Perfect Family Holiday
We love staying with Pam and Richard at Bassets Acre and have been doing so for many years. I used to come with my parents as a child and now I bring my children.
The flat is always clean, tidy and welcoming on arrival. It's equipped with everything you could need oven, hob, microwave, electric shower, compfy beds, TV, DVD player, iron and all plates/cups/cooking utensils. The conservatory is a brilliant sun trap, perfect for sitting in the evenings to catch the last rays and has a washing line so towels and swimmers can be dried. The children love the pool and would swim morning, noon and night, followed by a relaxing hot tub for the parents!! They also enjoy the games room, the pool table needs 2 x 20p's to play so a few weeks before hand we save up our loose change to give them plenty chances to try to beat the adults! (Games room also has books and DVDs that can be borrowed) Pam and Richard are always around and happy to give change though if needed. They also so service washes which comes in handy and saves having a mountain of washing to do as soon as you get home. With play equipment and sand pit in the front garden and huge rear garden to explore including BBQ's and sun deck, there really is a lot to do on site.
Portreath has the best pasty making bakery, two great pubs that are welcoming to families, brilliant take away fish and chips, 3 cafes/places to eat, resident Kelly's ice cream van in beach car park and children's park. The beach has some fab rock pools at low tide, tide books can be purchased from the shop next to the bakers, this year the children caught 6 fish on their first attempt! (They are only tiny fish mind you!) Its in a good location for visiting tourist attractions like lands end, crealys, flambards, telegraph museum, minack theatre and many more, there is a leaflet display in the entrance to Bassets acre with lots of different places to enjoy.
We have a great holiday every year and would highly recommend. I hope you book and have as much fun as we do.
