Things to do in Cornwall when it’s raining

We've got loads of activities to do within the house.

- The main lounge has board games in the cupboards

- The second lounge has a 50-inch smart TV with two Xbox game controllers. There is also a karaoke machine that links to your smartphone.

- The kitchen has a 65-inch smart TV with a soundbar and subwoofer, perfect for watching family movies or hooking up a Nintendo Switch.

- In light rain you could venture outside and sit in the hot tub!

Go back in time by visiting this art deco style cinema and watch one of the latest blockbuster films. Situated in the heart of Wadebridge, you can park nearby and get all the usual cinema snacks and drinks.

Visit the wonderful town of St Ives with its variety of quaint shops and cafes.

Overlooking Porthmeor Beach, Tate St Ives is highly family-friendly, offering an art room for children and exhibitions of local and better-known artists. Parking is limited, so we recommend the scenic train from Hayle..

The National Lobster Hatchery is located on the quay next to the cycle hire for the Camel Trail. The building houses the processes to hatch baby lobsters and grow. They are released into their natural habitat when young. There's plenty for children to do, including a play and craft area on the top floor. 

You'll probably spend no more than one hour here, but it's an interesting project.

The original jail is no longer in use and is now a hotel. Each room combines three cells: one for the bathroom, one for the bedroom and the other as a lobby.

There's an interesting self-guided tour through the dungeons and cells not converted. The jail has a large cafe and gift shop. Bodmin is just 30 minutes from Fair Skies.

On the south coast of Cornwall is St Austell. Just 20 Cornish miles (taking about 40 minutes) brings you to a host of indoor activities for children and adults.

It's the home of China Clay and has a museum to explore. You can take a tour of the St Austell Brewery to learn the brewing process for popular beers such as Tribute and Korev. 

You can learn about the history at the St Austell Town Museum located in the old jail, tour around Holy Trinity Church, or watch a film at the cinema.
