UK staycation boom predicted

My SIL is manager at a holiday company who have a couple of sites in that area and she has had block bookings for 50 statics for 2 weeks before the G7 summit and 1 week after, she is expecting more, it would appear all the support staff are going to slum in in statics whilst those in the know will have a top hotel, are there any in Devon?

It will be the press as well.

Any what in Devon?🤔

Hi TDA, If you are referring to Tregenna there are often deals available, from the likes of Travelzoo etc, and often refer to a ‘Cornish castle’.

Fowey Hotel is now The Fowey Harbour Hotel and has been given a makeover inside which, my daughter tells me, is very nice, but the stunning views are still the same!

Old Ferry has changed hands a number of times and may even be up for sale now so, if you fancy a challenge!

Yes I had a look at the Fowey last night. It’s the one with the big tea garden right on the waterfront, past “Q”s house. Gone rather modern inside, but it looks nice. Lovely location. Didn’t know it had changed it’s name. We were last in Fowey a couple of years ago, always interesting to see what’s changed. We know it reasonably well, we spent nearly 20 years visiting, all seasons, weeks on end sometimes. DF has possibly the most gorgeous house in Cornwall along the Esplanade!😁 Stayed a few times at the Old Ferry Inn, always good fun. We left our caravan up at Penmarlam Caravan Site all Summer, back when it used to be Yeate Farm. It’s not an area for the MH, much prefer to explore with car, some of the tiniest lanes end with the most beautiful of places. After a  bit of walking of course👍

Thinking about it, I took Mum and Dad to Tregenna some 18 years ago, so I suspect it’s changed a bit. Nice though😁

KjeIIN - depends on time of year, might be unlucky if the forestry commission are felling tress in the area however not much agriculture to generate tractor traffic. It is the usual post and delivery vans, locals and tourists. My bro-in-law was a nervous driver (wouldn't drive on m/ways.....) and managed it for 20 odd years until giving up driving. The trickiest bit of the route from Foyers to Fort Augustus is the initial stretch climbing out of the village and heading towards Whitebridge, a touch tight and winding in places. After that mostly ok and worth looking out for the view point approaching Fort Augustus. The descent needs a bit of care but just let the locals get on with trying to break speed limits and dodge the sheep. While you are in Foyers go upto the falls (spectacular) and if happy to walk (or drive) go upto Loch Bran, small loch but very peaceful. My sisters house overlooks the loch. 

We are glad we booked Roseland for September this year - will be in Austria in June (if we can escape these shores) or on Isle of Wight if not. 

We used to stay at the "Fowey Hotel" when it was owned by the Richardsons but the Fowey Hall Hotel is also very good. We also rented a cottage on the Menabilly estate and that was an interesting experience, deep down in the woods with a footpath to Polridmouth beach (Keepers Cottage.) There is a nice CL within easy walking distance of the town if you want to go back with your van. 

There are a couple Brue. We use Toynes House, which I think is the one slightly further out, very nice. Been staying on and off for years, back before it had hook ups.

Love Polridmouth. We have done the walk all the way from Fowey, up and down the coastal path, emerging by the Lake. Tend to park up at the Barton nowadays, and down the sunken lane. It’s just so special that Cove. There was quite a bit of the wreck left when we first found it back in 1984, but I doubt there’s much left now. Happy days🥰

Please,Please please..................too much information. Our sanctuaries have been blown apart ! 

Your sanctuary, my home😶

In these times everybodys sanctuary needs to be their homes
