Last-minute cottages by the sea

Searching for a spontaneous escape to the UK’s most sought-after coastal destinations couldn’t be easier. From planning a quick romantic getaway to whisking the clan away for an impromptu family holiday, you’ll find a range of properties to choose from like sea-view apartments, coastal cottages and beach houses, with our friendly team being on hand to answer any questions you have before you travel.

Booking a last-minute break comes with real advantages too. Like finding a home that’s usually fully booked, especially in popular areas like Newquay, St Ives, Brixham, Torquay, and Woolacombe, and mid-week stays giving you a quieter, more relaxed experience compared to busy weekends. It’s also an ideal option for shorter stays—perfect if you’re looking for a short break without committing to a full week.

Last minute stays in Devon

North Devon and South Devon are both fantastic choices for last-minute self-catering breaks all year round. A mix of sandy beaches, sparkling bays and charming seaside towns means there’s plenty to see and do. The South Hams is particularly popular, so nabbing a property at short notice in this beautiful part of the world is a win! For those looking for a change of pace, the nature and scenery around East Devon and Roadford Lake makes them great options for recharging after a busy work week.

Last minute breaks in Cornwall

Find the perfect place for your on-a-whim stay in the beautiful towns of Cornwall. Gwithian, Watergate Bay, Holywell Bay and Hayle are excellent choices for dog-friendly stays, especially out of peak season when you’ll have unrestricted access to their miles of sandy beaches. Mousehole, Penzance, Marazion and Newlyn are lovely places to visit for anyone looking to explore Mounts Bay, while the south coast boasts the stunning towns of Looe, Fowey and Falmouth.
