Family holidays by the sea. They’re where some of our fondest childhood memories were made, and where we now make memories for our children to hold dear. Which is why our team here at Luxury Coastal knows how important they are!
Please wait, your properties are loading...
Our family friendly holidays are all about relaxation and spending time together, so all the properties in this collection have the right mix of comfort and space. Take your pick from seaside homes (some with private and on site swimming pools) to spacious apartments, luxury lodges and family-friendly cottages near the beach.
You’ll find our holiday homes have all you need to make a family holiday hassle-free too, with entertainment features, games rooms, cinema rooms, outdoor areas and rooms to accommodate multigenerational families.
For those travelling with younger children, we offer properties with baby-friendly items to make life simple, covering all the bases when it comes to catering to the needs of families who have little ones in tow.
We also know that family breaks aren’t just about the kids, so mums and dads can look forward to sumptuous king size beds, terrific views and on site spas in some of our properties, all set within the best towns and villages on or near the coasts of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset.
We know that family holidays are all about that perfect balance of relaxation and fun which is why our family-friendly cottages can be found close to some of Devon and Cornwall’s top attractions. As parents ourselves we’ve tried and tested what we think are some of the best in both counties, so that you can plan a full agenda of energy-burning frolics for the kids during your stay.
