Memorable holidays in north Cornwall

Countryside charm, coastal calm

Holiday your way

If you’re seeking utter escapism then you’ve come to the right place. Hidden away on a winding country lane, Willow Bay is a sanctuary for all those who visit. Surrounded by acres of rolling green countryside, yet close to the coast, this charming hideaway is the perfect base for holidays in north Cornwall.

Set between the Hartland Heritage Coast and Pentire Point, on the Devon–Cornwall border, Willow Bay is home to some of the UK’s most breathtaking scenery. Stroll the iconic South West Coast Path, feel the sand between your toes at Widemouth Bay, or take in the sweeping clifftop views at Crackington Haven.

Beach lovers will be spoilt for choice too with dozens of spots to choose from. Delve into the rockpools at Black Rock, scour the shoreline for sea glass at Sandymouth Bay  or soak up the summer rays at Summerleaze.

If you can tear yourself away from the coast, you’ll find the popular tourist towns of Bude and Holsworthy, where the friendly high streets are lined with shops, restaurants and cafes. Whether you fancy fish and chips by the sea or a long, lazy lunch watching the world go by, there’s plenty of choice.

Walkers will feel right at home here too with miles of coastal path and countryside trails to explore. If you prefer to travel on two wheels, you’ll find the area is also well-suited for bikes too with numerous cycleways close by.

For a more leisurely holiday, try your luck fishing at one of the local freshwater lakes or visit the impressive Launceston Castle. Built in 1068, this historic landmark was once the most important fortress in Cornwall as well as the centre of government, founded not long after the Norman Conquest. Today it proffers fabulous views across Launceston and is a great spot for a picnic.

Whether you’re holidaying with your four-legged friend, as a couple, a family or with friends, our holidays in north Cornwall are guaranteed to tick all your boxes.
