A coastal haven situated on the southwest tip of England, Cornwall is an idyllic county with charming fishing villages, rugged cliffs, world-renowned beaches, and welcoming eateries. Experience all this for yourself with our choice of short breaks in Cornwall.

Why Weekend Breaks in Cornwall?

A short break in Cornwall offers the perfect opportunity to catch up on some serious rest and relaxation in one of the UK’s most popular holiday destinations.

Take your pick of gorgeous beaches to relax on, where you can sit back with an ice cream and soak up the views, go crabbing with the little ones, or discover hidden coves. If you’re feeling adventurous, Cornwall is famed for its excellent watersports opportunities, particularly surfing, so go and catch some waves!

Explorers can venture into Bodmin Moor, where you can soak up fantastic views from the highest point in Cornwall, Bronn Wnnili, trek through the lush countryside with the Moor View Alpacas and visit the stunning Golitha Falls.

Places to Visit During Short Breaks in Cornwall

Make the most of a short stay in Cornwall by visiting all the charming towns, villages and cities. In North Cornwall, you will find the popular locations of Tintagel, Port Isaac, Polzeath, and Padstow, the latter of which offers easy access to the famous Camel Trail.

For more fun in North Cornwall, be sure to check out the surfer’s paradise of Newquay, where you can take to the waters, visit the attractions of Newquay Zoo and Blue Reef Aquarium, or dine with a sea view at a variety of eateries.

Work your way down to South Cornwall, where you can discover the artists haven of St Ives, the sprawling sands of Carbis Bay, bustling Penzance, and Marazion, home to the incredible St Michael’s Mount.

You can discover all these towns and villages by following the renowned South West Coast Path, which will eventually lead you to the iconic Lands End.

Types of Cornwall Short Breaks

Bring the whole family on your short break to Cornwall with our range of large holiday homes with plenty of space for everyone! If your holiday just wouldn’t be the same without your canine companion, we’ve got you covered with our collection of dog-friendly cottages in Cornwall.

Make sure you are just paces away from the beach with a beach cottage or a Cornwall cottage on the coast. Perfect for enjoying beach days with loved ones!
