Family Holiday Cottages in Maenporth

Maenporth is a sheltered sandy cove a couple of miles from Falmouth, with gently sloping sand, shallow water and rockpools that make it especially appealing for families. Staying in a family holiday cottage in Maenporth means you can wander down to the beach for paddling, dam-building in the little stream and simple games on the sand, with a café and loos close enough that you can stay as long as the children are happy. The setting feels tucked away, but you are still only a short drive from Falmouth’s bigger range of attractions and boat trips.

Family days here often revolve around the curve of the bay. A morning in the sea and rockpools, lunch from the beach café or a picnic on the sand, then perhaps a short coastal walk before heading back up the hill. On other days you can drive into Falmouth for Pendennis Castle, the National Maritime Museum Cornwall or a ferry ride, knowing you have a quiet cove to return to. A self-catering holiday home above Maenporth gives you somewhere close to drop bags, rinse off sandy feet and enjoy an easy evening while the beach settles below.
