Do you want to see Cornwall in it's best, most rose tinted light? Soak in a hot tub while taking in it's tropical evenings? Or perhaps you'd like to sip wine in a huge pool that is exclusively yours for the week? If this sounds like you, we've got some cottages that we think you'll love. This is Select Cornwall's list of the most luxurious holiday cottages in Cornwall - perfect for couples or families that want a taste of Malibu on England's south coast.

4. The Croft, Falmouth

Croft Holiday Cottage - Valley Falmouth Cornwall

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.

The luxury of the cottage comes not only in the form of it's size but also in it's many trimmings. A stay here comes with access to a gym, a pool, a playpark - a private restaurant just for guests - everything you could need for a week spent in the Cornish spring time sun. Not to mention the private hot tub exclusively available to you and your family during your stay.

3. Little Chyryn, Penzance

Little Chyryn Penzance

At number three on our list is this adorable option for couples. This cottage directly overlooks the waters of the English Channel and has a delightful balcony to take in the views from. It's also difficult to describe how cute it is. It looks like something Hugh Grant would read in in an early 2000s romcom. 

The appartment is beautifully decorated and overflowing with charectful features like wooden spiral staircases and reading nooks. It doesn't have the bells, whistles or scale that you may find elsewhere, but it does have an unforgettable charm that might just be what you need this spring time.

2. Glebe Cottage, Padstow

Glebe Cottage Cornwall

If Little Chyryn is Hugh Grant in the Early 2000s, Glebe Cottage is what would happen if the dad in 'Cheaper by the Dozen' was The Great Gatsby. It's luxurious, filled with original features and antique furnishings and it's also ginormous.

Glebe Cottage can sleep up to 8 adults and an additional 2 small children in four large bedrooms - each with en suite's. This is an amazing place to stay that is just a short walk from the beach and some of Cornwall's most beautiful views. We cannot recommend it enough for large groups looking for an unforgettable escape to the south coast.

1. Trevithick Retreat, Redruth

Trevithick Holiday Cottage 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.
