So first thing in the morning I phoned the next Hotel to see if we could arrive a day earlier than planned and thankfully they could accept us. So we packed our bags and made our excuses and left this rubbish pub –hotel and then walked across the road to a Deli purchase some sandwiched for lunchtime and then Jennifer visited the local church for a quick look around.
We took the side roads down to the the end of the UK called Lands End and it was pretty much deserted of tourist except a Asian group but we still had to pay £ 5 for car parking although just about everything was closed off. We took a few photos and then about an hour later again took the small country roads along the coast in the direction of Padstow where we are due to spend the next few days at the Trevoso Golf Club in a place called Saint Merryn which is right on the coast. see link below.
On the way our route took us via St Ives, Redruth and Newquay. We thought that Newquay was a bit depressing and looked rather rundown and was full of pubs and takeaways and grotty looking Hotels and so very glad we had decided to to spend anytime there although we did stop off at a Tesco for a little shopping. This coast benefits from strong winds and sees which make this area a must for surfers.
For lunch we stopped in a small bay called Saint Agnes which was quite busy with surfers and then on the way up the small road we spotted a row of houses built up a hill, quite interesting really.( see photo)
We arrived at the Golf Club late afternoon and went to our apartment which was a one bedroom with full kitchen and walk in shower ( great says Noel)
After checking in we went for dinner in the club restaurant and the food and presentation was very good and so what a difference between this place and the The Commercial. We have learnt our lesson about staying on old historic pubs.
