If you find yourself most relaxed in a cosy corner of a local pub, check out Driftwood Spars. Located in St. Agnes’ Trevaunance Cove, this award-winning pub boasts its own brewery and an extensive wine list ready to tempt even the most selective of connoisseurs. 

Enjoy more pub vibes in the form of the Railway Inn or the Miner’s Arms (a 16th Century pub steeped in history), or for something a little different give the Taphouse a whirl. Right in the middle of St Agnes, this bar is a name on everyone’s lips and serves a hugely tempting collection of fine wines and European lagers. Pop along in the evenings; they regularly host popular gig nights which are a great way to mix with new friends, old friends and wallow in the music.

Only a stone’s throw from the lively thrum of Newquay and surf hub of Bude, there is plenty to see and do nearby. That said, St Agnes proffers abundant activities to keep you entertained; make use of the four beaches waiting to be explored and stay on the lookout for the amazing wildlife that frequents the coast.

If you are holidaying with your tufty-pawed pal, Trevaunance Cove and Trevellas Porth welcome dogs 365 days of the year. In the shoulder seasons, stroll along Chapel Porth and Porthtowan Beach and trace sandy prints along the shore. Walking along the South West Coast Path, make sure you pay Wheal Coates a visit, and for more insight into the area’s heritage, stop at St Agnes Museum. 

If you are staying in a holiday cottage in St Agnes in May, you should definitely make time to see the local Bolster Festival. Honouring one of Cornwall’s oldest legends, the Bolster Festival celebrates the death of a dastardly giant Bolster, who once wreaked havoc on the town by eating local children and unsuspecting travellers.
