Padstow is just a 10-minute drive east.
In Newquay, the Headland Hotel has a number
of dining choices, most notably the highly-
acclaimed, two AA-Rosette Samphire Restaurant,
but there are several great options elsewhere. Paul
Haywood’s casual but incredibly popular Fish
House on Fistral Beach is a must-visit.

WHAT ELSE TO DO

As with all our ‘72 Hours in…’ itineraries, the
emphasis is very much on playing great golf courses.
Like the Vegas casino that makes it difficult to ever
exit the building, we want to show you so much
great golf there’s precious little time for anything
else. And we make no apologies for that.
That said, if you can somehow find time for other
pursuits, you don’t want to come all this way and
not see at least one beautiful Cornish fishing village.
Port Isaac, nine miles east of Rock, is ideal and it’s
the setting for TV’s Doc Martin. Beautiful
Boscastle, 13 miles further up the coast, Tintagel
Castle, and the hamlet and cove at Port Quin are
also beautiful stops. And if there’s time before or
after your round at Newquay, why not try something
a little more vigorous than golf by waxing up a
surfboard and hitting the waves at Fistral Beach?
