Well I am a bit behind with my blogging. This is due to a combination of both my laziness and being so busy. You would imagine that being busy would give me lots to blog but you would be mistaken. Regrettably it is work that takes up all my time. Ah well. Still in Halifax by the way!So anyway, I took my holdays in Cornwall this year. Pam and I based ourselves in Newquay and drove around Cornwall. For the most part we visited quaint, picturesque fishing villages like St Ives and Padstow. Padstow was probably the best day of the week - it was just....nice. It is famous for crab fishing and the TV chef Rick Stein has a restaurant there.
Unfortunately Newquay is not how I remember it. Either my memories are viewed through rose tinted spectacles or Newquay has chosen the Blackpool path of tourism. I fear that the latter is the case judging by the amount of Hen and Stag parties in evidence. I would definately go back to Cornwall but perhaps not Newquay. There is nothing there. If you don't want a curry or fish and chips to for your dinner then you have to book one of the remaining two restaurants in advance. This is not what you need on holiday. However, if you ever do find yourself in Newquay and hungry, I would highly recommend Lewinnick Lodge. The food was excellent and the views over the beach from the cliff top are spectacular.
Our hotel was a glorified B&B and grossly overpriced. They had a nice, modern bar but could have done with upgrading the rooms which appear to have been last refurbished in 1975. Nice view though!
