Really depends what you're looking for OP, plenty of moorland if you want somewhere quiet, but Penzance, St Ives, Hayle are all nice coastal areas & Bude is worth considering if you are looking for a beach based break. Newquay very commercialised but good for surfing with plenty of beaches.
Looe is quite nice, as is Mevagissey, Fowey, St Mawes & Falmouth on the S coast.
Truro is the main shopping centre & fairly central. If anyone suggests St Austell, I'd ignore them. Very little left there now by way of shops
A few National Trust properties and Pendennis, St Mawes, At Catherine's (Fowey) & Launceston castles are all English Heritage. Usually plenty of things going on in Summer through Cornwall.
Sadly, prices for everything has shot up, especially accommodation so do your research. | |||

Generally the north coast has the big sandy beaches but very commercialised. South Coast is more picturesque with lots of little villages and coves. | |||

"and a nude beach not far away at Downderry" Not far away is a bit subjective... if you are staying in Penzance, you're looking at around hour and a half each way - and that is with the A30 behaving itself! | |||

"and a nude beach not far away at Downderry" Arthur's beach near Falmouth if you don't mind a bit of a hike. | |||

"Don’t go to Bude , awful place full of surfers and no McDonalds " No McDonalds is surely a plus? What's not to like about the infamous Bude Tunnel | |||

"How much money have you got ? You will need double that and more" Someone in West London complaining about prices? I go to Cornwall a lot, not sure where you go but places I go prices are no dearer than elsewhere. | |||

"The Atlantic highway (A39) from Barnstaple to Newquay is a lovely drive. " Just watch out for the potholes. They're doing some serious damage & not being repaired, or at least not with any urgency  | |||

"I love Cornwall, St Ives is a gorgeous little town. Wild camping on a windy cliff edge down there was an experience!" St Ives is much better to get to using the local railway from St Erth rather than doing battle with the car parks, unless you're there really early | |||
