My family (Fathers side) lived in Kingston and we go back to the 1500 hundreds in local Cornish locations. I knew it well as a young boy. The video brought back many happy memories (I am now 87). Thank you from Florida, USA.
What a lovely, hidden gem of Cornwall you have shown us there. Most people who enter the county are likely headed to more well know areas and will drive right by this without knowing what they are missing. Definitely our type of Cornwall, although perhaps a little too quiet this time of year. A very practical video for those wishing to stay, and the Half Way House looks like a great base for superb walking. A departure from your usual videos but just as enjoyable - thank you.
I love the way you do your travel videos! So much fun to see the accommodations through your eyes. Timing the walks to the car park and the beach was great. Always enjoy your sense of humor. Thanks for sharing this beautiful part of Cornwall with us.
What lovely villages to see. I always enjoy seeing the history in them. I enjoyed seeing your whole trip to this part of Cornwall. The pub food looked delicious and your stay looked very comfortable. I guess your expenses there were quite reasonable. Can't wait for the next time you visit another village. Thanks Sarah and Andrew!
Hi Sarah and Andrew A lovely idea to film your stay, looks really nice and loved all the detail of costs, food and facilities, just what you need to know when you are choosing somewhere to stay. We visited Kingsand a couple of years ago, we only stopped off for a look around and something to eat, thought it was very pretty. Just catching up on your videos as we have been away in Cornwall, we got caught up in Storm Gareth as well nearly got blown away like you did. We still enjoyed ourselves we just visited the areas around some of the towns when the weather wasn't good, explored Falmouth, St Ives, Penzance, Porthleven and Helston as well as many other places you suggested. We did have to cut some of our walks short or change our plans some days, it is a good reason to go back again, so much more to see and explore. We did hold on to each other at Clodgy Point as really gusty but lovely to see Cornwall in all different weather, thanks to you both and your great videos we saw places we wouldn't of otherwise visited. Looking forward to when we can visit again .Thanks Bets x
Its lovely to think that you were out in the same storm as us - juts at different ends of the County! Kingsand is somewhere neither of us have been before, and we both enjoyed it immensely. I am so glad you were inspired to try new parts of Cornwall. While Porthcurno and Newquay have their charms, Cornwall has so much more to offer! I am glad you had a lovely time, Sarah :)
Gets harder to leave everytime we visit as we both love it so much, everybody is so friendly and there is so much to do. We really notice how litter free it is compared to Hampshire as well, I think Cornish people have more pride about where they live and there seems more of a community feel as well, wish everywhere was like that. Bets x
What a great location,everything you need is so conveniently located! The food looked amazing as well , looked like you two enjoyed your time ,Thank you for that well put together video !I hope the fur boys are well!
Hi Lori, They are well. Our daughter was in charge while we were away and she did a phenomenal job! Although she did think that having 5 pets is hard work! I hope yours are well too, enjoy your weekend! Sarah :)
Hi Sarah and Andrew, you have a great way of finding these little cornish gems, what a beautiful place Kingsand is, day or night! Great review and pointers including the parking, always important! Have a great weekend guys, kind regards, Simon and Elaine, unowho travel channel 👍👍👍
I was brought up in the villages and moved away after 54 years like a lot of the locals. Sadly the village is full Of holiday homes there used to be 13 shops open all year round 8 pubs and 2 bus services. Now when I visit I rarely see a local as most of them are at rest in Maker Church Cemetery. I have so many fond memories.
Oh how sad! I hope that our video was not tinged with too much sadness. Unfortunately, much of our County is experiencing the same as you describe, Sarah :)
Hello again Sarah and Andrew! Thank you for showing us this place and lovely accommodation :) It looks totally perfect and really charming! I will certainly ask for this B&B when we plan the walk for 2021 :-) I will soon be back to you with my views on overnight stays in Cornwall during our walk in 2018 :)
Looks an ideal place to spend a few nights and you did a great video showing us it. The food did look wonderful and the price was good as well. Enjoy this weekend. Warm greetings, Julie.
I thought that it was a really good idea to show some accommodation in Cornwall. The Halfway House seem perfect for a stay and I am beginning to feel hungry as the food looked just great. I love the information you give on our walks so again 10/10 for a different,but, so informative video.
Now that is something I want to do - on the bucket list! A little ferry trip to MayFlower steps! Anniversary soon, so I am sure there is a video in it somehow! Sarah :)
Sadly many of the locals have long gone. It is said that there are over a hundred holiday homes in Kingsand/Cawsand and it certainly dies in the off season. An old school teacher of mine,Tony Carne,wrote a book called - Cornwall's forgotten corner and details the history of these villages and the peninsula in general.And to be fair,the real ancient boundary was the River Exe! Ordinary folk create boundaries not aristocrats! You've shown some of the peninsula brilliantly.
Tribally,communally and linguistically.The so-call border has been massively blurred for centuries.The Brythonic culture did not grind to a halt at the Tamar and other because of Royalty/Aristocracy defining a boundary by a piece of land/or water in this case.That is what i meant in my comment even though there was a degree of flippancy in it also Rob.Just like on the Welsh/English border in Shropshire,Hereford and Gloucestershire where the Welsh language was spoken in parts right up to very recent times,so the fact that there was a border in place would've had no baring in some respects on the ordinary folk who lived there.Our borders and boundaries once were invariably put in place to serve the influence and land expansion of royalty and gentry.The Rame peninsula like many places has been carved up between a few families over successive years,notably the Carew-Poles,Edgcumbe's and Eliot's,these of course are of relatively recent times.
So do i Rob,history has always fascinated me too.Just re-read what i wrote earlier and i'm glad it made some kind of sense as i wrote it without my glasses on!
Very well done review of the are and the hotel. I would stay there after seeing this. Only one question remains. How many seconds to the..................you guessed it , ice cream shop. Lol👍
Geocaching! I remember doing this with the kids when they were little and we were hopeless at it! Might be better now with a GPS app on our phone! LOL! Sarah :)
looks a great English pub the accodation is better than a lot of our Australian hotels by looks on your video the food menu looked nice too looks a quaint little village there *👍like thumbs up 👍AU 👀 full viewing 👀 support to each other✅*
hi im doug iam looking to write a soap opera for fun and i am wanting to base it at a seaside town near a close harbour pub, a church that looks over the town and a big surf beach and a surf kife saving club would love it if we can talk soom as possible

Kingsand is well worth a visit if you get the opportunity! We had a great time staying in Cornwall - we will have to do it again sometime!! Sarah :)

We would love to do some more! :) We have another two that I have not started to edit yet and they will be up shortly, Sarah :)

Gracie is finally much better,it was touch and go for about two weeks and then she completely rebounded , thank goodness 😅
I would love to travel to your lovely country. I am so glad you make these videos so I can see it at least and I learn so much. Thank you!
May be one day .... Sarah :)
I agree! I love seeing your country! I would love to visit but may not be able. These videos make me smile when I'm feeling down. 🥰
Loving your videos - appreciate the walking routes and your accommodation recommendations!
Thank You! And thanks for watching, Sarah :)

@@Rameman33 Thank you for elaborating. I would like to study it more. I love history and culture.
So do i Rob,history has always fascinated me too.Just re-read what i wrote earlier and i'm glad it made some kind of sense as i wrote it without my glasses on!
The Halfway house looks fantastic... Best wishes guys
Hi Dave, We had a great stay, very comfortable and right in the heart of the village, Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails 😉🤗👍🇭🇲💕
Loved it ! 💟💟💟
Very well done review of the are and the hotel. I would stay there after seeing this. Only one question remains. How many seconds to the..................you guessed it , ice cream shop. Lol👍
I think even if we had found an ice cream shop, it would probably be shut!! :( Sarah
Lovely video. Cheers.👌❤

Loved it! I bet it is busy at the moment and looks completely different! Sarah :)
Says it all for me at around 1.08......''By the sea all worries wash away......'' J x
Totally agree, even in a force 9 gale threatening to blow you off your feet or pouring rain! Sarah :)
Really brilliant video! I felt like I was there! Do you both ever do any geocaching?
Geocaching! I remember doing this with the kids when they were little and we were hopeless at it! Might be better now with a GPS app on our phone! LOL! Sarah :)
Nice!
