Coastal Cottages in Cornwall
For many visitors, Cornwall's coast is the main attraction. With hundreds of beaches, dramatic cliffs, secluded coves and fishing villages, there are countless ways to experience the sea.
North Cornwall is particularly popular for surfing, with beaches around Bude, Newquay and Watergate Bay, while the south coast offers a gentler landscape of sheltered beaches, coves and estuaries around places such as Falmouth, the Roseland Peninsula and the Lizard.
West Cornwall brings together rugged coastline, sandy beaches and some of Cornwall's most iconic landscapes, including Land's End, St Ives and St Michael's Mount.
Many of our coastal cottages in Cornwall are located within one mile of the coast, while individual properties can also be filtered for features such as sea views.
For walking inspiration, see our 8 Must-do Walking Routes on the South West Coast Path, which includes routes in Cornwall such as Porthgwarra to Porthcurno and around Land's End.
North Cornwall
North Cornwall is known for its dramatic coastline, long sandy beaches, surfing and picturesque fishing villages.
Bude, Padstow, Port Isaac, Tintagel and Newquay are among the best-known destinations, while quieter stretches of coast provide plenty of opportunities to escape the crowds.
The South West Coast Path passes through the region, offering spectacular walks along clifftops and around beaches and coves.
For a luxury cottage holiday in North Cornwall, you can combine days exploring the coast with evenings relaxing in your own self-catering accommodation.
South and West Cornwall
South Cornwall has a more sheltered character, with small beaches, wooded valleys, estuaries and historic harbour towns.
Explore Falmouth, the Helford River, the Roseland Peninsula and the Lizard Peninsula, or head further west towards Penzance, St Ives and Land's End.
The area is ideal for combining coastal walks, beaches and outdoor activities with Cornwall's food, art and heritage.
For something a little different, our 6 Wild Swimming Spots on the Lizard Peninsula offers inspiration for exploring this spectacular corner of Cornwall.

Cornwall isn't only about the coast. Inland, Bodmin Moor provides a wild landscape of open moorland, granite tors and walking routes, while the countryside is dotted with gardens, historic estates and traditional villages.
The Eden Project is one of Cornwall's best-known attractions, while Tintagel Castle, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and numerous National Trust properties and gardens provide plenty to explore throughout the county.
