Cornwall has long been one of the UK’s most beloved holiday destinations – and it’s not hard to see why. With its dramatic cliffs, sweeping bays, rolling countryside, and mild climate, it’s an inspiring place to relax, recharge, or get stuck into some proper adventure.
There’s something here for everyone. For thrill-seekers, Cornwall is a haven for water sports, coastal hikes and outdoor pursuits. Families will love the local attractions, from theme parks and wildlife sanctuaries to castles and boat trips. And for those in search of something slower, Cornwall offers beautiful spas, art galleries, historic towns, and endless golden beaches for peaceful wanders and picnics with a sea view.
Much of Cornwall is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so whether you’re exploring the rugged north coast or the gentler coves of the south, you’re guaranteed a spectacular backdrop to your stay.
Our Cornwall collection brings together some truly unique places to stay – from Scandi-inspired cabins tucked away in farmland, to Grade II-listed cottages, sea-view holiday homes, and even a boutique hotel set in a former jail. Each property offers something a little different, so if you’re looking for a holiday that’s out of the ordinary, you’re in the right place.
Picture yourself soaking in a bubbling hot tub under the stars, toasting marshmallows by a fire pit, sipping your morning coffee with uninterrupted sea views, or wandering through the grounds of your own private estate with your dog by your side.
These are retreats made for memory-making – each one offering comfort, character, and that special sense of escape.
Looking for a romantic getaway that goes beyond the ordinary? Our handpicked Cornwall retreats are perfect for couples looking to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy a little luxury. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning a surprise trip, or just need a weekend break from the everyday, you’ll find the ideal setting here.
From cosy coastal cabins with private hot tubs to tucked-away cottages with crackling wood burners, these escapes are made for two. Picture stargazing from a bubbling tub, toasting marshmallows by the firepit, or enjoying a lazy breakfast with sea views – all at your own pace.
Many of our romantic stays also come with thoughtful touches to make your trip even more memorable – think locally sourced welcome packs, outdoor dining spaces, and scenic walking trails right from your door. It’s all about slowing down, soaking it in, and spending quality time together in one of the UK’s most beautiful regions.
Cornwall is a brilliant choice for family getaways, with its mix of wide sandy beaches, exciting attractions and endless countryside to explore. Our collection of luxury family holiday cottages includes everything from coastal homes with sea views to grand countryside manors ideal for multi-generational stays and large family celebrations.
These retreats are made for memory-making, with light and airy living areas, big kitchens perfect for group meals, and extras like games rooms, enclosed gardens and even private estates to roam. Some also come with family favourites like table tennis, hot tubs, or direct beach access – making it easy to keep everyone entertained.
Spend your days rockpooling, paddleboarding or visiting top family attractions like the Eden Project or Camel Creek Adventure Park. Come evening, settle in for a BBQ, gather around a firepit, or enjoy a board game together by the fire. These breaks are all about quality time, comfort and a little bit of everyday magic.
Cornwall is a dream destination for dogs – and their humans too. With miles of coastal paths, wild moorland trails, and dog-friendly beaches to explore, it’s the perfect place for a break that includes your four-legged friend.
Our dog-friendly cottages have been carefully chosen with pets in mind. Expect thoughtful touches like enclosed gardens for playtime, outdoor taps for muddy paws, and cosy spots to curl up after a long walk. Some retreats also offer welcome hampers with treats, bowls, and blankets – so your dog can feel right at home from the moment you arrive.
You’ll also find plenty of places across Cornwall that welcome dogs with open arms – from laid-back cafés and traditional pubs to attractions and heritage sites where pups are more than just allowed, they’re part of the experience. These holidays are made for long walks, sandy paws and wagging tails – no pet-sitter required.
