Exploring the place to Get Together

The perfect pick for family holidays in Cornwall

With the beach as our playground with abundance of stunning Cornish coastline to explore, and our family friendly spaces to discover, The Esplanade Hotel in Newquay has everything covered for unforgettable holidays to Cornwall.

We’ve got everything needed under one roof for extended families and groups of all sizes to participate in an unforgettable Cornish adventure. We welcome each and every family member and when we say each family member, we mean it! Kids, parents, cousins, grandparents, great-grandparents, aunties, brothers and even the four-legged type of family member; we’re all about making the most out of life and creating an unforgettable memory by the beach, all together

Our large family rooms ensure you don’t miss a moment with the little nippers, think of it as an extended sleep over! We can ensure that members of the family are close by, and if the older generations prefer to wake to the sounds of the waves and sip their morning coffee on their own private balcony before breakfast; then we can make it happen.

Our on-site surf school gives the chance for families to try something new, head into the waters and breathe in the fresh Cornish sea air and if outdoor play isn’t on the agenda, our indoor heated pool is available to make a splash before hitting our indoor Cinema room for those cosy movie nights in!

We know that not everyone is always on the same schedule. Our flexible dining offering and times ensure each member of the family is fed at their preferred time, whether that’s a quick pre-bedtime snack or a later evening date night for mum and dad; our dining spaces have been created to ensure laid-back feeding. We’ve even got the babysitter covered, should the grown-ups wish to spend some time with each other in our restaurant or bars, without any little distractions.

Take a look at our selection of bedrooms here and you can book your next break online here.
