Cool

Perranporth is excellent. We based a PA-28 there for a week and the service was excellent. We uplifted fuel no worries, and were okay-ed to operate out-of-hours as well. Interesting approach over the cliffs - it was fun to see a couple of people on the cliff path gawking up at me as I came over their heads at about 20' fighting the turbulence!!! We used Perranporth as a base to visit Scilly Isles (a hilarious approach/runway - got to be done - nice island), Bodmin, Plymouth, Henstridge and Dunkeswell. Never got to Lands End though, flew over it en-route to Scillies, planned to make a visit the following day but the localised weather meant CAVOK at Perranporth, 200' at Lands End Aerodrome and CAVOK at the visitor centre at Lands End we eventually drove to.

Enterprise-rent-a-car in Truro provided me with a motor for the week, they even picked us up at the airfield and we left the car keys at the airfield when we left and Enterprise picked the car up.

Loads of bed-and-breakfasts around Perranporth too.

Edited to include more information.
