RecommendedFarm cottage resort with spa near Bude

Landal Whalesborough Resort & Spa

Bude, Cornwall

Proper cottages rather than caravans, each with its own garden, on a farm where small children can help feed the goats before breakfast. The spa is a genuine treat for parents, and Widemouth and Summerleaze beaches are minutes away for bucket-and-spade afternoons. Dogs are welcome everywhere.

Days out nearby

  • Eden Project ↗

    ~39 miles · ~45 mins

    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.

  • Exmoor Zoo ↗

    ~44 miles · ~45 mins

    Zoo · ideal day trip

    A small zoo where keeper talks and animal encounters are the highlight, including its famous 'Exmoor Beast' black leopard. It is intimate enough for toddlers and fits a north Devon coast weekend.

  • Newquay Zoo ↗

    ~44 miles · ~45 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.

  • Dartmoor Zoo ↗

    ~44 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.

  • Pennywell Farm ↗

    ~50 miles · ~1 hr

    Farm park · excellent toddler activity

    Home of miniature pigs, Pennywell runs an hourly programme of hands-on sessions so children cuddle piglets, ride ponies and drive pedal tractors. On the edge of Dartmoor and very well set up for little ones.
