It’s easy to discover why Cornwall has long been one of the most popular destinations for cottage holidays in England. With over 300 beaches of all imaginable shapes and sizes catering for a fantastic array of activities, from family fun to full on adrenaline fuelled watersports, there’s also the gorgeous countryside, bags of history, exciting night life and great food.
Getting away from it all could mean just the two of you or all the family, not forgetting the dog. With our wide range of cottages in Cornwall there’s a perfect home from home waiting for you.
With 12 designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty you can walk the wild moors and come across Stone Age settlements or get comfy in the friendly pubs along the way. Trace the many coastal paths including 50 miles of heritage coastline, Cornwall’s ancient mining and maritime history, plus, mythical castles, and timeless tiny fishing harbours, including world famous Mousehole. Visit St Ives for art, golden sands and surf; enjoy Newquay, a great all year round holiday base offering beach fun, kite surfing, festivals, dramatic cliff top walks to blow away the cobwebs and, of course, home to top chef Rick Stein, foodie heaven at Padstow.
Top of the list for many taking time out to enjoy Cornwall are the fantastic beaches you’ll find scattered all round the coastline. Stay in anyone of our cottages in Cornwall including Bude, Perranporth and Port Isaac and you’ll never be far from the sea. Pack up the picnic and explore some of the 300 beaches for yourself, from tiny coves to broad sweeping sands; excellent for sandcastles, cricket and simply snoozing, which one will be your favourite?
For great days out check out the place often called the ‘eighth wonder of the world’: the vast topical ‘bio domes’ of the Eden Project . See what really goes on down in the deep at the Blue Reef Aquarium in Newquay and, not to be missed, the National Seal Sanctuary, located in beautiful Helford Estuary.
