Hi all,


Ok, i have family coming over from Australia in the summer, and we are thinking of taking a family trip down to Cornwall, renting a cottage all together. We will need at least 4 bedrooms, possibly 5, and we have a little baby. I was wondering if anyone had rented anywhere that they could recommend?


Thanks for any tips!

Hi - we've done an annual holiday to Cornwall with the grandparents for the past few years. All of these places are great - Court Farm cottages, Bosinver Farm and Tredethick and totally geared up for kids. If you're after a hotel Bedruthen Steps is great and The Rosevine is lovely but a bit pricey.
Definitely recommend Coombe Mill too [http://www.coombemill.com/] we've been going for a few years as our family holiday. Gorgeous properties; scandanavian lodges (we stay in) or cottages. The owners are brilliant, really helpful - really honest too, which I've never known anywhere else! Perfect for kids, with daily feed run round the farm, feeding animals, helping drive tractor, and play areas too. Everything you could want to borrow in reception, which saves a bit of room in the car..!
We stayed here http://www.spinneywood.co.uk/location.html a couple of years ago with australian in laws - it was great! otherwise you might want to try www.nicheretreats.co.uk - porthleven is lovely. The restaurant here http://www.trelowarren.com/ is great but haven't seen the accommodation...
We stayed at Coombe mill farm, lovely place. Great for kids and somewhere you don't actually have to leave all day. Super area, not far from Polzeath beach or Padstow town. We've been with my parents twice; first time we stayed in one large cottage, last year we got two cottages next to each other, for a bit more space!!! Brilliant babysitting service at Coombe too.

We have a cottage in Devon we're starting to rent out this summer. It has bundles of character, garden and 2 pubs within spitting distance. We have 4 children so you can be sure it's child friendly and well equipped. It's just of the A30 so convenient for Cornwall and Devon attractions. We'll offer a 10% Discount to anyone on the East Dulwich forum, just PM me if you're interested.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
