The exterior space of Woodcock House is just as impressive as the interior. You can step outside to your enclosed astro-turf garden with stunning lake and farmland views. You can take the garden path down to the terrace to enjoy the poolside terrace, lounging on top notch sunbeds and enjoying your holiday read and the fluffy monogrammed towels. The hot tub will have been filled with the warmest of water awaiting your arrival and the sauna completes this luxurious picture. There is easy access to the downstairs cloakroom for changing. The alfresco dining area is beautiful, and like the pool, enjoys uninterrupted lake views. The upper front terrace offers a private Cornish stone walled garden, a gorgeous secluded spot to enjoy the countryside vistas.

If you can bear to leave Woodcock House with its brilliant treats and the wonders of the Retallack Resort, a Cornish paradise and the renowned Cornish surf awaits. Watergate Bay and Mawgan Porth beaches are both within a 10 minute drive of home. The charming village of St Mawgan is situated four miles north of Newquay and 2 miles east of Mawgan Porth Beach. The thirteenth century St Mawgan Church is very pretty. Nestled in the wooded Lanherne Valley, the River Menalhyl runs through the village. The stunning and very tranquil Japanese Garden combines the beauty of nature with artistic refinement using shaping and styling of plants and natural elements. Mawgan Porth has a lovely sandy beach in a cove with a little stream running though which is great for the little ones. At low tide you can walk out to see the cliffs and rocks and enjoy all that fresh sea air. There are a number of cosy cafes and pubs across the road to enjoy as well as a wonderful art gallery.

Within minutes, guests can discover the delights of the very popular Padstow. Padstow is a charming working fishing port surrounded by glorious sandy beaches at the head of the Camel River. It is very much a foodie destination with Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant a popular choice. It is the start and end of the Camel Cycle Trail and a good base for watersports. Across the water is the wonderful town of Rock.  

Newquay has been voted ‘One of the Nation’s Favourite Seaside Towns’ in the prestigious Which Holiday Survey and won Gold for ‘Best Seaside Towns for Families 2019’ by Days Out with the Kids. The beaches and surf are renowned and the tourist entertainment is phenomenal. It is home to some of the world’s best watersports competitions with the Boardmasters Festival and surfing championships held in the resort. There are some wonderful spas in Newquay for relaxation, not to mention the fantastic restaurants to choose from. Children will be happy with Newquay Zoo, Lappa Valley, Pirate’s Quest, Oasis Fun Pools and the Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre amongst plenty of other attractions.

For an incredible, one-off, experience you can take a personal flight experience from Newquay Cornwall Airport. Flyngy Pilot Training gives you the opportunity to see Cornwall from a different perspective. You will enjoy its unique coastlines, cliffs and beaches as well as its rural villages and towns. Depending on the duration of your flight, you could see Newquay, St Ives, Boscastle, Falmouth, Truro, Bodmin, Padstow, St Austell and even the Eden Project. When you are not taking photos, your pilot will hand you the controls of your two seater Cessna 152, three seater Robin DR400 or four seater Piper PA28. Of course you will have a full flight briefing. What an experience!
