Cornish self catering accommodation is the perfect holiday solution for cyclists. Imagine trying to find an hotel or B&B where there’s enough room for your cycling gear, to dry your clothing if you get a soaking and generally spread yourself around in true comfort. Easier said than done! Having a home-from-home of your own is much better, with a comfy living room and well equipped kitchen, washing machine and tumble dryer, separate bedrooms and loads of storage space.

Cornwall is fabulous cycling territory whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned cyclist. Imagine winding gently through beautiful lanes and byways, drinking in the sounds of birdsong, crickets and the distant crashing seas. In winter cycling in Cornwall takes a dramatic turn – you’d be surprised how many diehard two-wheel fiends you’ll see braving the off-season weather and having the time of their lives!

Luckily the county is home to a good number of absolutely stunning cycle paths, meandering through pretty, ancient villages with scenic harbours and heading off-road into the country’s spectacular countryside.

There’s the Camel Trail, feted as the best cycle route in the UK for its beauty and accessibility. Cornwall’s Mineral Tramways Mining Trails are also excellent, a newly-extended thirty mile cycle, horse-riding and walking network covering the Camborne and Redruth areas. The delightful six mile

Redruth and Chasewater Railway Trail is a little beauty that branches off the breathtaking Coast to Coast Trail at Twelveheads through woods and moorland with fantastic views.

The lovely eleven mile Coast to Coast Trail lets you transverse the whole county in a day, from coast to coast, Portreath to Devoran. And the Portreath Branch Line Trail is four miles of quiet roads and off-road trails and follows the gorgeous Red River Valley to Brea.

The Tresavean Trail is a haven for wildlife and, at only two miles, is a short but sweet adventure along the old railway line from the top of Buller Hill, with amazing views as far as St Austell. The two and a half mile Tehidy Trail takes in Tehidy Country Park, linking with the Portreath Branchline Trail and, ultimately, the Coast to Coast Trail. And the Tolgus Trail is currently under construction, tipped to be an immediate favourite with walkers and cyclists alike.

Cornish self catering cottages are popular with sporty types of every kind, from surfers to cyclists and walkers and more. On Cornish self catering holidays they enjoy the freedom they need to discover one of the most beautiful parts of Britain in comfort, style and privacy… with lots of lovely space.
