If a break from the hum-drum of life is what you’re craving, book a holiday in St Merryn; one of Cornwall’s hidden gems. The region surrounding St Merryn includes an impressive five and a half mile stretch of coastline. There are outstanding clifftop hikes, post-card worthy bays and golden beaches all crowned by a grand Victorian lighthouse - a holiday here is hard to beat.
Located on Cornwall’s breath-taking northern coastline, with bustling Padstow two and a half miles to the west, St Merryn welcomes visitors all-year-round. There are seven seaside bays – one for each day of the week! Five of the seven bays allow dogs all year round, so you can bring your four-legged friend along too. Our collection of dog-friendly cottages in St Merryn means they can join you for days running about on the beach, bouncing through the seafoam surf.
Holidays in St Merryn aren't only about the beach. A walk up to the lighthouse at Trevose Head is a great way to spend time. Pack a picnic and sit on the clifftop for far reaching sea views dotted with fishing boats, seals and maybe a couple of dolphins playing in the waves below. Close by, the RNLI lifeboat station (open weekdays) is nestled into the craggy cliffs. Visit and learn all about the dangerous, adrenaline-fuelled rescues, and if you’re lucky you may be able to speak to one of the RNLI volunteers.
When you think of holidays in Cornwall, surfing comes to the forefront of your mind. Holidays in St Merryn are no exception, with nearby Harlyn Bay allowing you to experience an array of heart-racing watersports, including surfing, paddle boarding, coasteering and kayaking. This part of Cornwall offers some of the best waves in the country. If you want to give surfing a try, the staff at the surf school offer lessons on how to ride the waves and stay safe before you head out and have the time of your life.
If ocean fun isn’t your thing, the nearby South West Coast Path is a great way to spend a day or two lazily trekking at your own pace. Enjoy inspiring scenery stopping at historic pubs for lunch and a tipple along the way. There’s also the option for an adventure on horseback. Local stables offer accompanied walks and treks through the countryside and secluded lanes.
With amazing surfing experiences, golden beaches and picture-perfect scenery, holidays in St Merryn give you the opportunity to rest, relax and recharge.
