That is exactly what someone once said to me. I was sitting in the travel agent's a few years casually flipping through a magazine featuring Great British Family Holidays and this voice came out of nowhere saying, "If you're looking for holiday gold, mate, you need look no further than Cornwall. The family'll love it."
That's a bit of a tall order - but I am happy to say there is one region in the UK that more than accommodates such a quest. The area is Cornwall and it ticks many, many holiday-search boxes. What is more, Cornwall, and Crylla Valley in particular, has such diversity it makes it a great holiday destination for families young and old, romantic-break couples, or groups of friends looking for some weekend fun.
The beaches of course need mentioning simply because the Cornish coastline is the longest in the whole of Britain and is blessed with the widest and sandiest beaches you could wish for. Seaton, the Bay of Whitsand, the beach and harbour and famous fish and chips at Looe, the serious surfing at Fistral, the touch of history and nostalgia of smuggling days and fishing tales of old to savour at Kingsand and Cawsand, the family-fun beaches at Watergate Bay and Polzeath offering plenty of bucket and spade and rockpool adventures - these are just some of the great beaches to enjoy. But as well as that there's the many lovely villages and towns to visit, not least the city of Plymouth; there's The Eden Project and all its flora and fauna and green house-growing pineapples; the zoos of Paignton and Dartmoor; Kartworld in Liskeard, and you can even go tree surfing up in the treetops in Tavistock!
There are many other fantastic attractions to visit that all the family will enjoy, for starters there's Dartmoor Zoo for the widest variety of big cats in the southwest; Donkey Park for Cornwall's happiest donkeys; Porfell Wild Life Park and its 100s of exotic creatures and the amazing caverns of Carnglaze. Then there's the Plymouth Marine Aquarium and its 6 main zones: Explorocean, The Shallows, Atlantic Reef, Meditteranean Sea, Weird Creatures and Coral Seas. Each zone is packed full of amazing Marine Creatures and fantastic facts for you to find. Check out the oceans' strangest creatures and marvel at the beauty of the Coral Reef and remember; the more you look, the more you'll see.
Staying in Crylla Valley also provides you with the chance to enjoy one of Cornwall's premier leisure facilities otherwise known as the China Fleet Golf & Country Club. Ideal for any holidaymaker seeking some heated indoor swimming fun time, you can also enjoy racquet sports, a children's fun zone, hot tub, sauna, steam room and much more. As well as that you can also enjoy discounts on the food & beverage, spa treatments & 18-hole Championship golf course.
