Favourite local beach. Good surf here or at neighbouring Booby's bay, and best dog walking beach. Grab a coffee from our neighbour Tom's coffee truck on the beach - Coastal Coffee. Head to Connie Bay Stores en route for pastries.. but get there early.

Best local pub. Rick Stein pub food + good beer garden when it's sunny.
You can walk through fields from our house to get there - go right at the end of the drive, walk straight towards the dead end and you'll see a public footpath sign. Walk straight through the fields to the church, and the pub is next to the church.

Proper local fish and chips, but legendary! Sit on the deck to eat it, or take it to Trevone Beach for our favorite sheltered evening beach spot.

Best scones in the area. Very cute national trust-vibe cafe. Ideal for a sandwich or scones and tea, with a coastpath walk to see the epic bedruthan steps. Keep dogs on leads and remember the steps down to the beach are closed but we think the view is better from the top anyway!

You’re spoilt for choice if you want famous chefs and fancy meals in Padstow. We like Rojanos - amazing quality Paul Ainsworth food but a bit more casual. Great for a date night.

If you want to see Padstow, this is the best coffee and brekkie around. Gets super busy in peak season. We'd recommend heading in early, picking up takeaway and walking up to the obelisk / to Hawkers Cove to escape the crowds.

Amazing if you have kids. Have a coffee whilst the kids meet the animals and play in the playground, or go for pizzas and beers whilst the kids play. They’ve got a new chef for the 2023 so could be great food too.
