Take the family to Cornwall


Take the Family have just returned from a fabulous few days on the Cornish Riviera...



We stayed at The Rosevine, nr Portscatho - an absolutely fabulous luxury retreat of apartments and suites with all the amenities of a luxury hotel, with fantastic facilities, and superbly friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Over looking Gerrans Bay, with a 3 minute walk to a superbly family friendly safe sandy beach, and more coastal walks, it is the perfect place to get away from it all, relax and enjoy...

And what's more for May and June, The Rosevine are offering Take the Family users a complimentary chilled bottle of wine on arrival, a bucket and spade per child and a paper back each for mum and dad.

We also stayed at Parc Vean, a superb self catering bungalow, 5 minutes from 2 very secluded beaches, with 2 acres of wonderful grounds, a giant wooden fort, family bikes, a football goal, trampoline, bbq, and superb gardens. You'll feel like you are staying in the Lost gardens of Heligan!! This is the perfect retreat for families, sleeping up to 7 guests, with 2 bathrooms, 2 living rooms and tons more. Described as Cornish Charm London Style, the attention to detail is superb, with a mixture of gorgeous eclectic antiques and quality modern appliances. You can't help but relax in this fabulous environment. You can even get meals and provisions delivered, and do as little or as much as you wish. Relaxation is what Parc Vean does best!

Parc Vean are offering Take the Family users a huge 10% discount on all breaks outside of school holidays, plus a free welcome hamper for your arrival.


Don't forget to visit TaketheFamily again soon, to find out where we are off to next!

Happy Holidays!
