MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Just strating to think about summer holidays and quite fancy Cornwall - does anyone have any great recommendations for seaside accommodation - or at least a very short walk to the beach. And really looking for great beaches for our two little girls.
Tried looking online but the range is overwhelming and none are clear about locations.
Cheers.
I really like this place- I have 2 small girls too. And its close to the beach.
I've been 4 times now 🙂

:-O LoCo - I could get two weeks all inclusive in the Med for the same price as that place!
Liking the St Ives one though - duly sent on to my wife for approval...
We used to go to Trevella when the kids were younger, great place with easy access to most things you want.
budget? vellendreath down at sennen is hard to beat.
Budget? Well we were wanting to spend less than £4k for the whole holiday (including food, drink, ice creams, entertainment etc).
you can buy cornwall for that...
+1 for St Ives Bay - lovely place
If you do go to St Ives Bay Holiday Park, there's a great bike shop in the town (Hayle Bikes) that sells Stanton frames and other nice bits 🙂
V friendly too.
bear in mind it could rain all week non-stop.
no matter when you go....
Not a comment on where to stay (sorry), but another vote for Hayle Cycles...!

You'd have thought so but alas no - it's looking like £3k-ish for a half decent holiday cottage for two weeks. Looks like it'l be the Med on an all-inclusive at this rate.

Yeah I know, I spent almost all my childhood holidays in Newquay, Looe, Padstow, Penzance, Mawgan Porth.....
If quiet campsites are your thing,[url= http://churchtownfarm.org.uk/ ]THIS PLACE[/url] is great.
If I had £4k to spend on a holiday, it probably wouldn't be in Cornwall, and I live there.
Isles of Scilly?

Take the hint. Whilst Cornwall is OK, most bits are quite expensive and the weather is a bit of a gamble.
If you want the authentic british seaside resort, then perhaps consider Pembrokeshire? As pretty as Cornwall without the price tag or the crowds.
I just have a history with Cornwall given my hols there as a kid and want my kids to experience the same....
But it really is hard to justify the cost.
can't get much better than right by the beach in the heart of sennen cove, and yes i'm biased because its my place...

august is fully booked already though i'm afraid.
Im writing this whilst staying in [url= http://www.cherishedcottages.co.uk/stives_luxury_cottage_details.asp?CottageID=233 ]this[/url] place. Fantastic location. Think there are other apartments in the same building that are bigger.
The cottages at the headland hotel are lovely and just off fistral beach. We take the grandparents and have a nice week body boarding
Sennen cove is beautiful, never as busy as St Ives but also fewer facilities. Personally I dont really like St Ives but you can head round to Carbis Bay on the train easily enough and thats nice. Porthcurno is just around the corner from Sennen too. Porthtowan has a massive beach, as does Perranporth and both towns are a good size for supplies etc.
We've stayed at plenty of places through www.classic.co.uk and never had a problem though we havent had children havent really got any family friendly suggestions I'm afraid.
i can vouch for two static caravan sites have done loads of times with family
Trewince just outside wadebridge couple of miles from beach but quiet family orientated and has a pool ,play area and nice clean facilities and theres Lundynant at polzeath very short walk onto lovely beach and little village both very good value
hope that helps
Been here for the last 3 years camping but friends have stayed in the mobile homes tad pricey but with 3 different types of beaches to visit its a great location,some great coastal cheeky and quite lanes to Padstow

Sennen is my favourite beach in Cornwall. Especially the north end which is a separate beach at high tide. There's a great campsite 10 minute toddler stroll from there. Trevedra farm??
Stayed on a static caravan in the Haven park in Hayle near St Ives. Less than 10 mins walk to a lovely beach which my 2 girls loved (were 2 and 4 at time) and it's a good place to base yourself, the on-site entertainment looked a bit tacky but spent very little time on site. Were tempted to go again this year but it was about half the price to go to North Wales instead.
Edit - Haven Park was called Rivière Sands
Watergate Bay?
We've stayed here in the past, [url=http:// http://www.helpfulholidays.com/microresults.asp?search_value=p346&btnGo.x=0&btnGo.y=0 ]Penrose[/url] Porthcowan is two minute drive away,Padstow / Newquay about ten minutes in either direction.
Would love to stay in Sennen again,unfortunately not likely to happen due to the dog ban on the beach.
bear in mind it could rain all week non-stop.no matter when you go....
Yup, happened to us 2 years ago & we also stupidly went at a stupid time of year, school holidays in summer. ****ing kids everywhere.
Cornwall would be ok (& only ok) if they banned kids. 😕
Sorry but I really do not like kids. 😕
Second that post about camp site near sennen very nice people who own and run it beach and coastal path awesome and not to far to walk to the old success inn on the front in sennen cove. The campsite is also dog friendly facilities are very good going back this year

We've stayed in that block a few times, both in the Summer and at New Year - amazing location.
Try Prussia Cove, off the beaten track. No crowds, nice beaches, great campsite, great lets if they are not booked up. Been there every year for the last 25 years. So have most of the other people who we see there each year.

Prussia Cove looks nice but none of them appear to be on/close to a beach so kinda rules them out.
Really can see myself just going abroad at this rate 🙁
My wife's family used to go to a hotel called Bedruthan steps, at Morgan Porth.
Great family hotel with kids clubs and surf lessons etc.
Mawgan Porth is our destination this year, big beach but does get busy and you have to watch for the fast incoming tide if you pitch your gear low down the beach, love treb strand, get there early and get round to the right before everyone else, no lifeguards up that end which keeps the tourists down, similarly stay late towards high tide and swim in the rock pools and maybe a bit of cheeky rock jumping. This will be our 5th year on the bounce. Get wetsuits and the weather is not such an issue.
We used higher laity farm for 4 years in a row, great place, 5 min drive from great beaches cant recommend it enough. Near redruth,hayle. Have also done the south coast and carylon bay and helston but much prefer the beaches in the north
Resurrecting this thread – now we are considering buying camping kit and doing a couple of shorter (say week-long) trips rather than one big one.
So - any recommendations for campsites in Cornwall with lots of facilities (pool, entertainment etc).
Cheers
No pool but can recommend wwww.oldmacdonalds.co.uk. It's a small (50 pitch) site attached to a petting farm , , there's free unlimited pony rides and a small gauge train and adventure playground. A short walk or car drive away is Portcothan bay for the beach or 6 miles to Padstow one way 9 miles to Newquay the other. My boys (4 & 10) love the place.
Check out Treyarnon Bay Cottages: http://treyarnonbayfarmcottages.co.uk .We've stayed there a good few times now and its a great location (about 5 mins walk away from Treyarnon Bay - the next bay along from Constantine. It's a lovely spot. There is also a caravan park just down the road too but its not as nice as Mother Ivey's Bay Caravan Park, but a lot cheaper i'm sure.
I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the rock climbing in Sennen. I had some great fun climbing Demo route etc there.

you know high tide isn't at the same time every day right? 😉
