One that’s great value for money, family-friendly and also provides some of the comforts you’re used to at home? Then look no further, because Tremeale Holiday Cottages, near the town of Launceston, provide just that.

These four recently converted barns are luxury self-catering cottages and are perfect for couples and families. They each sleep up to four people, and are nestled in some of the most stunning landscape that Cornwall has to offer.

But what makes these cottages, unique from many others, is the attention to detail that the owners have invested in them. The interiors are modern, simple and stylish – without a hint of chintz in sight. Whether you’re searching for a romantic location or need to find a chilled-out place for your family to crash out at the end of an fun-filled day, these holiday cottages are just the ticket.

Each property has all the usual mod cons you’d expect, as well as free WiFi, flat screen TVs and hundreds of Freeview films on offer. The standard of upkeep is second to none – just take a look at the online guestbook and see what other holidaymakers have said http://www.tremealeholidays.co.uk/guestbook.htm.

The four cottages are situated around a charming courtyard and share the exclusive use of a private outdoor pool that’s solar-heated. Of course there are several beautiful beaches within easy reach, but the pool is ideal for that early-morning dip or for those days when you want to just relax in privacy.

You can also make use of the BBQ and have dinner al fresco, sitting in the charming garden that overlooks the gorgeous surrounding countryside. For energetic children, there’s a playground area, with swings, slides and two trampolines. Even the very young are made to feel welcome - each cottage has a high chair and cot.

And when you do summon the energy to explore further afield, Tremeale Cottages are perfectly positioned for touring the beaches of Cornwall and Devon, as well as reaching popular destinations such as the Eden project and Padstow. Just a mile away are all the shops, cafes and pubs that the town of Launceston has to offer.

Shippen 1 and Shippen 2 are both situated on one floor and have a double bedroom and a twin room each. Mill 1 and Mill 2 are both charming ‘upside down’ cottages with the bedrooms on the ground floor; again a double room and twin room each. Each of the Tremeale cottages has been renovated to a high standard, with modern light fittings, clean, contemporary linen and comfortable, ample seating. The serene, fuss-free interiors all add to creating an atmosphere of total relaxation.

All cottages have large open plan living areas that also include kitchen, dishwashers and laundry facilities.

Luxuriate on the beautiful coast in Cornwall and dive into all that the area has to offer. Whether you want to try your hand at crabbing or surfing Cornwall is the perfect economical family destination with some great deals still to be had from Cornish cottage owners.

Picture this: stunning sandy beaches, unspoilt coastlines, fantastic food and a truly child-friendly environment. And the best part? You don’t have to struggle through an airport to get on a plane. No, you’re not dreaming. If you want an idyllic, chilled-out holiday this year - one that leaves you feeling chilled-out rather than stressed - think Cornwall. Experience the awe-inspiring surroundings for yourself and make your precious family holiday memorable for all the right reasons.

And with such breath-taking scenery just outside your door, you’re never at a loss for things to do. Take the children crabbing for hours - they’ll adore it and you will too, as it costs practically nothing. All you need is a line and some bait (available from local fishmongers). Collect the tiny crabs in a bucket of water if you want a closer look, but keep them in the shade and don’t forget to put them back at the end of the day. They’re not edible! However, there are scores of local restaurants where you can try all kinds of yummy seafood, including crab and fish caught that very day. Whatever you choose to do while in Cornwall, you’ll want the flexibility that only a holiday cottage can offer. For some of the best, most comfortable and charming self catering Cornish cottages, you should plan your Cornwall holiday cottage today.

Padstow is worth a visit. It’s a popular location for crabbing, with its circular harbour wall. And after a day of waiting for the little nippers to bite, you can indulge in some tasty seafood courtesy of Rick Stein. Choose from the restaurant, bistro, pub or fish and chip shop for some of the best, freshest seafood you’ll ever taste.

If you’re near Looe, try the popular Banjo Pier for crabbing, then go on to the Old Sail Loft Restaurant for a delicious, slap-up seafood dinner. A amazing building, steeped in history, rumour has it that it was once popular with smugglers. It’s now one of the oldest buildings in Looe with parts of it dating back 450 years.

If crabbing is a bit too sedate for you and your family, and you’d rather catch waves than crabs, why not try your hand at water sports Perfect locations are Constantine Bay and Harlyn Bay. As well as surfing, there’s paddle-boarding and kayaking for all ages. And you don’t have to be an aficionado to enjoy the water sports. There are several schools where you can learn to take to the waves at your own pace. In fact, the Harlyn Surf School has been named the ‘best on the North Cornish Coast’ by the Sunday Times.
