Have never lived there, but have spent about 6 weeks a year for the last 14 years down there in a tiny village called Holywell which is around 8 mIles away from Newquay. It’s absolutely beautiful, hence the amount of time I’ve spent there, the people are great , the beach is beautiful (they shot a 007 movie on it) and the surf is awesome! If I didn’t want to disappear to Eastern Europe so much, I’d move there like a shot :-)
