This characterful 3 bed lodge cottage makes an idylic west Cornwall escape. Perfect for a trip full of exploration, the property has private parking for up-to two vehicles and boasts a quiet location surrounded by coastal hiking oppertunities. You are also equally close to St Ives and the Lizard Penisula so you can easily take in Cornwall's most famous attractions such as Tate St Ives and the mainland's most southern point.

2. Villa Gallery Cottage, Falmouth

This cottage is a cornish dream house on so many levels - three levels to be precise! And the top-most of these levels offers a kitchen, dining and balcony view of the sun setting over cornish hills every night. Ideal for families who want to take cornwall in the slow lane, this quiet location could not be better for a relaxing escape from it all. The cottage is also stellarly located for eating at some of Cornwall's best restaurants - as both Truro and Falmouth are just 5 minutes away. 

You can drive to a cliff-edge ocean view in 15 minutes and are fantastically rail connected via Truro- to get a scenic view of Penzanze, St Ives and Newquay during your stay. The private hot tub the cottage has outside only makes this luxurious option harder to say no to. 

The property is also well-equipt for smaller children, with necessities such as cots and high chairs all readily available for guests.

3. Dovecote Holiday Cottage

This cosy chalet is perfect for parents who can't keep their children out of the sea. The property sleeps four, is fully equipt with everything you need and is just a short walk from some of the most beautiful beaches on Cornwall's north coast. Located just minutes from the headquarters of Waves Surf School and Padstow Surf School, this is the perfect location to take the kids to transform them into the next generation of surfing prodigies.

Padstow is also an amazing location for walking fanatics. Thus, parents who may prefer to stay out of the water can opt for circular routes around the fishing town and the many surrounding beaches and keep dry while the little ones surf, paddleboard and kayak through the sea below them. 

4. Trevithick Retreat

Cottage with A Pool Cornwall

Perfect for larger families, Trevithick retreat is what most people dream of when they think of a Cornish holiday cottage. Equipt with a swimming pool that could rival most hotels and fun details like a games area and pool table to keep the family entertained, Trevithick might have the family not wanting to leave the cottage at all.

With four bedrooms and a central location - this cottage is absolutely perfect for families with older children. Alternatively, three couples could stay in the villa and quite comfortably enjoy the pool's surround sound, led lights and flatscreen tv.

5. The Croft, Falmouth

A family of 6? With small children? Looking for a mixture of nearby family activity and quiet relaxation? Why not try this gorgeous falmouth gem.

Located centrally among Cornwall's many beaches and attractions, this premium cottage sits atop a community of them in the hills of Falmouth and is just yards from beautiful walking paths across central and north Cornwall. The property is beautifully built and comes with access to cots and high-chairs as needed. We particularly recommend this three-bedroom for a three generation holiday - where a walking holiday for the grandparents can be equally spent in playparks and on beaches.
