Once again we are returning to this very beautiful part of the UK which has always proved to be extremely popular. We will be cruising from Rosslare at 0900 and our overnight stop in both directions is the 3 star AA Webbington Hotel and Country club. This hotel is on the southern slopes of the Mendip Hills, overlooking the picturesque hamlet of Loxton. The Webbington is an elegant country house with its own fully equipped leisure club. View their virtual reality tour on www.latonahotels.co.uk

We have chosen a privately owned 3 star AA hotel in Newquay, Cornwall, the Barrowfield. The hotel is ideally situated just 200 yards from the seafront yet close enough to the beautiful beaches of Lusty Glaze, Tolcarne and the rugged Cornish coastline yet only a five minute walk to Newquay’s Town Centre.

DAY 3

Today is a free day for you to explore the delights that Newquay has to offer. Newquay has wonderful coastlines; spectacular beaches washed clean by the Atlantic Ocean; rock pools teeming with marine life; crystal-clear sea for a leisurely swim, soaring cliffs with magnificent views; and delightful gardens for tranquil strolls. This beach town has a plethora of gift shops and intriguing little shops along the pedestrianised shopping area.
