At St Merryn Park, you need imagine no more. Just a stone's throw from Padstow, renowned for its Michelin-starred restaurants, chic eateries and picturesque harbour and framed by the Seven Bays, St Merryn Park, owned and operated by Valley Resorts, is open all year round so you can stay in your holiday home as often as you like, and at a moment's notice. With a selection of both new and pre-owned holiday lodges for sale, the choice is yours. If you want something created bespoke for you, then new lodges start at £145,000. Or perhaps you're looking for an established rental income from an existing lodge? That's no problem, St Merryn Park will have something for you. Lodges are supplied by the UK's top lodge manufacturers. All are, of course, built to British Standard BS3632 and offer the

ultimate in modern design and coastal comfort. With a number of show lodges available for purchase now, plus the release of a new phase at St Merryn that is available to pre-order, you'll be wowed by what's on offer. And the best of it is... everything is included in the price, from the clock to the cooker!

All homes have access to the park's facilities and come with some amazing benefi ts, not least the unparalleled Cornish beauty that surrounds them.

St Merryn is where lifelong memories can be made and a place of peace you can visit again and again. There are plenty of on-site facilities; little ones will love the children’s play area, and for active adults there are football and tennis courts. Dogs aren’t left out either – St Merryn prides itself on being dog friendly and there’s even a dog walking area for your furry friend. A handy shop is stocked with all the essentials or, for a night off the cooking, why not treat yourself to a meal at the park’s pub and diner, The Venue?

Step outside the park, and the whole of the glorious Camel Estuary and surrounding north Cornish coastline opens up before you. The South West Coast Path offers endless miles of cliff top trails, where you can see seabirds circling overhead and look out for local seals basking in craggy coves. For the more adventurous, watersports abound in this area of Cornwall. Whether it’s surfi ng on one of the world class beach breaks, kayaking or paddle boarding, each of the Seven Bays of Trevone, Harlyn, Mother Ivey’s, Booby’s Constantine, Treyarnon and Porthcothan offers an ocean playground just waiting to be explored.

North Cornwall has also become somewhat of a foodie destination in recent years and there are a plethora of restaurants and cafés to enjoy. From high-end dining at Paul Ainsworth at No6 and Nathan Outlaw’s New Road and Fish Kitchen to more easy-going, but equally delicious offerings from Prawn On The Lawn, The Rocket Store and The Atlantic Bar and Kitchen, there are culinary delights at every turn. Valley Resorts has three other sites across the Duchy, all run with the same ethos in mind – to ‘live the Cornish dream’. Towan Valley, is a striking collection of eco-style cottages tucked away in a peaceful Cornish valley, just a short walk from the surfi ng beach at Porthtowan. Phase Two is arriving at Towan for next season, so now couldn’t be a better time to think about investing in a holiday home here. Head a little further up the coast and you’ll fi nd Leycroft alley nestling deep in a wooded valley close to the golden sands and secluded coves of Perranporth and St Agnes. This is a magical base for friends, families and their four-legged companions looking to relax and enjoy Cornwall’s beach life. Last, but by no means least, is the recently acquired, popular south Cornwall beach resort, Millendreath. Comprising a collection of luxury self-catering apartments, a south-facing beach, and 65 glorious acres of private woodland.

HOME FOR

THE SEASON

Looking ahead to keep up with the evergrowing demand for Cornish holidays.

There’s no doubt about it – this season has been exceptional for the travel and tourism industry here in the UK. 62% of Brits have chosen to enjoy their main holiday in the UK this year, and with Cornwall in the top three holiday destinations, it’s unsurprising that one of the leading self-catering agencies in the region, Cornish Cottage Holidays, has seen accommodation occupancy levels at capacity for much of the summer.

With over 900 cottages across Cornwall, Cornish Cottage Holidays has over 50 years of experience in holiday letting, but as Commercial Development Manager, Andrew Exelby says: “The season has been unlike any we have experienced before. Throngs of people have been looking to enjoy all Cornwall has to offer… even the world leaders descended on the county this summer, a true honour!”

It’s not just the peak summer months that have proven popular either – bookings for Cornish Cottage Holidays properties for October Half Term are already a massive 25% up. Looking ahead to 2022, the local company is already seeing accelerated numbers of bookings and enquiries, suggesting another momentous year is to come!

With these overwhelmingly positive statistics, for those thinking of letting their holiday home there has never been a better time to start this adventure. But what do people look for in a holiday let in these postpandemic times? Making your property pet-friendly will defi nitely add appeal, and properties with hot tubs have also grown in demand. But if a hot tub seems a stretch too far, the top three sought-after features that will set your property in good stead are a little more easily achieved: a garden and outdoor space, a good location within close proximity to the beach, and lastly, good Wi-Fi.

With demand for holiday accommodation outstripping supply, the team at Cornish Cottage Holidays are actively seeking new self-catering properties in Cornwall to add to their portfolio ahead of the 2022 season. If you are considering letting and would like more information on setting up your holiday home, their new property consultants would be delighted to help. Whether you are looking for income projections and booking forecasts, advice on helping your property to achieve its full income potential, or a full inventory tick list of everything your holiday home will need, the team would love to hear from you.
