may have difficulty walking. Disabled guests are of course most welcome.
All beds have duvets and there are extra blankets if required. Freshly laundered bed linen is included in the price but you will need to bring your own personal towels and tea towels etc. Cots and high chairs are available free of charge.

The superb heated swimming pool, which is sheltered and surrounded by foliage plants and climbing roses etc, is open from May until the end of September, sometimes even later!
It is a real sun
trap and is a pleasure for both the swimmer and for those just wishing to relax
in the sun to watch others enjoying themselves!
The grounds at Catherine Park extend to some three acres of well-stocked informal gardens, including:
From the grounds the uninterrupted panoramic rural views are truly magnificent
with hills, fields and valleys extending for miles around. Bodmin Moor forms
the backdrop to our view and on a clear day Dartmoor can be seen in the far
distance.
Extensive woodlands are just two minutes' walk away, and for the more energetic, the lovely coastal footpaths are easily accessible and there's golf, tennis, scuba diving, sailing, fishing, riding.
Attractions
Catherine Park
is situated in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and its central
location in South East Cornwall offers easy access to the many attractions in
the local area and further afield.
The picturesque fishing villages of Looe and Polperro, just a short drive away,
with their sandy beaches, coastal walks, deep sea fishing trips, crab fishing,
pubs, restaurants and cafes, have something for all the family.
Further along the
coast is the seaport of Fowey, home of Daphne du Maurier. Fowey is a haven for
yachts and with its many interesting shops, restaurants, cafes and galleries
is well worth a visit.
The city of Plymouth with its wide range of shops, the historic Barbican and
Hoe and the renowned National Marine Aquarium is also within easy reach.
The world famous Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan are a 45-minute drive away and are a must to visit.
Other local attractions include:
Bodmin Moor with its sweeping moorland, rugged tors and prehistoric remains
offers miles of walks through spectacular scenery and is the home of the legendary
Jamaica Inn.
The old mining
village of Minions, which lies close to the famous Cheesewring and the Hurlers
stone circles, has a fascinating visitor centre as well as a number of cafes.
A little further afield the dramatic scenery of the north coast offers a complete
contrast to the softer and gentler south coast.
Guests
are provided with a folder full of tourist information that we think will make
their holiday with us as interesting and enjoyable as possible.
