Choosing a Holiday Cottage

Holiday cottages in Cornwall are plentiful, and you can find almost any size and design you like. Cottages are typically owned by an individual but rented by a company who specialises in holiday rentals (though some owners prefer to avoid agencies and you can deal with them direct).

The cottages often require a deposit to hold them and are usually rented from Saturday to Saturday. Check-in is usually in the afternoon, while check-out times are much earlier to allow the staff time to clean the cottage for the next inhabitants.

Cottages may hold as few as two people or as many as eight, or even more. Many cottages provide a host of activities right in their grounds, from fishing and horseback riding to self-catering cottages that allow you the luxury of a last-minute weekend getaway. Many of the Cornwall cottages are renovated regularly, so you enjoy Old World charm in combination with modern conveniences.
