Cornish Holiday Cottages – Handpicked Stays Across Cornwall

Why Stay in a Cornish Holiday Cottage?

Freedom to Explore

Self catering gives you the freedom to holiday your way. Sleep late, eat when you fancy, explore with no schedule and return to your own private space after a day of adventures.

Comfort and Character

Cornish cottages are more than a place to sleep. They are full of charm, offering exposed beams, wood burners, coastal views and peaceful gardens. At FAL Cottages, we select each one for its unique features and guest appeal.

Ideal for Families, Couples and Groups

Holiday cottages suit all group sizes. Whether you’re bringing the whole family, booking a romantic retreat, or catching up with friends, we have the space, style and amenities to make it easy and enjoyable.

Our Main Areas for Cornish Holiday Cottages

South Cornwall (Our Established Heartland)

Most of our holiday homes are in South Cornwall, especially:

• St Mawes and Portscatho – waterside villages with gentle charm
• Veryan, Portloe and St Just in Roseland – peaceful, postcard-perfect hideaways
• Feock, Tregony and the Fal Estuary – rolling hills and river views

These locations offer a quieter side of Cornwall, ideal for walking, sailing, dining and enjoying local life.

North Cornwall (Growing Portfolio)

We are actively expanding into North Cornwall, where guest demand is high and homeowners are joining our collection of:

• Bude – a surf-friendly town with long sandy beaches and rugged cliffs
• Porthtowan and St Agnes – walkers’ favourites with laid-back cafés and coastal paths
• St Ives – renowned for beaches, galleries and stunning views

This new direction is part of our growth, and we welcome both guests and property owners looking to enjoy or list in these areas.

• Historic fisherman’s cottages – full of character and coastal charm

Things to Do During Your Cornish Cottage Stay

Beaches and Swimming Spots

From Summerleaze in Bude to Porthcurnick near Portscatho, our properties are close to some of Cornwall’s finest beaches – perfect for surfing, sunbathing or splashing about with the kids.

Local Food and Culture

Sample the best of Cornwall’s cuisine with seafood fresh from the harbour, local farm produce and classic Cornish pasties. Explore art galleries in St Ives, heritage sites like St Mawes Castle, and village markets bursting with flavour.
