Walkers and those with a sense of adventure can enjoy the coastal paths and beaches just as much as those who want the traditional seaside beach holiday with sun, sea and sand.

Nearby beaches recommended by the Marine Conservation Society for water quality and with the benefit of RNLI Lifeguards, include Poldhu Cove, Praa Sands, Coverack, Carbis Bay, and Gyllyngvase at Falmouth.

Also recommended for water quality but without lifeguards are Polurrian Cove itself, Porthleven, Kennack Sands and many others further afield.

Garden enthusiasts have a treat in store with local garden estates open to the public, featuring exotic species that thrive in the climate here in the southernmost part of the UK.

We offer a special discount for golfers at Mullion Golf Club and complimentary green fees at Budock Vean, near Falmouth.

We can arrange horse-riding or cycle-hire, or a host of other sporting activities – just contact the Reception team for more details.

For a family day out or for sightseeing, you could explore Mullion harbour, Trenance chocolate factory, the RNAS Culdrose viewing area for plane enthusiasts, Flambards, Gweek Seal Sanctuary, Poldark Mining, Roskilly's Dairy Farm & Ice Cream Parlour, The Marconi Centre and Cornish Camels (yes, really!).

Rain or shine, there is a wealth of choices nearby to meet the needs of even the most active families. We keep a range of leaflets and local information in the Reception and in the Leisure Club and we will be delighted to research any other options you may want to investigate.
