Question Newquay or Peranporth?

Hi folks,

I'm planning a trip to Cornwall with 3 pax over a weekend in April, weather permitting. One person will be staying with friends in Newquay, and the rest (myself and my mother and brother) are flexible, but thinking of staying in Padstow.

Newquay airport (RAF St. Mawgan) seems the best bet. Landing fees + parking + MOD insurance waiver + VAT will come to about £30 I believe. Has anyone been in there? Any thoughts?

Alternative would be Peranporth - which looks like a nice airfield, but would be too far for taxi to Padstow, and probably not as interesting as Padstow for the visitors from Australia..?

Any reports of either Peranporth or St> Mawgan / Newquay would be of interest...
