, you can watch the fishing fleet sail in and out of the small harbour, and find the day ' s catch on restaurant menus that night!
If you are the energetic kind, you can also surf at Newquay or fish from the beach at Rock, near Padstow. You can visit Shires Family Adventure Park and the Spirit of the West theme park, both near Wadebridge - or the Lappa Valley Steam Railway and the spectacular Blue Reef Aquarium in Newquay. Take the kids to Brocklands Adventure Park at Kilkhampton near Bude or visit the Dairyland Farm World near Newquay.

The historically-minded can explore spectacular medieval castles and country houses or soak up the romance of King Arthur's alleged birth-place at Tintagel with its castle ruins and wave-swept, rocky shore.
There are a wealth of holiday cottages available to let in North Cornwall, so the idea of a self catering holiday let is an extremely good one! Renting a cottage in the area can range from cheap to luxury prices and the price is very competitive with the national average. You can realistically expect to book a cottage with more beds than you will need for your party, meaning that friends can drop in during your stay.
When you journey out from your holiday cottage there are spectacular cliffs and lonely bays for a quieter experience as well as pretty ports and fishing villages along this exciting Atlantic coast. Why not visit the market town of Wadebridge or the pretty working port of Padstow where you can also dine at internationally-famous restaurants - but you had best book in advance as gastronomes come from all over the world to sample Rick Stein's delicious menu!
