Planning on taking a trip to Cornwall? One of the first things you need to decide on when creating your travel plans is where to stay and what kind of accommodation you’re after. Cornwall has an incredible mix of different types of places, other than just your standard hotels. Anything from luxury holiday cottages to small, hidden shepherd’s huts or off-the-grid camping. Whatever holiday you’re planning, in this guide we’ll explore some of the best accommodation options to make sure you make the most out of your Cornish stay.
A Holiday Cottage
For those seeking some more normal home comforts but still wanting a touch of privacy, then staying in a holiday cottage might be your best option. As shown on the Cornish Holiday Cottages website, you can get the perfect mix of your usual home amenities like a fully kitted out kitchen and plenty of space for all the guests, whilst still having some independence, privacy and often some beautiful views.
With so many to choose from, dotted all over the county, you’ll be able to find one in a location that suits you and your fellow travellers best. If you’re in a big group or travelling as a family, holiday cottages have to be a consideration when looking at places to stay.
Shepherd’s Huts
A lot of accommodation options, like a hotel, can be a little bit on the boring side and won’t offer a lot other than a bed to sleep in. If you want to make the most of your time in the fresh Cornish air, then why not consider staying in a shepherd’s hut? It’s a bit more unique than a hotel but these warm cosy cabins allow you to still enjoy nature and the quiet countryside but still having comfort and privacy – perfect for a romantic trip as a couple.
They’re usually located on farms or fields, so they are a little bit more limiting in terms of where you can stay, but they offer an enjoyable, one-of-a-kind experience, especially if you’re only planning on visiting for a few nights.
Camping
Cornwall is pretty well known for its camping, especially amongst travellers who like experiencing the county’s natural beauty up close. Not only is camping the most affordable way to stay in Cornwall, making it great for large groups and families, but it’s also great for those wanting a bit of an adventure.
Most sites typically have electric hookups, toilets, showers and other facilities but some also cater to motorhomes and campervans if you’re still wanting a bit more comfort. If you want a bit more of an upgrade, you could even stay at sites that have glamping with extra amenities if you really want to experience sleeping in the great outdoors but don’t want to sacrifice your usual comforts.
With so many different accommodation types to choose from, Cornwall has something to suit everyone. No matter what option you choose, you’ll be perfectly located to enjoy and explore all the natural beauty and charm that the region has to offer.
