The area has many natural and manmade attractions and some that combine the best of both, such as the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and many other local gardens.

We have stayed in quite a few self catering properties and found this to be one of the very best.Great views, local shops and close to St Austell for major outlets. Plenty to do within a short travelling distance, great beach within walking distance. Very well equipped for family holidays.. We will definitely be returning.

Sand dunes is a very well kept luxury property with modern features situated on the perimeter of Par village.There are distant views of the sea and it is convenient for a pub serving meals, the beach and the rail station.The owners are friendly and helpful with a wealth of local information.This property consistently wins awards and deservedly so.
