Top cottages in Cornwall for 2026 revealed

Cornwall travel experts have curated a list of the top-performing holiday cottages in Cornwall that delighted guests in 2025 and why they loved them. Inday Harrison, regional marketing manager for Cornish Horizons tells us, "In Cornwall, we're seeing a mix of repeat visitors alongside guests who are visiting for the first time. Guests are loving these cottages due to their great locations, comfortable beds, astonishing views and cleanliness."

Inday adds "Cornwall is a great place for many different types of travellers, such as multigenerational families, due to Cornwall's large array of family-friendly beaches within proximity to each other that are close to restaurants, cafes, and many attractions accessible by foot."

These cottages range from luxury coastal properties with far-stretching sea views to cosy countryside cottages filled with traditional charm. Highlights include Laburnham sleeping up to two guests and two dogs. This original beach chalet located in Whitsand Bay near Millbrook was placed in About Time Magazine's Top 10: World's Most Spectacular Rooms with a View in 2019. Laburnham is a favourite amongst guests, with reserved parking, uninterrupted views from Rame Head to Falmouth Point and comforting interiors. Price for three nights starts from £664 and seven nights from £1,472.

Guests can immerse themselves in pure elegance and style with luxurious interiors throughout and stroll along the South West Coast Path or visit the plethora of shops, eateries and pubs all within half a mile.
