Rent a Cornwall holiday cottage to explore Britain's dramatic coast

In recent years, Cornwall has become one of the most popular travel destinations in the United Kingdom. It boasts idyllic beaches, beautiful countryside and a unique culture that appeals to holidaymakers all over the world. The recent TV show Poldark has also reinvigorated interest in Cornwall as a holiday destination as new generations become aware of its beautiful beaches, quaint villages and stunning natural landscapes.

Located in the most southwesterly point of England, Cornwall is unusual in that it only has one city, Truro. However, it has a number of famous towns and villages which draw large crowds of visitors, especially in summer. The charm of its rural landscape is also clear, with large stretches of Cornwall's coastline protected as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Many visitors to Cornwall choose to rent a holiday cottage - the perfect way to enjoy the county's traditional charm. With hundreds to choose from, it will be easy to find your dream holiday home. The most common areas to rent a cottage are along the North coast, in towns such as Newquay and Port Isaac. The real benefit of choosing a Cornwall holiday letting is that it allows for a truly authentic Cornish experience. This is ideal for those who prefer to organise their holiday independently.
