The Polly Joke poppies won't be around much longer.
Every June, a clifftop field on the West Pentire headland above Porth Joke turns into a carpet of red, with Crantock beach and the Atlantic behind them. By early July the flowers are usually fading. This weekend might be your last chance to catch them at their best.

It's about 45 minutes from Trewena. Porth Joke beach is five minutes below the field, the Bowgie Inn is right there for lunch, and Holywell Bay is a short walk north along the coast.

Full guide here, with parking, photography tips and how to build a day around it.

When to see the Polly Joke poppies on Cornwall's north coast. Bloom timing, parking at West Pentire, and what else to do at Crantock and Holywell Bay.

Cornwall doing its best to look utterly gorgeous over the Mayday weekend.
Fancy some of this for yourself? We still have some room during August.

We've just relaunched the Trewena website, and the part we're most proud of isn't the booking system (though that's much better too). It's the Cornwall guide.
It started as answers to the questions guests kept asking us. Where's the best beach that isn't rammed? What's the Lizard road trip actually like? Where should we eat in Falmouth without spending a fortune? We wrote it all down.
84 posts now: beaches, walks, day trips, food, events, seasonal guides. Written by us, not a tourism board.
Worth a look even if you're not planning a stay:

Happy birthday to a remarkable man. I can't think of anyone who has done more to engage British people with nature than Sir David Attenborough.

Happy Easter from Trewena 🐣

The garden is just starting to come back to life; buds appearing, the camellia doing its thing, and the granite bench in the sitting out area quietly waiting for someone to sit with a coffee and do absolutely nothing for a while.

This is what the grounds look like on an April morning. Not bad.

If Easter is booked but you're thinking about a spring or early summer break in Cornwall, we still have some availability. Drop us a message or head to trewena.com.
