Short Breaks

In Cornwall, summers last longer, spring arrives early and winters are mild. A holiday or break out of season is the ideal time to enjoy the real Cornwall - spectacular countryside, historic houses, ancient pubs and inns, fabulous gardens and coastal walks.

 

And where better to spend your out of season break than The Green Door Cottages and Tregudda Apartments.

We offer three-night weekend and four-night mid-week short breaks.

Autumn

The air is clean and crisp - the perfect time for walking. Take in the golden hues of autumn, the invigorating atmosphere of deserted beaches, or the fabulous views from the North Cornwall Coast Path.

We always enjoy excellent bonfire night celebrations in the village and guests are welcome to join the festivities.

Winter

The crowds have gone and the roads, beaches and moorlands are clear. You can still visit some of the famous Cornish attractions, but without the crowds.

We very often have dramatic storms - coming straight off the Atlantic Ocean. It's very exhilarating and, from a safe distance, you can enjoy the spectacular sight of massive waves breaking over 200ft cliffs. Winter also sees the pantomime at Port Isaac, which, last year, featured local celebrity, Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen! By New Year, the first snowdrops are out and daffodils are in bud.

Spring

By the end of February, the hedgerows and cliff tops are full of spring flowers - crocuses, daffodils and primroses followed by valerian and thrift. The days are becoming longer and the famous gardens of Cornwall are ablaze with early flowering camellias, magnolias, azaleas and rhododendrons. By early April, lambs are taking their first steps on the lush green grass.

Late spring sees the St Endellion Music Festival at the Collegiate Church. The May Day celebrations in Padstow are also well worth a visit. Summer is welcomed in by the release of the famous Obby Oss - one of the most ancient festivals in the country.
