Are you looking for a super family friendly holiday in Cornwall? Somewhere children and adults can let imaginations run free and spend quality time together. Bosinver Farm is laid out much like a small hamlet with 20 detached self-catering cottages. It is set in 30 acres of beautiful countryside in the heart of Cornwall just a stone’s throw away from the stunning south coast.

When it comes to luxury family holidays, we have left no stone unturned and have perfected the award-winning experience offered to guests for the last 25 years. Each cottage is detached, not overlooked by another and all offering something unique. Every property has been lovingly designed and decorated – Bosinver is all about colour attention to detail. From traditional thatched cottages to an eco house with a hot tub and cosy cottages for small families to big cottages for larger family gatherings, we will definitely have a cottage to suit your family.

Bosinver not only boasts a luxurious cottage stay, but there’s also a whole host of activities and facilities included in your holiday too – from pony rides, daily animal feeding with Farmer Dave and Wild Kids Club (forest school) and so much more. You can even borrow a whole host of family friendly equipment; everything has been thought of – just ask. This makes packing up the car a breeze as you won’t need to bring everything but the kitchen sink!

Whilst it is very much a self-catering holiday past guests have described it as an all-inclusive experience. The fact that so much is included in a holiday is one of the many reasons Bosinver holidays are highly sought after with 80% of guests return year after year. (We’ve worked out that these extras work out at £475 compared to similar places who charge extra).

It’s the perfect place to start making memories to last a lifetime, pre-schooler to teens, and adults, to everyone in between Bosinver has something for the whole family.

Come on down, take your watch off, pack up a picnic and leave the phone behind, you’ll be gone for hours as you and your kids explore the natural world of Bosinver. Get your wellies on, splash in the puddles, discover hidden adventures around every corner with our outdoor play areas where even the parents can climb, zip, slide and release their inner child. Will you go down the big green slide?! Wildlife and nature are abundant here on the farm, you’ll spot creatures great and small if you look carefully – you might even spot a heron down by the lake.

After all this, if you still have time, there’s a whole county to see! Bosinver’s location in Cornwall is ideally positioned to visit some of the best beaches and top tourist attraction in the county. The world-famous Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan are just a 10-minute drive away as is the popular fishing port of Charlestown or Mevagissey.

If you would like a super family friendly holiday in Cornwall then we are confident Bosinver is what you might be looking for. Spend a few days, a week or longer on the farm. Meet Farmer Dave, feed the animals, make a splash in the swimming pool and reconnect with each other on our family run farmstay in the heart of Cornwall.
