SURFING

Cornwall's Atlantic coast has some of the best surf in the UK, and Perranporth is right on the doorstep. We work with three local surf schools and check conditions daily to make sure you're at the right beach for your session. Whether you've never been on a board or you're looking to improve, we'll match you with the right instructor and location.

MOUNTAIN BIKING

The Saints Trail runs from our gate, and the old mining country inland has hundreds of miles of riding in every direction, from easy traffic-free trail to technical singletrack. Bring your own bike and ride straight out, or hire locally at Bissoe or Lanhydrock. There’s secure storage on site and somewhere to wash a bike down at the end of the day.
