Things to do during your stay
Our holiday cottages are only 10 minutes away from just about the best Cornwall has to offer for sailing, wind surfing, surfing and water skiing at Rock, Polzeath and Daymer Bay.
Beaches of North Cornwall
A short drive will take you to numerous sandy beaches offering safe bathing, surfing and sailing.
For all the family, beaches such as Rock, Port Isaac, Crackington Haven, Trebarwith Strand and Port Gaverne. A little further west, Polzeath, Trevone, Harlyn (pictured above) and Constantine are also perfect.
The Camel Trail
This is arguably the most successful recreational multi use trail in the UK. The Camel Trail is a 19 mile route that follows the beautiful Camel River from Padstow to Poley's Bridge inland.
Also suitable for cycling, with bike hire available at several locations nearby.
Port Isaac to Port Gaverne
This walk enables you to explore two idyllic harbour side villages and the lovely wooded countryside between them.
Port Isaac has classic Cornish character by the boat load - clusters of tiny whitewashed cottages, narrow twisting lanes and the lovely scent of freshly-caught fish. Port Isaac is also where the popular series Doc Martin is set.
Boscastle
Three Inns, three Rivers, three Churches, and a most popular harbour. A great day out in Cornwall, with excellent facilities, historic harbour, parking, public toilets, shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants, stunning scenery and breathtaking views.
Tintagel and the Rocky Valley
Take a peek at the castle ruins in Tintagel before setting out south along the coast path towards Boscastle. The views of the coastline throughout this walk are spectacular. Along the way you'll come across a ruined village and Bronze Age carvings.
Padstow
A passenger ferry runs from Rock (just a 8 minute drive from Tolraggott and Dinham Farms) to Padstow and is very popular with our guests. Traditionally a fishing port, Padstow is now a popular tourist destination on the north coast of Cornwall.
The town is situated on the west bank of the River Camel estuary approximately five miles northwest of Wadebridge. Here you can enjoy spectacular scenery, picturesque walks around the harbour and many shops and restaurants, which include the world famous Rick Steins Seafood Restaurant.
