    “My partner and I had a magical stay at Dot May.”

    Patsy is a wonderful host, thinking of the small details that make a stay truly special ,with fresh scones , jam cream and prosecco to wash it down upon arrival . The bed is super comfortable , the shepherds hut is finished to a beautiful standard . Its the most relaxing spot ,with fantastic hikes on foot from the door ,across the farm to lundy bay.

    Patsy is a wonderful host, thinking of the small details that make a stay truly special ,with fresh scones , jam cream and prosecco to wash it down upon arrival . The bed is super comfortable , the shepherds hut is finished to a beautiful standard . Its the most relaxing spot ,with fantastic hikes on foot from the door ,across the farm to lundy bay. A sunset walk to Ephaven cove and across to Doyden castle (fishermans friends movie ) along the unspoilt rugged Cornish coastline , really is magical and an absolute must . We felt so relaxed and enjoyed the peace of sitting with the blankets Patsy supplied , snuggled up by the fire-pit in total privacy . If you want to get back to nature and switch off ,then this is the stay for you . We will no doubt be back for another visit and more hiking . Thank you for the sunshine too ,what an added bonus . A gorgeous weekend away we will never forget .

POLZEATH

Wadebridge 7.5 miles; Padstow 16 miles.

The seaside village of Polzeath boasts a sandy beach, which is bordered by rock pools and is acclaimed to be one of the best surfing beaches in the country.

Just over seven miles away is the popular market town of Wadebridge, which is set alongside the River Camel and offers an array of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as North Cornwall's only family-owned cinema. There’s wonderful countryside in the area, with the renowned Camel Trail passing through the town, and the nearby town of Padstow, with its harbour, pastel-washed medieval houses and celebrated restaurants is well worth exploring. Within driving distance is the UK surfing capital of Newquay, with over 11 miles of golden sandy beaches. Polzeath is an excellent base for exploring this part of Cornwall.
