October holidays at Daymer Bay – phone for October 2027 availability. Linkside is a charming 1920s colonial-style house just
200 yards from the sandy beach at Daymer Bay, on the sheltered shores of the Camel Estuary. With room for 12–14 guests,
secluded mature gardens, a veranda and a balcony, it is a superb choice for a big family get-together or a
multi-generation October holiday.
Autumn is a lovely time to be on the estuary: the summer crowds have gone, the light is soft and golden, and the
sunsets over the water are spectacular. Walk across the dunes to the little St Enodoc Church, climb Brea Hill for views
over Padstow and Rock, or follow the coast path round to Polzeath. The passenger ferry from Rock to Padstow makes an easy
day out for lunch, and the Camel Trail is perfect for a family bike ride under the autumn trees.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome, so the whole family can enjoy blustery beach walks before heading back to the
house for a cosy evening together.

October and November breaks in Polzeath. Stepper Head is just 5 minutes' walk from Polzeath's
famous surfing beach, coastal paths, shops and restaurants, quietly located at the end of a cul-de-sac. The bungalow sleeps 6,
with the master bedroom enjoying its own sitting room and en-suite, plus self-contained accommodation for 2 more guests in the
separate annexe – ideal for families or two couples holidaying together.
Autumn is a great time for surfing at Polzeath, with consistent Atlantic swells and quieter line-ups once the summer
holidays are over – local surf schools and board hire make it easy to have a go. Walk out to Pentire Point and The Rumps for
dramatic headland views, follow the coast path to Daymer Bay and Rock, or drive along the coast to the fishing village of
Port Isaac.
After a day outdoors, relax in the large garden with its far-reaching views over open countryside. With parking
for 4 cars and weeks available through October and November, it is an ideal base for an autumn holiday on the North Cornwall
coast.
October is a wonderful time for a Cornish holiday. Autumn colour spreads through the wooded valleys, Atlantic swells bring the surf to life, and the coast paths are peaceful after the busy summer. With the October half term offering a chance for a family getaway and prices lower than in peak season, an autumn self-catering break in Cornwall offers great value and a real sense of escape.
Why Choose Cornwall in October?
Cornwall's mild climate means October days are often bright and comfortable for walking, with the sea still relatively warm from the summer. It's a fantastic month for experienced surfers along the north coast at Polzeath, Newquay and Perranporth, and for storm watching when the autumn weather rolls in. Quieter villages such as Port Isaac, Boscastle and Daymer Bay are at their most relaxed, making October ideal for couples and walkers as well as families.
October Half Term Holidays in Cornwall
October half term is one of the busiest weeks of the autumn, and holiday cottages in popular locations book up quickly. Look out for late availability for half term week, including larger houses sleeping 10 or more that are perfect for multi-generation family holidays. Many properties welcome dogs, so the whole family can enjoy beach walks – many Cornish beaches relax their seasonal dog restrictions from October (check local signs).
October Self-Catering Deals and Special Offers
Outside half term, October is an excellent month for special offers. Owners often discount weekly rates, offer percentage savings on autumn bookings and accept short breaks, making it easy to fit a Cornish holiday around your plans. From colonial-style houses a short walk from Daymer Bay to cottages in Boscastle and farm cottages near Port Isaac, there is a wide choice of accommodation at reduced autumn prices.
What to Do in Cornwall in October
October is a great month for wildlife: grey seals are pupping around the coast, and migrating birds pass through Cornwall's estuaries and headlands. Food lovers can enjoy the Falmouth Oyster Festival and autumn produce in local pubs and restaurants. The Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and many National Trust houses and gardens are open through the autumn, and cosy pubs make the perfect end to a day on the coast. Check opening times before you travel, as some attractions change their hours after the summer.
