More about December in Cornwall

December is a magical time to visit Cornwall. Harbour villages sparkle with festive lights, log fires crackle in cosy pubs, and the wild winter coast is at its most dramatic. Whether you're planning a Christmas family gathering, a romantic winter hideaway or a peaceful New Year break, a self-catering cottage in Cornwall gives you the space and freedom to celebrate the festive season your way.

Why Choose Cornwall in December?

Cornwall's mild coastal climate makes winter walking a pleasure, and December's clear days reward walkers with long views along the coast. Early December is one of the quietest times of the year, with some of the lowest holiday prices, while the Christmas and New Year weeks bring a festive atmosphere to towns and villages across the county.

Christmas and New Year Cottages in Cornwall

Spending Christmas in a Cornish holiday cottage has become a much-loved tradition for many families. Self-catering lets you cook your own festive feast, relax without hotel timetables and bring the dog along too. Larger farm cottages and village houses are ideal for extended families, while smaller cottages in places such as Boscastle and Port Isaac make perfect romantic winter retreats. Christmas and New Year weeks are popular, so contact owners early to secure late availability.

Festive Events in Cornwall

Mousehole's famous harbour Christmas lights are a highlight of the Cornish winter, and on 23 December the village celebrates Tom Bawcock's Eve with its traditional stargazy pie. Towns across Cornwall hold Christmas markets, lantern parades and carol services, and the Eden Project hosts seasonal events. Check dates in advance and allow extra time for travel and parking at popular events.

What to Do in Cornwall in December

A festive walk along the South West Coast Path is the perfect way to work up an appetite, and many visitors take part in charity Boxing Day or New Year's Day swims. Winter is a good time to spot grey seals and seabirds along the coast, while gardens, galleries and local shops offer plenty of indoor options on wetter days. Always check opening hours over the Christmas period, as many attractions close on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
