The Headland
Newquay, Cornwall
A grand red-brick hotel on its own headland above Fistral. Little ones get a splash pool of their own, teenagers get a surf school on the doorstep, and everyone gets pitch and putt and space to run. The cottages are brilliant if you'd rather cook your own tea.

Zoo · same resort / on site
A small, leafy zoo set in subtropical gardens, easy to cover in half a day with little ones. Lemurs, penguins and red pandas are the stars, and it slots neatly between beach sessions on a Cornwall break.

Nature / outdoors · ideal day trip
Giant biomes hold a rainforest with a canopy walkway and a Mediterranean garden, set in a former clay pit. Children love the scale and the play areas; it is a Cornwall essential whatever the weather.
