Set on a pretty hilltop surrounded by lush farmers’ fields, holidays in St Mabyn offer you the chance to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and fill you days with country walks and cosy evenings in a country pub. 

But there’s much more to St Mabyn than initially meets the eye. Set between Bodmin Moor and the north coast, just three miles east of Wadebridge, holidays here offer you a gateway to several of Cornwall’s most loved beaches, attractions and must-visit villages. Wake up in one of the village's pretty old cottages, start the day with a stroll to the community-run village shop to stock up on tea and toast, then start planning the day’s adventure. 

If you’re spending your summer holiday in St Mabyn, head to the coast for surf sessions, balmy beach days and coastal walks; Polzeath, Daymer Bay and Rock beach are all just eight miles away. Hire bikes from Wadebridge and cycle the beautiful estuary-side tracks of the Camel Trail to Padstow for fish and chips and a Doom Bar ale or a fresh fruits-de-mer platter at Rick Stein’s. Or pedal the other direction to explore Bodmin, one of Cornwall’s oldest towns. Picture-perfect Port Isaac is also only a 15-20 minute drive away where you can visit Doc Martin’s House, browse the trinket shops and galleries, and enjoy a fresh crab sandwich or piping Cornish pasty while soaking up the views.

If you choose to holiday in St Mabyn outside of the high season, there’s still lots to do. Head to the rugged wilds of Bodmin Moor to hike the tors and spot moorland ponies, before heading home to the St Mabyn Inn, where you’ll be greeted with a roaring fire, well-kept ales and a big plate of locally-sourced, seasonal home cooked food. Wadebridge is also well worth a visit whatever the weather, with its plethora of pubs, restaurants, shops and supermarkets, as well as a leisure centre, cinema and weekly street market.

Non designated parking is on the road opposite the property or in the small community village car park.

Lovely for a drink, but nothing much for vegetarians.

September 2022


The food here is excellent, we ate in the beer garden - don't need to book but worth getting here early to get a place. The pub and village are very picuresque.

September 2021


Fabulous and very interesting cuisine and attentive staff. My only meat of the week. A stunning barbecued pork chop with the most amazing flavour preceded by raw brill with pickled rhubarb and hazelnuts drizzled with chive oil

June 2021


The perfect Cornish pub in a wonderful village setting. A tranquil and magical place in January. Authentic interiors, open fire, local gin, beers and delicious food. This is a real unspoiled gem. Long may it remain so. I will return every time I visit Cornwall.

Camel Trail
Camel Trail
(4 miles)

(2)

Perfect for cycling, the Camel Trail is an 18-mile largely traffic free, surfaced and virtually level, multi-use trail that you can use to explore the Cornish countryside. The track brings back to life a disused railway line that runs between Wenfordbridge, Bodmin and Padstow. It's ideal for bicycles, wheelchair users, horse riders and walkers, and is broken down into three main sections set up to around six miles each, which is probably more manageable than the total 18 miles, on an average day at least! It's free to use, bike hire is available at Padstow, Wadebridge, Bodmin and Wendfordbridge and toilets are in situ along the trail and in Padstow town centre.

Flat 6 miles walk from Wadebridge to Padstow (or Padstein as we called it!). Plenty to look at but no facilities, there was a closed cafe 2 miles short of Padstow. Lots of cyclists so listen out for them.

Great cycle trail for the whole family.

Port Gaverne
(6 miles)

(3)

A sheltered beach on the north Cornwall coast, Port Gaverne Beach is in a narrow cove just east of Port Isaac.  It’s comprised of sand and shingle with lots of rock pools to explore at low tide.  In the summer months it can get quite busy given the popularity of the location and its suitability for families.  Surrounding walks along the cliff path are delightful and at high tide the beach is favoured by divers.  There’s also a slipway and it’s sometimes used to launch boats because of the easy access from the road.  Thanks to it proximity to Port Isaac half a mile away facilities and restaurants are nearby, and the beach welcomes dogs all year round.  You can also park in the village although there is limited road parking by the beach itself.

beautiful and great fish and chips !

Excellent place to run the dog at sunset. Good walk on teh headland too. Could park right next to the beach.

Port Isaac Beach
(6 miles)

(2)

Since the arrival of Doc Martin on the small screen, Port Isaac has soared in popularity, and the pretty little village with the historic harbour, which also serves as the beach, has become instantly recognisable.  Still an active fishing village with crab pots scattered about, the sand stretches between twin piers at low tide and has a small stream and lots of rock pools to explore, so it’s ideal for children.  Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round, and as it’s at the centre of the village there’s easy access to shops and all facilities including public toilets.  The car park for the town is a 10-minute walk away, and while there are a couple of parking spaces on the beach itself, just make sure you park above the high water mark, or keep an eagle eye on the tide!

Lovely setting worth a look,dog friendly.

July 2022


Worth a visit, about half a mile walk from the car park, the return journey is quite steep but there is a shuttle taxi for those less able to manage the walk. Beautiful little harbour beach and of course doc Martin’s surgery. We ate in the hotel beer garden, food and drink was nice and reasonable priced.

September 2021


Port Quin
(7 miles)

(1)

A rocky beach in a narrow, sheltered cove, Port Quin Beach is close to Port Isaac, and is only accessible at low tide.  Its rugged landscape is beautiful to see, but its location means that it’s largely popular with seasoned walkers and those looking to go snorkeling and kayaking.  Unspoiled and peaceful, it reveals a treasure trove of rock pools when the tide is out, and the nearby village is largely deserted, having once had thriving fishing and mining industries.  Today both the cove and the village are owned by the National Trust and there is a car park courtesy of them in Port Quin.  Dogs are banned between Easter and October, and there aren’t any facilities nearby – it’s all about enjoying the peace and quiet.

Could park nearby and enjoyed a cream tea from the 'Salt Pig' van in the carpark. Paddled here and ran the dog one evening, and walked a bit more of the coast path.

September 2019


Tregardock Beach
(7 miles)

Best known as a surf beach, Tregardock Beach is only accessible by footpath, which offers beautiful views of the water and Port Isaac as you head down.  It is quite a stroll and the terrain is bumpy, so it’s not an ideal beach to visit with children.  The path can also get quite muddy, so keep an eye on the weather.  There’s a seasonal ban on dogs from Easter to September, and there aren’t any facilities in the immediate vicinity of the beach.  When the tide goes out, several small beaches become one long stretch of sand, and there’s a waterfall cascading down the cliffs at the back of the beach as well as caves to explore, so it really is a little paradise hidden in the landscape.  Because it’s not easy to access, it’s usually quiet at this beach, but parking along the roadside near the farm at Treligga is very limited, so it’s a good idea to head over as early as possible and make sure you don’t get cut off at high tide.

Rock Beach
(8 miles)

(1)

Rock beach is a beautiful long white sand beach located on the mouth of the Camel Estuary. This Area of Outstanding natural beauty is a haven for wading birds and the prefect spot for a swim in the clear blue waters or a picnic admiring the fantastic views. The beach is backed by sand dunes, please try to avoid walking on the dunes and keep to the footpaths where provided as there has been a huge amount of erosion in recent years. Dogs are welcome on the beach all year round and there is easy access to shops and all facilities including public toilets. Parking can be found in the car park just behind and access is via a ferry slipway or steps.
