9 days until opening

Only 9 days until we open!  We cannot wait to welcome people to Little Winnick. We have worked so hard over the last few months we really hope  returning guests will see the difference and new guests will enjoy our hard work!  This weeks sees the final electrics going into the toilet blocks, we are putting in new lights and doors.  We are also awaiting delivery of  the signs and planting up the flower beds with some flowers.  We are also installing new washer dryers and the oil tank is being installed.  It is all stations go!

I am making very good use of the trail.  Most days I walk down from our house in St Austell - usually with an 8 month old strapped to my back or in the pushchair. The trail is brilliant; bike, dog, pushchair, horse and walker friendly. Accessed from the site you can turn left to St Austell, very enthusiastic people can follow the route all the way to the Eden Project (up a huge hill on the way) or you can veer off and go to Charlestown. Or if you turn right you can easily get to Pentewan for a well deserved pint and food.  This week Granny is walking from the site to Heligan with Jessica for yet more cake (just to re confirm it is good cake - we are hoping they remember to bring us workers some.

Talking of food, within walking distance is the lovely Kingswood Bar and Restaurant. The very popular restaurant is often full with locals so book to avoid disappointment. We can highly recommend the 'steak and Shellfish' night on a Wednesday. 

Cornwall is really starting to wake up after the sleepy winter season. There is so much to look forward to with lots of feasts and events. Why not tie your visit in with some of the many local events. Mevagissey Feast Week is always one to look forward to. The fireworks over the harbour are some of the best we have seen (and we have seen a lot of fireworks as I love them!). All through the week there are loads of family friendly activities taking place. 

Fowey Regatta is another renown event. The Red Arrows are a huge attraction going a spectacle display through the valley-you almost feel like you couldreachout and
