Planning a holiday for a large group of family or friends can be a daunting task, but Cornwall offers the perfect setting for a memorable and enjoyable multi-family getaway. With its stunning beaches, charming villages, and countless activities for all ages, Cornwall is an ideal destination for group travel. So whether you’re teaming up with family friends, or your extended family, our large holiday homes are just what you need to make your holiday truly unforgettable – and here’s five reasons why we think Cornwall is the best UK destination for your next group getaway!
Family-friendly beaches
It’s no surprise that Cornwall boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the UK, offering something for everyone in the family to enjoy. From sandy stretches perfect for building sandcastles to rugged coves ideal for exploring, there’s a beach to suit every preference. Some of Cornwall’s beaches are dog-friendly year-round, giving your furry family members the chance to join in on the fun (always check if beaches are dog friendly on the Cornwall Council website before visiting). Additionally, some of the most popular beaches are lifeguarded during peak seasons, providing added peace of mind for families with children. Children can let off steam playing on the sandy shores, paddling in the shallows, and even trying their hand at surfing under the watchful eye of trained lifeguards while adults can spend time relaxing on the beach and watching the waves. Staying at one of Forever Cornwall’s spacious properties near the beach ensures that your family can easily make the most of Cornwall’s stunning coastline within just a few minutes (or even seconds!).

The Lost Gardens of Heligan provide a magical experience with its mysterious pathways, whimsical sculptures, and wildlife encounters. The Camel Trail offers family-friendly cycling routes through picturesque countryside and charming villages, or for a dose of adrenaline, why not try Kernow Adventure Park!
