The surrounding Cornish coast offers a relaxed blend of gentle discovery, seaside fun, and nature-based exploration – all easy to enjoy without hurry or fuss. Our curated family experiences are designed to delight all ages, focusing on simple pleasures and shared moments that become lasting memories.

From sun-soaked beach days to rock pooling and family-friendly surf lessons, there’s plenty to spark curiosity and joy just beyond the hotel doors.

Simple Coastal Pleasures

Beach days and rock pooling are quintessential Cornish family activities, perfect for introducing children to the wonders of the sea. Newquay’s golden sands and sheltered coves create safe, scenic spots for little explorers to discover crabs, shells and coastal wildlife.

Whether you’re building sandcastles on Fistral Beach or wandering tide pools at Towan Head, these moments offer relaxed fun and a deep connection to the coast.
