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!

Our family friendly cottages are all about relaxation and spending time together, so all have been selected to add a sprinkling of luxury to your sandy escape. Take your pick from luxury lodges near the beach with skylights and hot tubs, sprawling country villas with swimming pools, sleek waterside apartments, coastal cottages and boutique villas.
We handpick only the finest properties that go the extra mile to create a relaxing and homely getaway for the whole clan. You’ll find modern designs with all the little touches that make a family holiday so special as well as properties that specifically cater to multigenerational families by offering separate annexes and a plethora of baby equipment to make things super comfortable for you during your stay.
Anyone travelling with children, especially those of a younger age, know the challenges parents face when trying to find a perfectly equipped holiday home so properties like Lodge 40 Retallack and Coast at Beachdown have covered all the bases when it comes to providing a luxury holiday home that manages to cater beautifully to the needs of families who have little ones in tow.
We also know that family breaks aren’t just about the kids, so the mums and dads can look forward to sumptuous king size beds, breathtaking views and on site spas in some of our properties, all set within the best towns and villages in Cornwall, Devon 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.
