Family Holiday Cottages in Cawsand

Cawsand sits with its twin village Kingsand on the sheltered Rame Peninsula, with a small sand-and-shingle beach backing straight onto narrow streets and colourful cottages. Staying in a family holiday cottage in Cawsand means you can wander down to Cawsand Bay for paddling, rockpooling and swimming in relatively calm water, then duck into one of the village cafés or pubs without ever needing the car. The beach slipway, sheltered bay and summer ferry across to Plymouth make it easy to mix simple seaside time with a change of scene across the Sound.

For families, days tend to flow between the sand, the little playground and short stretches of the South West Coast Path, with older children exploring rock pools while younger ones play at the water’s edge. You can add in a boat trip, a wander over to Kingsand or a longer walk out towards Rame Head when everyone has the energy, knowing you are never far from an ice cream or somewhere to sit and watch the boats. Having your own holiday home in the village means there is always a nearby base for naps, dry clothes and quiet evenings after a full day by the water.
