Reynards Rest is built on the hillside overlooking the coastal village of Par. Much mentioned in Daphne du Maurier's 'The House on the Strand', Par is a thriving village situated on St Austell Bay between the better known ports of Fowey and Charlestown. It boasts a mainline railway station (direct services to London Paddington and Penzance among others, as well as a branch line service to the north coast resort of Newquay), newsagent, grocery stores, a library and no less than four pubs!

Carol and Doug Scrafton look forward to welcoming you to their home, which saw duty during World War II as a US army officers' mess, and later as a care home. Situated near the top of a hill overlooking Par, there are some breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, as well as of sandy Par Beach.

The Rooms:
Choose from a cosy double bedroom, with fully-tiled ensuite shower room or a comfortable twin bedroom, with exclusive use of a luxury, newly refurbished bathroom.

All rooms feature central heating, tea/coffee facilities, biscuits, colour television with freeview, hairdryers and many other thoughtful touches.

Breakfast:
Our aim is to provide a meal that will not only delight your tastebuds, but will also keep you going throughout the morning, and beyond.

To the extent possible (global warming may eventually enable us to offer you juice from Cornish oranges!) we rely on local producers for the ingredients for our full Cornish breakfast, and our preserves, bread and rolls are homemade!  Thanks to our co-operative bees, we can also offer you Reynards Rest honey at your breakfast table!
Breakfast will be served at a time to suit you, between 8:00 am and 9:00 am.

Prices:
Reynards Rest is open all year round.
Charges are from £35 to £45 pppn based on two sharing.
Single occupancy £45 to £55 pn.

The house is ideally situated for the world-renowned Eden project, less than 3 miles away.

There are a large number of other nearby attractions, including the Lost Gardens of Heligan (one of our favourite gardens in the whole of Cornwall). One of the National Trust's special treasures, Lanhydrock House, Trewithen Gardens and a large number of other historic houses and breathtaking gardens are all within a short drive.

For the keen walker, the South West Coast Path is but 500 yards from the house, and the Saints' Way is little further. Other charming walks are also nearby.

For those wishing to explore Cornwall by car, the north coast (home to resorts such as Padstow and Rock) is barely twenty minutes' away. Indeed even Land's End can be reached in just over the hour.
