Family Holiday Homes in Cornwall

2253 properties from £330/wk · Top-rated: Skylark (★ 10)

Cornwall has been a family holiday destination for generations, and the best properties reflect that with space to spread out, gardens for children to play in, and beaches within easy reach. Our family cottages sleep 6 or more across at least 3 bedrooms - enough room for parents and children without everyone being on top of each other. The north coast around Padstow, Newquay, and Bude suits families who want surf beaches and attractions like the Eden Project, while the south coast around Fowey and Mevagissey offers calmer waters for younger swimmers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What family attractions are near Cornwall holiday cottages?
Cornwall has a strong concentration of family attractions: the Eden Project near St Austell, the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth, Flambards theme park near Helston, Crealy Adventure Park, the Seal Sanctuary at Gweek, and Lappa Valley steam railway. Most cottages are within 30 minutes of at least two major attractions.
Which Cornwall beaches are safest for children?
Lifeguarded beaches like Harlyn Bay, Polzeath, and Sennen Cove are popular with families. For very young children, the rock pools and sheltered water at Readymoney Cove (Fowey), Swanpool (Falmouth), and Daymer Bay provide calmer conditions. RNLI lifeguard patrols run from mid-May to September on around 30 Cornish beaches.
Do family cottages provide cots and highchairs?
Many family-oriented cottages include cots, highchairs, stairgates, and sometimes a toy box as standard. This varies by property and provider, so always check the listing details or contact the agency directly. Some charge a small supplement for baby equipment.
