A family holiday by the Cornish coast
Some of the best holiday moments happen between the days out
It's often the easy, unhurried parts a family remembers — a morning swim before breakfast, a long lunch together, an afternoon exploring the coast, and an evening back at a comfortable holiday home with space to relax. A self-catering stay at Foxes Lair or Hedgehogs Home gives you all of that, with the shared heated outdoor pool at Granite Henge there whenever you fancy a dip.
Both retreats are at Granite Henge, Trelawne Cross, near Looe and Polperro in South East Cornwall — a short drive from Looe's sandy town beach and working harbour, and close to the fishing village of Polperro. Each has two bedrooms, sleeps up to four, and comes with a self-catering kitchen and on-site parking. It's a practical, welcoming base for families — and the pool makes it feel like a proper holiday.
