Luxury waterside holiday cottages in Cornwall

Nothing says "and, breathe" like a weekend by the water; in our luxury waterside holiday cottages in Cornwall, private coastal homes, and chic boathouses and seaside reveries become an all-too-easy reality.

Soaring over the Lizard Peninsula and peeking over surf-ready Perranporth cliff edges, these private waterside homes are set by the best bays and beaches in Cornwall. These are places to clink glasses, twirl under twinkling lights, and chat until the wee hours to the sound of lapping waves. There is, perhaps, no greater feeling on earth than dashing to the tideline for a glacial morning dip, or diving off a paddleboard while lunch sizzles on the barbecue. An idyllic getaway for families and couples alike, our luxury waterside holiday cottages in Cornwall offer all the restorative properties that cold water therapy brings, but with bubbling hot tubs to sweeten the deal.

Whether you choose to hole up in Newquay or Whitsand Bay, what's on the cards is al fresco supper gatherings, crackling fire pits that become s'mores headquarters, and real-life water soundscapes sending the little ones to sleep. Go off-grid in a luxury Polperro hideout, play board games on a cinematic decking that hovers over secret beaches, or hunker down in Holywell Bay. We've sourced staycations by babbling rivers, up inland valleys, and soaring over sandy bays where surfers catch the morning swell and dogs on their summer holidays sniff out seashells in the froth. Peaceful restoration comes in waves at these one-of-a-kind waterside homes.
