Short Breaks in Cornwall

Cornwall is the ideal location for a short break or weekend getaway. Cornwall is famed for its beautiful beaches, quaint coastal towns and wonderful scenery, all of which awaits on a Cornish break with Red Letter Days.

Boasting some of the most popular surfing spots in the UK, a Cornwall short break is the perfect opportunity to try a surf lesson and learn new skills along the way. The crystal-clear waters are excellent for paddleboarding and kayaking and there are also a number of boat trips that set sail each day to get closer to the diverse marine life.As well as the aquatic activities, Cornwall is an incredible location to explore on foot. The Cornish Coast Path follows the entire coastline around Cornwall, which provides magnificent views across the land and sea. Along these paths, there are plenty of opportunities to stop off and sample some of the Cornish delicacies. From decadent cream teas to hearty Cornish pasties, this part of the world is truly a foodie’s paradise. In Cornwall, only the freshest seafood will do – restaurant menus are known to change daily, based on what is caught that very morning. From MICHELIN-starred restaurants to local eateries, Cornwall has it all. After a long day exploring, there’s no better way to unwind than by settling down to enjoy a mouth-watering meal while the sun sets. At Red Letter Days, we offer a number of short-break options in Cornwall. From St Ives and Newquay to Padstow and wonderful locations in-between, there are a number of luxury hotel breaks, boutique weekend getaways and glamping breaks available that are ideal for exploring this magnificent corner of the UK.

Two Night Break for Two
Drd · 20-06-2025

Glamping at its best!

We loved the concept of staying in a Romany-type caravan for two nights. The location suited us as naturalists so well with places like Arne Heath and Brownsea Island so close. We did other trips to Thomas Hardy’s house; Corfe Castle and to the Great Bustard project on Salisbury Plain. We packed a lot in but we were there close to Longest Day so we had lots of time to use. We are in our 70’s but encountered no problems here - and the staff were so friendly and helpful too.

Perfect place to stay

Arrived on a very rainy day and were able to dry off in front of a log burner with a relaxing glass of wine. Staff were all very friendly. Room was perfect to house us and our dog - very clean. The evening meal and breakfast were delicious. We will be back to stay again.

The site could not have been more lovely or more picturesque. The site staff were amazing; laid back, kind, and couldn’t have done more to make our stay feel special. The animals and wildlife are precious, and the surrounding countryside is gorgeous.

Wonderful anniversary break

There are many things that are outstanding about Stanshope Hall, all of them add up to a perfect few days away. The location is terrific with walking everywhere. The property is stunning with very comfortable bedrooms, lounge with open fire and a lovely breakfast room. We were met at the door by Chris who helped carry our bags to our room, prepared a welcoming tray of tea and coffee and was the perfect host. All of the staff have been wonderful and Naomi (owner) couldn't have been more helpful. We strongly recommend Stanshope and will certainly be returning.
