Your first Bosinver holiday with your baby

At Bosinver we have created a dedicated experience with babies and their families in mind. We know how stressful and exhausting those early days and sleepless nights can be, but we also know how beautiful they are and the magic of making those first memories as a family.

Preparing to take your new baby away on holiday can seem a daunting task, fraught with worries at every turn,ย  from cleanliness to packing equipment, cot suitability etc. We know, weโ€™ve been there ourselves so weโ€™ve jumped into your shoes and developed a baby stay that is designed to be magical and stress free. Our Bosinver Baby Sleep Retreat will make your stay here as easy as possible. With no time pressures here, you can plan your day around babyโ€™s feeds and naps. Thereโ€™s fresh air, fields to roam in and simple things to do – you can even pop baby into one of our backpack carriers and stroll down to the village pub or shop.


All our cosy, colourful cottages at Bosinver are cleaned to the highest standards of hygiene and are Covid safe with cleanliness guaranteed – 96% of our latest guest surveys rated Cleanliness Excellent or Good.

Our facilities onsite range from a toasty soft play barn, a stylish indoor pool heated to a baby friendly 30 degrees, bookableย  in hour long slots so you have it all to yourselves, a gym to work out in and a therapy room for some time just for yourself.


Forget loading the car to the roof with baby equipment – weโ€™ve got it all here – from baby back carriers to blackout blinds and baby baths for you to borrow free of charge.

To take the pressure off Mum and Dad we can guide you to other local services to make your stay even easier.

  • You can arrange for an accredited baby sitter to take care of your little one while you escape for a rare romantic dinner.
  • Book a therapist for some pampering and relaxation.
  • Book a private swimming class with Dawn, our qualified swimming instructor, and enjoy the wonder of your babyโ€™s first swim.
  • Order delicious ready made freezer meals from local chefs โ€˜Angels in the Kitchenโ€™ which can be popped into your freezer ready for your arrival.
  • Treat yourselves to a private chef who will come to your cottage and whip up a decadent dinner just for you.
  • Feast on a local Cornish food box hamper, ready and waiting for your arrival with a choice of Cornish goodies inside.

We are confident that you and your baby will have a brilliant stay here at Bosinver but donโ€™t just take our word for it…

“We spent the most fabulous few days here in November ย with our 3 month old baby & 3 year old. There was so much of interest that entertaining both boys & keeping them busy was just so easy! The house was really cosy & clean with a nice wooden cot provided for baby. We started every day with helping Farmer Dave feed the animals. My baby was fascinated by the sights & sounds of all the animals and my toddler loved joining in with the feeding. The soft play barn was perfect for both of them too. My baby could sit with me while we joined in make believe play time with my toddler or just laugh at him charging around the climbing frame. We thoroughly enjoyed splashing about in the pool which was beautifully warm for the baby too. There is a lovely short walk down a woodland track to the local pub in Polgooth which served up amazing food & all the staff were very welcoming to our small children.”

“My husband & I were even able to indulge in a massage from a mobile therapist in the soothing & comfortable treatment room one evening after the boys were in bed, absolute luxury & much needed as a new mum!”

“All in all we felt there was something for everyone during our stay at Bosinver & we made some very special memories with our little baby & our toddler.”
