May holidays in Cornwall – FAQs

Yes. Outside the bank holiday weekends and half term, May often has good-value late vacancies and special offers on self-catering cottages across Cornwall.

The Early May bank holiday is Monday 3 May 2027 and the Spring bank holiday is Monday 31 May 2027. Cornwall Council's May half term runs from 31 May to 4 June 2027.

Padstow's 'Obby 'Oss celebrations take place on May Day (1 May), and Helston's Flora Day with the famous Furry Dance is held on 8 May, which falls on a Saturday in 2027. Accommodation near both towns books up quickly.

Yes. May is one of the best months to visit – bluebells and wildflowers line the coast path, the days are long, and the beaches are much quieter than in summer.

May is often sunny and settled, with daytime temperatures usually 14–17°C. The sea is warming up, and it's a great time for walking, cycling and rock pooling.

Yes, many cottages welcome dogs. Seasonal dog restrictions apply on some popular beaches from Easter to the end of September, but plenty of beaches and the coast path still allow dogs – check local signs.

Contact the owner directly using the phone number, email or website link on each listing. Cornwall Online does not take bookings or charge a fee, so you deal with the owner and can ask about dates, prices and short breaks before you book.

More about May in Cornwall

May is one of the loveliest months of the year in Cornwall. The hedgerows are full of bluebells and wild garlic, the days are long and often sunny, and the beaches are still peaceful before the summer holidays. With two bank holiday weekends and half term at the end of the month, it's a great time for a self-catering holiday – and there are good late vacancies to be found.

Why Choose Cornwall in May?

May offers settled weather, warming seas and some of the best walking of the year. Outside the bank holidays, prices are well below summer rates and you'll often have the coast path and the smaller coves almost to yourself.

May Bank Holidays and Half Term

The Early May bank holiday is Monday 3 May 2027, and the Spring bank holiday is Monday 31 May, which starts Cornwall Council's half term (31 May to 4 June). These weeks book first, so look out for late vacancies on this page – the weeks in between are usually the best value.

May Day and Flora Day

Cornwall celebrates spring in style. On 1 May Padstow's 'Obby 'Oss dances through the town from morning to night, and on 8 May (a Saturday in 2027) Helston's Flora Day fills the streets with the famous Furry Dance. Both are unforgettable – and accommodation nearby is in demand.

What to Do in Cornwall in May

Walk the clifftops at Kynance Cove or between Polzeath and Port Isaac, go rock pooling at low tide, cycle the Camel Trail, or visit the Eden Project and Cornwall's great gardens as the rhododendrons and azaleas reach their peak. May is also a good time to spot basking sharks and dolphins from the headlands.
