White-washed fishing villages, sheltered sandy coves and stunning coast path walks are yours to discover when you book a holiday cottage in South Cornwall.
This beautiful yet rugged stretch of coast is made up of old pilchard fishing harbours and historic port towns like Polperro, Fowey and Charlestown. Add to that a rich history of smuggling and piracy, staying in a South Cornwall holiday cottage can almost feel like stepping back in time. Many of our South Cornwall holiday homes are proper, white-washed fishermen’s cottages, so it’s not hard to imagine life as a sea-salty smuggler.
Today you can fill your stay with blissful beach days, spectacular walks along the South West Coast Path and fishing trips to catch your own supper. Tuck into crab sandwiches in old Mevagissey harbour, catch crabs from the town quay in lively Looe or enjoy some peace and quiet on Downderry’s shingle beach. Away from the sea, you’ll find famous attractions like the Eden Prject and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, only a short drive from your South Cornwall holiday cottage.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic cottage for a weekend away by the sea, a large holiday home to host your group gathering or a pet-friendly property for your family holiday, you’re sure to find the perfect spot when you book one of our holiday cottages in South Cornwall.
