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.

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.

One night memorable break

With a range of locations and hotels to chose from, we opted for the Talbot Hotel in the lovely market town of Ledbury. The Talbot like many of the building in the town is a picturesque timber framed building bursting witj character. Our room was a good size and very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we stepped through the door. Would definitely recommend this for an overnight break.
