I hated the Eden Project, but loved the sheer drop slides they have in some of the parks down there.
Try Crealy Adventure Park, I don't think it's that far.

the one to go to was the Philleigh (otherwise known as the Roseland Inn)

A clever way to sample Ricks Steins food is to go one one of his 2 day cookery courses

and as people have said much nicer places in Cornwall to visit, in fact if you can get hold of last weekends FT Weekend magazine there is a whole section on outdoor sea filled swimming pools - which look amazing, and about 4 in cornwall too

quite a nice little place with a good beach, had a day there earlier this year.
Newquay - not very nice to be honest unless your on a stag do...
if you have kids try the dairyland, has good indoor play area and when we went, you could go back as many times as you liked in the same week.

We stayed at the seafood restaurant but ate in Steins cafe which is a bistro type place rather than a cafe and it was very good I must say.

Went a couple of years ago on a sun holiday, loved it, however we didnt do much other than go the beach as the weather was ridiculously hot all week.
Awesome fresh cake shop halfway down the main street in newquay itself, some nice pubs in the main town, just be careful on fistral beach as we got clamped and cost us 70 odd quid to get it off, we were with the mother in law who has a disabled badge which we thought we could use on the car park and had been all week, on the last day we got clamped!! *******s!!

Yes it was in a pretty parlous state, they were going to close it down but then the council relented and it is back in business thank goodness.
Mrs Leslie and I often have a coffee at the small cafe just along the way towards Brixham and its a nice place to sit and look across the bay to Torquay. Pity I did not know you were there.
Mrs Leslie told me today that some friends told her that they had a sit down meal of fish and chips with wine at Steins and it cost £25 each. Thats a bit easier to understand if still a bit pricey.

Apparently it's had a refurb now, it seemed quite nice before, so I'm hoping it's not too tacky. The words LED and SHOWBAR make it sound very... exciting!
As for the boozing, a couple of beers is enough with the kids to look after.
We have tried to adapt a 'when in rome' attitude with regards to these Haven sites, but it's just not my thing.
