Description

For more than 50 years, Cornish Cottage Holidays has been helping visitors discover everything that makes Cornwall such a special destination. Specialising exclusively in self-catering accommodation throughout the county, the agency offers an extensive portfolio of carefully selected holiday homes ranging from traditional Cornish cottages and countryside retreats to luxury coastal apartments, contemporary beach houses and large family properties. Many of these homes are dog friendly, allowing every member of the family, including four-legged companions, to experience the beauty of Cornwall together.

Now part of the Forge Holiday Group alongside Sykes Holiday Cottages, Cornish Cottage Holidays combines the reassurance and resources of a nationally recognised travel company with the personal service and local knowledge of a dedicated Cornwall-based team. Their office in Redruth is staffed by local experts who know the county inside out, helping guests find the perfect location whether they’re seeking dramatic coastal scenery, peaceful countryside or bustling harbour towns.

One of the agency’s biggest strengths is its impressive variety of accommodation. Whether you’re looking for a romantic cottage for two, a stylish apartment overlooking the sea, a luxury property with a private hot tub or a spacious farmhouse for extended family holidays, there’s something to suit every type of break. Many properties include sought-after features such as enclosed gardens, wood-burning stoves, sea views, private parking, EV charging and fast Wi-Fi.

Dog owners are especially well catered for. Cornwall remains one of the UK’s most popular destinations for holidays with dogs thanks to its miles of spectacular coastline, countless walking routes and abundance of pet-friendly attractions. Cornish Cottage Holidays offers a large selection of properties where dogs are warmly welcomed, making it easy to explore everything from rugged cliff paths to peaceful woodland walks.

Many cottages are perfectly positioned close to the South West Coast Path, giving guests immediate access to some of Britain’s finest coastal walking. Depending on the season, dogs can also enjoy many of Cornwall’s famous beaches, while inland you’ll discover beautiful riverside walks, ancient woodlands and picturesque villages where dogs are welcome in cafés, pubs and attractions.

Accommodation spans every corner of Cornwall, from the surfing beaches of Newquay and the artistic charm of St Ives to the fishing villages of Padstow, Fowey, Mevagissey, Port Isaac and Mousehole. Inland, visitors can explore Bodmin Moor, tranquil countryside and hidden rural hamlets, ensuring there’s a perfect base for every holiday style.

The company prides itself on providing genuine local expertise alongside outstanding customer service. Their Cornwall team is available to offer recommendations on attractions, restaurants, beaches and walking routes, while guests also benefit from a 24-hour helpline throughout their stay. This combination of local knowledge and national support provides peace of mind before, during and after every holiday.

Luxury remains a key feature throughout many of the portfolio’s premium properties. Expect beautifully designed interiors, spacious open-plan living areas, fully equipped kitchens and outdoor spaces that make the most of Cornwall’s spectacular scenery. From contemporary beachside apartments with panoramic sea views to traditional stone cottages complete with roaring log fires, each property is chosen to provide comfort, quality and memorable holiday experiences.

For guests travelling with dogs, many cottages include practical features that make holidays easier, such as enclosed gardens, hard flooring, boot rooms, outdoor taps, nearby walking routes and spacious living areas. Some owners even provide welcome packs with treats, bowls and towels for canine guests, ensuring dogs feel just as welcome as their owners.

Beyond the accommodation itself, Cornwall offers endless adventures. Spend days exploring the South West Coast Path, relaxing on golden beaches, visiting picturesque fishing villages, discovering famous attractions such as St Michael’s Mount, the Eden Project or Tintagel Castle, or simply enjoying long pub lunches where dogs are welcome beside the fire.

Whether you’re planning a romantic coastal escape, a family beach holiday or an active walking break with your dog, Cornish Cottage Holidays offers one of the county’s most comprehensive collections of self-catering accommodation. With over half a century of local expertise, hundreds of carefully selected properties and a genuine passion for Cornwall, they’re an excellent choice for discovering the very best of England’s favourite holiday county.
