With the holiday season rapidly approaching, have you made your holiday arrangements for this summer yet?

Although the Pound has rallied somewhat aginst the Euro and the Dollar, given the current economic climate, many are still finding foreign travel a little pricey, and the boom for outstanding tourist area like the West Country continues unabated.

There have been predicitions of a warm, dry summer this year, and the early indicators are that this might not be far off the mark. We have already enjoyed some great weather this year, and, true we have had some wet, gloomy days, but we are always going to have that.

Having beach days is great, but, variety is the spice of life, and those wet days can still be thoroughly enjoyed exploring some of the great attractions in Cornwall like the Eden Project for example where you can totally defy the prevailing weather conditions by experiencing a heat wave in the Tropical Dome.

Of course there are dozens of other attractions to enjoy, and half the pleasure of being on holiday is to find them and select the one’s that take your fancy.

Also, from the end of June onwards, there are plenty of local festivals and rallies to enjoy. Who can resist the draw of a steam rally for instance, and Cornwall has several of these during the summer months? what a great family day out!

Steam rallies not to your taste? Perhaps you have a literary bent. If so what could be better than the Daphne du Maurier festival, or you could root around John Betjeman’s famous haunts in North Cornwall?

But seriously, if you are planning to come down this way this summer, try to book early to avoid disappointment, and – big hint – why not visit our main site Diana Bullivant Holidays, Self Catering Cornwall  to view all the self catering properties we have on offer. You might just find your dream holiday home.

Royal Cornwall Show
