Cubert itself is a small traditional Cornish village, but for its size has plenty of amenities. It has a a general store (including a video/DVD rental service) a post office, a restaurant, an excellent fish and chip shop and a small park to name just a few. It is also serviced by a regular bus service to Truro and Newquay – the nearest town at only 4 miles away. Cubert really is a fantastic base for visiting all the attractions in Cornwall as well as a great place for walking along the dramatic coastline of Northern Cornwall.

Holywell Bay is just a mile down the road and offers one of the nicest beaches in Cornwall.

Cubert has its very own restaurant in the village centre. A small family run restaurant open throughout the holiday season serving good food and only a couple of minutes walk from the house.
The Smugglers Den, a sixteenth century Inn, is only a few minutes drive from the house and is open all year serving food and drinks. You can visit the website for more details on http://www.thesmugglersden.co.uk/

The Eden Project at St Austell, one of Cornwall’s newest and most fascinating attractions, is also within easy reach of Cubert – only around 20 minutes drive. A great day out for everyone and a must see for those who haven’t visited already.
