Family Friendly Cottages in Falmouth

Enjoy a Wonderful Falmouth Holiday With Your Family

Little faces light up when they’re surrounded by adventure and wonder. It’s how we know that children adore Falmouth and Helford River, on Cornwall’s magical south coast. With sandy beaches perfect for sandcastles, gentle coastal walks, glorious countryside, as well as family-friendly attractions and restaurants, Falmouth is a wonderful location for a holiday with your precious little ones.

Falmouth Family Friendly Cottages

We know what it takes to make a holiday home just right for everyone. For over 40 years, we’ve made it our mission to find the best family-friendly places in the Falmouth area of Cornwall, tested by families with children of all ages.

Explore the Helford River with little hands collecting shells and treasures, or take your young adventurers on a boat trip across the waters of Falmouth harbour. Build sandcastles on beaches, delight in rock pooling and new discoveries, then settle down into a holiday cottage that suits all of you – from toddlers to teenagers.

Each year, we help hundreds of families come on holiday to Falmouth and the surrounding area, and we’d love to welcome even more!

Children are warmly welcomed at Cornish Holiday Cottages. Many of our properties are family-friendly cottages and holiday homes with features like high chairs, travel cots, and enclosed gardens.

Making magical memories with the kids

We’ve been organising family holidays for our customers for decades, so we understand exactly what makes a perfect getaway for parents and children.

Here in Falmouth and the Helford River area we are blessed with wonderful sandy beaches and gentle walks perfect for little legs. These coastal paths offer excitement for all the family, from spotting wildlife to discovering hidden coves. The three main beaches in Falmouth are supervised by lifeguards during the summer months, and there are many safe, sheltered coves along the Helford River where families can enjoy paddling and exploring year-round.

The area offers fantastic family attractions, including the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, Trebah Garden’s adventure playground, and boat trips that captivate children’s imaginations, while parents can relax and enjoy the stunning coastal scenery.
