May Bank Holiday breaks in Cornwall

Use one less day annual leave and book yourself a May Bank Holiday getaway in 2023.

The Early May Bank Holiday falls on Monday 1st May 2023 and gives you the perfect opportunity to enjoy a long weekend in Cornwall, or a week-long stay for only 4 days of annual leave.

Spring is a beautiful time to visit Cornwall. Coastal wildflowers bloom beside dramatic clifftops and the days last just that little bit longer, perfect for getting setup for sunsets on the beach.

Cornwall in May

The sea will still be quite cold from the coolness of winter, so a break in surfing hotspots like Newquay, Widemouth Bay and Bude could be a great idea to enjoy the quiet before the summer season.

Bodmin Moor is a wonderful place to explore in springtime, perfect for those who enjoy walking and hiking. The town of Bodmin is a great base for these adventures, and is home to some great attractions itself, like Bodmin Jail, Cardinham Woods and Pencarrow House and Gardens.

Venturing further into South Cornwall, the rugged coast of the Lizard Peninsula is a walkers playgrounds, and also isn’t too far from Flambard’s Theme Park if you’ve got little ones in tow.

Gorran Haven and Mevagissey on the south coast of Cornwall are delightful villages to stay in. Both near to a number of beaches, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, and the South West Coast Path.

Find your ideal May Bank Holiday break

If you’d like to use your May Bank Holiday break to unwind and relax, why not book a Cornwall cottage with a hot tub? There’s plenty of different styles and types, even lodges and log cabins with hot tubs too.

Seek out some adventures on the coast with a beach cottage, and wake up to waves crashing on the shores just moments from you.

At Cornish Cottage Holidays, we can even offer holiday cottages on holiday resorts, like Tresooth Cottages, or the Retallack Resort & Spa properties.

Book your May Bank Holiday break with Cornish Cottage Holidays today.
