Itinerary
Day 1 Sit back, relax and enjoy a comfortable journey south-west with convenient refreshment stops along the way. As the scenery softens into rolling countryside and coastal vistas, anticipation builds for your Cornish escape. We arrive at the welcoming Barrowfield Hotel, your home for the next four nights. Ideally located for exploring the coastline, the hotel offers warm hospitality and a relaxed atmosphere — the perfect setting to unwind after your journey.
Day 2 Today we discover the coastal elegance of Penzance, famous for its swashbuckling pirate folklore and surprising subtropical charm. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, palm trees sway along the promenade, giving this corner of Cornwall an almost Mediterranean feel. Across the sparkling waters lies the iconic St Michael's Mount — a fairytale tidal island crowned by a medieval castle. Capture photographs, enjoy a leisurely stroll along the seafront, or simply savour a delicious Cornish ice cream while soaking in the view. On our return, we call at Healeys Cyder Farm, Cornwall’s largest independent cyder producer. Browse the farm shop, sample traditional blends and perhaps pick up a bottle of your favourite vintage to take home.
Day 3 Enjoy a free day in Newquay, one of the nation’s favourite seaside resorts. Relax at one of the delightful beachside eateries or immerse yourself in the surf and spray of Fistral beach, perfect for watching the world go by. You might also browse the charming independent shops or take a scenic stroll along the coastal path to soak in the spectacular views.
Day 4 Prepare to be amazed as we visit the extraordinary Eden Project — one of the UK’s most celebrated attractions. Step inside the vast Rainforest Biome, alive with lush greenery, exotic scents and cascading waterfalls. Wander through the Mediterranean Biome, bursting with vibrant blooms and seasonal crops. Outside, explore sweeping gardens, art installations and immersive plant-based exhibits that change beautifully with the seasons. A truly inspiring and uplifting day out.
Day 5 After a leisurely breakfast, we bid farewell to the Cornish coast. Relax on the return journey with comfort stops en-route, reminiscing about palm-lined promenades, dramatic shorelines and unforgettable attractions. You’ll return home refreshed, inspired and already dreaming of your next escape.
