Discover a Half Term Full of Adventure
February half term is the perfect opportunity to escape the everyday and create cherished family memories by the coast. At The Esplanade Hotel in Newquay, we’ve crafted an experience that’s as fun and vibrant as the seaside itself. From thrilling activities to cosy family moments, this is your chance to enjoy a holiday where everyone – little ones and grown-ups alike – is entertained.

Stay in Comfort, Wake to the Waves
Perched overlooking the iconic Fistral Beach, we offer a warm and welcoming retreat for families and four-legged friends. Our stylish, family-friendly rooms are designed to ensure a comfortable stay, with thoughtful touches like bunk beds, spacious layouts, and even dog-friendly options – so no family member is left behind!

Waking up to the sound of the waves and a spectacular sea view sets the tone for a day of discovery. Whether you’re watching the sunrise from your window or wrapping up warm for a stroll along the sand, the magic of the Cornish coastline is right on your doorstep.

Endless Activities Await
This February, we’re bursting with activities to keep your little adventurers entertained. From arts and crafts to treasure hunts and surf lessons, there’s never a dull moment. For parents, this means precious time to unwind with a coffee, a Cornish gin, or even a moment of peace while watching your children explore and discover.

Why not dive into our indoor heated pool, or watch them explore the soft play, climb a pirate ship or cosy up in our in-house cinema. There’s plenty to keep everyone smiling, even if the weather isn’t. Discover onsite facilities.

Coast-side Dining for Every Appetite
No holiday is complete without delicious food, and our on-site Cove restaurant is here to please even the pickiest eaters. With a menu full of locally sourced produce, hearty dishes, and sweet treats, meal times are another chance to savour the best of Cornwall. Kids can tuck into their favourites, while parents enjoy a glass of wine alongside flavours inspired by the coast.

Explore Beyond
Newquay in Cornwall is a treasure trove of activities for families. From beachcombing and rock pooling at Fistral Beach to visiting local attractions like Newquay Zoo or the Blue Reef Aquarium, there’s something to delight every member of the family. And after a day of exploring, there’s nothing better than returning to the comfort of The Esplanade.
