Christmas Breaks in Cornwall

Wake up to the beach on Christmas Day in your self-catering holiday cottage in Cornwall. Take a bracing walk along the shoreline, cosy up by a log fire and indulge in some local, seasonal produce. You may even get to see the beaches covered in snow; a perfect Christmas picture.

The Eden Project and ice rink

One of Cornwall’s most visited and iconic attractions, the Eden Project has a wonderful programme of events throughout the festive season from the extremely popular ice rink to lantern parades. Visiting the Eden Project at Christmas is a must.

Visit Mousehole

Mousehole, a picturesque village in South West Cornwall, puts on what’s argued to be the best Christmas lights display anywhere in the country. For two weeks the fishing village is transformed into a winter wonderland with lights all around the harbour and in the hills above. See our self-catering holiday cottages in Mousehole.

Take a dip

It’s traditional to take a Christmas Day dip in Cornwall, but we suggest taking a dip regardless of what day it is. Take a deep breath and jump in the cold winter water and then head home for a well-deserved hot chocolate.

Head to Truro Cathedral for their Christmas service, where real live stock feature in the best nativity you’ll ever see.
