The Nare
Truro, Cornwall
Old-school luxury done warmly: the garden opens onto a safe sandy beach, children have their own early dinner while you dress for yours, and staff will arrange a babysitter. Grandparents love it too, which makes it a lovely three-generation weekend. Take a trip out on the hotel's own boat.

Nature / outdoors · nearby attraction
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.
~20 miles · ~30 mins
Zoo · ideal day trip
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.
~54 miles · ~1 hr
Zoo · ideal day trip
The zoo made famous by 'We Bought a Zoo' sits on the edge of Dartmoor, with big cats, bears and wolves in wooded enclosures. A good, uncrowded outing for families staying on the moor or near Plymouth.
