Luxury family holidays in Cornwall

Children do find wonder in the little things, but luxury family holidays in Cornwall have a lot more to offer than muddy puddles and rock pools. Think cinema snugs, games rooms, garden parties, and tennis courts.

Little ones see everything through rainbow-tinted spectacles, making travelling with children and babies an eye-opening experience. What was once mundane becomes a shiny sparkle, the smallest wave on Perranporth can become a tumultuous ocean voyage, and those standing stones on Bodmin Moor walk are now tall, turreted towers that must be scaled. While there's nothing like the magic of exploring a new place through the little ones' eyes, luxury family holidays in Cornwall happen when there's just as much enchantment to be found inside as out.

From Newquay to The Lizard there's sandcastle beaches, surf adventures, cinema snugs, and pizza ovens. Head out with sunhats on, pointing in awe at clouds shaped like giraffes, then return to pizza and playgrounds. All the better enjoyed with grandparents in tow, multi-generational group gatherings allow parents to sneak off for moonlit dips in heated swimming pools, or pop open a bottle of bubbles in the hot tub under Whitsand Bay's starry skies. Time spent together is time well spent, after all, and memories are made of this.
