It’s coming to the end of the year and you’re beginning to feel all of the stresses and strains of the last twelve months. So give yourself and your family a real treat this Christmas. Come to Shores House and put your feet up. No cooking, no organising, no washing up. Just as in high summer, we’ll provide breakfast, tea and dinner, including the most marvellous festive feast on Christmas Day. Down here, there’s a tradition of having a windswept walk along the beach before Christmas lunch. If you haven’t tried this, you won’t know just how well a salty breeze builds the appetite.

We can provide the same level of fully-catered luxury for New Year’s Eve. Shores House is a great place to party with your closest friends. If you’re feeling really brave, you can join in with the annual New Year’s Day swim/surf at Polzeath. It is rumoured to be a great hangover cure.

For 2008, arrival and departure days will be Monday for the Christmas and New Year weeks.
