Sunshine, sea air and summer days done right

Summer in Cornwall is all about getting outside and making the most of nature. Longer days, warm sea breeze, and that feeling of having more time to do it all.

At The Vale, you’re perfectly placed to make the most of it. Close to the coast for seaside adventures, yet tucked away in the countryside so you can come back, reset, and do it all again the next day.

Just 5 miles from Looe, Polperro, and Fowey, it’s the kind of place where family holidays feel full, but never rushed. And when you can get a 7-night stay for just £32pppn*, it’d be rude not to have a look…

 

Beach days, the Cornish way

When you stay at The Vale, you’re just 3 miles away from the nearest beach, with plenty more just a short drive away. Check out our blog on Cornwall’s best beaches here.

Head into Looe for classic family beach days filled with sandcastles, rockpooling and ice creams, or wander over to Polperro, a picturesque fishing village with a small sheltered beach and harbour that’s perfect for paddling and exploring.

For something a little quieter, nearby coves like Talland Bay offer peaceful spots to lay out your towel or simply take in the views.

And the best part? After a day by the sea, you can leave the crowds behind and come back to your own calm space at The Vale. Trade the sea for your very own outdoor copper bath or hot tub - the summer fun never has to stop!

 

Exploring Cornwall (without the rush)

This summer, get out and make the most of everything Cornwall has to offer.

Spend your days exploring the South West Coast Path, discovering hidden coves, and enjoying slow evenings in nearby villages like Looe and Polperro. From beach days and water sports to boat trips from Looe harbour, there’s something new around every corner - whether you plan it all out or just see where the day takes you.

If you’d rather leave the planning to someone else, guided experiences with Cornish Tours are a great way to see more of the area. From historical walking tours to culinary experiences, they take care of it all. Just remember to mention your stay at The Vale when booking and you’ll enjoy complimentary collection from your lodge or cottage!

It’s the kind of place where every day can look a little different.

 

Slow days at The Vale

Some of the best moments happen when you don’t go anywhere at all.

At The Vale, there’s space for the kids to play freely at the on-site play park, while nearby woodland walks offer an easy way to explore nature straight from the comfort of your self-catering accommodation.

As the day winds down, spend your evenings gathered around the campfire corner, toasting marshmallows and enjoying that relaxed, end-of-day feeling. Or simply unwind in your own private hot tub or outdoor copper bath (we know adults need a quiet moment to themselves at the end of the day.)

 

Time together, made easy

Family holidays should feel simple, and at The Vale, everything is set up to help you settle in from the moment you arrive.

Spacious eco-lodges and cottages, fully equipped kitchens, and thoughtful extras mean you can focus on enjoying your time together.

Start the day with a local butcher’s breakfast pack, perfect for slow, al fresco mornings on your private decking. Travelling with little ones? High chairs and travel cots are available free of charge, so there’s less to think about when packing.

And if you fancy adding a little more to your stay, there are plenty of extras to choose from, all designed to make your break feel effortless. See our full list of extras and experiences here.
