And the Winner is...

We've had well over 1000 votes in our competition which is fantastic, thank you very much. All the photos received votes, 2 or 3 stood out from the crowd but there was on clear winner and it was HP013, sent in by Neil & Bridget Davey of their lovely dog Porthos ready for a game on the beach.

Neil said: "Amazing! Totally blown away at the news that we had won this years competition and what a great way to start this years visit to Helsbury Park, to  be met by Dave with the fantastic news,  our two Beagles Porthos & Lucy are already looking forward to coming back in 2013, but this time with their friends Barney and Jaz Beagle and their humans, it will be Beagle mania, but we can't think of a better place to have the best holiday ever!

Reinforcement called in at Broadview...

We've had some particularly keen jumpers this year so we've decided to call in the reinforcements at Broadview.  This extra high fencing should deter even the keenest escapee! To be fair most dogs are trying to stay at Helsbury rather than escape but for those more inquisitive ones we have to be a bit more vigilant!

4 of the Top 10 UK Beaches in Cornwall...

According to TripAdvisor 4 of the UK's top 10 beaches are here in Cornwall. Check out the full list on the TripAdvisor web site, 2 of the entries are local to us in Bude and Padstow and the beaches above Padstow would be one of our favourites because they are so dog friendly. Our guests would be disappointed not to see Trebarwith, Polzeath, Daymer Bay, Rock, Windemouth, Crackington Haven and many other north coast destinations mentioned, especially as they are all so dog friendly.
