Thurlestone Hotel
Kingsbridge, Devon
A classic, beautifully run family hotel above a string of South Devon beaches. Big T's club keeps 6–12s busy in the holidays, there are pools inside and out, and kids' supper means a grown-up dinner later. Rock pools at Thurlestone Rock are a short walk away.

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.

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.
