Inspiration
Making memories since 1978
Welcome to the family
Our founder and family member, Ruth Austen, first shared her passion for the area we call home way back in 1978, promising only the best in cottages and care. Today, her values remain at the heart of all we do at Cornish Holiday Cottages. We’re a small and friendly team, and all local to the area. All our properties are close by and we know them from tip to toe. So we’re on hand. And you can be sure you’ll be looked after as one of the family. Just as Ruth would’ve liked.

We love our little corner of the world and know that you will too. It’s why our interactive guide is bursting to the brim with tips and treats and all our favourite spots in Cornwall – from that tucked-away gem of a woodfired restaurant to the most idyllic secret coves. We’ve got you covered from the moment you step outside the door of your self-catering holiday home. And we can’t wait to show you around.
