Meg and Mary, Oxford and Shrewsbury Another wonderful visit to Cadgwith and this cosy cottage. Each time I bring along a different friend who is immediately smitten, just like me. The weather has been glorious and we have spent considerable time 'up the garden' admiring the terraces and the gorgeous views, with some reading thrown in. We have discovered many local treasures and eaten at Coast bistro at the Lizard - delicious food - the best fish and chips, also from the village, and the two cafes on the point. The refurbished shop in Ruan Minor is delightful. Much to come back for!!

We had a lovely break in Cadgwith and really enjoyed staying at The Cot. The cottage was rich in atmosphere and family history, and we enjoyed lovely, cosy evenings whilst the wind howled outside. We ate out in the village a couple of times (the crab sandwich at the Old Cellars was delicious) and toddled up to Ruan Minor for vital supplies. Although we only stayed for 5 nights (thanks again to the owners for allowing the shorter stay) we had a very welcome break from our busy schedules.
