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.

Great experience in a wonderful location

We enjoyed a short break in one of the Rosebud Meadow pods - there are very comprehensive instructions about what to bring and what was already provided, so we knew what to expect. The pod was warm and cosy (and we had dry weather), and the shower block is immaculate (great water pressure and plenty of hot water). We enjoyed seeing the horses and goats abs bought some goats' milk toiletries as souvenirs as we left. Rosie always answered emails quickly leading up to our stay, and as everything was so well-prepared and explained, we didn't need to contact her whilst we were there. Thanks for a lovely relaxing break, Rosie!
