Easter in Cornwall


Easter is only a few weeks away ! Still considering where to go on holiday ?

So what will the parents want to do ? Relax in pleasant surroundings, eat nice food, want the children to be happy ?..........And the children ? Play, visit the Beach, have a go at Bodyboarding/Surfing ? Merlin Farm Holiday Cottages in North Cornwall should fit the bill nicely. 4-5* Family Friendly Cottages surrounded in Cornish Countryside a short walk from Mawgan Porth Beach, a superb lifeguarded beach where you'll find a great Surf School (http://www.kingsurf.co.uk). Merlin Farm as the name suggests has friendly farm animals; a donkey called Horace and Horses Bonney, Meg & Holly who roam in the fields in front of the cottages, happy to come up to the fence for a pat in return for carrots and apples ! Children can groom Horace donkey and take home a certificate, and pet the bunny (Smokey) and the guinea pigs (Toto & Blizzard). There is a small play area for under 6's too. Fabulous Restaurants are close by, celebrity Chefs Jamie Oliver's Fifteen at Watergate Bay, Rick Steins and Paul Ainsworth at Padstow to name a few. Book a week over Easter 29th March - 5th April and Children will recieve a surprise Easter Gift ! Easter themed suggestions on where to go and what to see can be found at http://www.merlin-farm-cottages-cornwall.co.uk/#!easter-breaks-cornwall/c1qen where you will also be able to check availability and rates.

Have a great Easter !
