Had a great day there, visited the museum, entrance was free and it was a most interesting place. Also went to the aquarium again that was very interesting too. We sat by the harbour and had the best fish and chips I have ever tasted. The town was nice and clean, we had a thoroughly enjoyable day there.

Charming place. Loved the harbour and its front. Went twice during our stay and will be going back.

Stopped after visiting Truro on the bus. WOW! Views, sea etc are beautiful. Very strong winds, on a sunny day must be stunning! See why plenty of surfers. Restaurants/cafes are reasonable prices even for low earners. Gift shops shut so can't comment on prices but at 5pm in October the little village and beach were full of people and doggies, all enjoying. The local people were very friendly

St Ives

Show 2 customer reviews + Hide customer reviews -

St Ives use to be a town dependant on its large fishing industry however this now took a large back step due to the towns thriving touring industry. The opening of the Tate Gallery has lead to a number of galleries being opened and for St Ives to become known as one of Cornwall's most cultured towns.

The long narrow streets of St Ives are also filled with local shops, cafes and restaurants. St Ives is also home to some beautiful sandy beaches which offer some great surfing conditions.

Always rather busy, it's best to park and ride on the train, about a five minute journey but expensive at £8 each plus £2 for the car park. However, easier than parking in St Ives. Picturesque as ever and they have culled the most aggressive seagulls so a more pleasant experience than my last visit.

Added by Beth on 30/06/2011 08:24:08

A beautiful place to visit, I stayed in Mullion but spent the whole time here, next time will defiantly stay in St Ives, it has great places to eat, has good parking at affordable prices and has many tourist attracts, as well as beautiful beaches, is well worth the trip down the steep hills around it and there is a bus that will take you back to the car park if you don't feel like walking up.

Looe

Show 11 customer reviews + Hide customer reviews -

Looe town is situated on each side of the River Looe and is connected by a bridge from both sides. The east side of the town is the busiest with the Harbour and main shopping centre being situated there, on the west side it is a lot quieter with a few shops but nice restaurants.

Looe harbour is at the centre of what goes on in this town with local fish being caught every day then being served up in the local restaurants. Another attraction of the harbour is the boat trips which go out each day which give you the chance to explore a bit of the ocean.

Beautiful.

Added by Trisha on 26/09/2011 17:36:33

What a delight, lovely shops and bars people are very helpful and friendly, would definitely go again. Went into four pubs which were all very different. All served food and made us very welcome, in a word glorious.

Added by Carolyn on 25/09/2011 15:50:22

My favourite place in Cornwall - lovely harbour, excellent beach and a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants. Highly recommend Rivercroft for a meal.

Added by Richard on 04/08/2011 10:56:35

Lovely town and historic fishing harbour, had great fun crabbing with the family, great selection of shops and places to eat and drink. Very good clean beach.

Added by Paulyne Hutchins on 13/07/2011 20:25:20

Lovely traditional town. Great choice of restaurants.

Added by David Davies on 16/06/2011 10:33:49

I thought Looe was a great place to visit, good places to eat and plenty of car parking available at a price you can meet. It is also, a very safe beach for children to swim and play.

Added by Sandra Yarnall on 20/10/2011 23:26:36

There is a good variety of shops in Looe and some good eating places. There is a nice beach although it was too cold when we were there to go and sit on the beach .W e found parking was no problem as it was end of season when we visited but I think parking could be an issue in high season. Overall though a lovely little town.

Added by Angela Osborne on 16/10/2011 16:49:29

Love Looe very relaxing

Added by Paul Weeks on 12/10/2011 11:05:54

Very busy not able to park, so did not walk round, have done so before, liked town.

Added by K Murray on 09/06/2011 10:58:22

Lots of tourist type shops. There is a nice beach for the kids. We stayed at Looe Bay and attempted to walk into the town, not advisable. Very steep climb, not too bad walking down but a killer trying to walk back!! There is a bus from the caravan site that we could have used. Parking is a nightmare in the town at peak times.

Padstow

Show 6 customer reviews + Hide customer reviews -

Padstow is one of Cornwall's most vibrant and well known fishing towns, the fisherman pile into the harbour supplying local traders and restaurants with fresh fish.

Fish restaurants are becoming the trend in Padstow with many fine and popular restaurants opening, the most well known has to be Rick Stein's. Boat trips are also very popular in Padstow especially across the river to the gorgeous town of Rock, now known as Little Chelsea due to the influx of young and posh socialites.

Just as we remembered revisiting after thirty odd years. Great fishing village and quaint shops, had gorgeous cream tea in restaurant on the harbour front. They were very friendly and newly refurbished run by a Daughter and Mum. Can’t remember what it was called.

Added by Anne Whiting on 12/10/2011 14:04:31

Padstow is absolutely lovely; we sat at the harbour side and munched pasties from the shop round the corner – delicious. Don’t taste the same anywhere else. It was a nice day and we wandered up and down the quaint old streets, went in one of Rick Stein’s gift shops and bought a little present. A lovely day out! Would visit more often if we lived a bit nearer (bit far - Lancashire).

Added by Karen on 01/10/2011 07:21:34

A beautiful harbour, busy for the time of year, pasty shops a plenty with the yummy smells inviting you in. An extremely overpriced and overrated chip shop on the harbour front. I spent a few happy hours crabbing in the harbour, looking forward to my next visit.

Added by Karmann on 08/09/2011 18:37:59

Can't help it but just love Padstow could walk around it all day and then meander along the Camel Trail to eat my fish and chips. Unfortunately the one drawback is the parking!!!

Added by Paul Weeks on 12/10/2011 11:08:57

Very picturesque and interesting town, been many times before. Difficult to park, very expensive, very few reasonably priced places to eat; we can't all afford Mr. Stein's prices.

Added by LizC on 22/09/2011 21:29:37

We quite like Padstein as it's fondly referred to by locals. Quaint, with some good photo opportunities and the gift shops are a little more up market although with prices to match. You can park and ride which is a good option if you want to take a seal watching boat trip but the main car park with a steep walk down to the village wasn't busy.
