October 2026 Late Availability in Cornwall

October half term at Daymer Bay – now reduced to £1,995 for the week of Friday 16 to Friday 23 October, and £1,295 for Wednesday 28 October to Sunday 1 November with late check-out. 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.

Autumn breaks in Boscastle – 15% off in October and November. Tao Cottage is a spacious cottage for 6 in the picturesque village of Boscastle, just a few minutes uphill from the historic harbour – the perfect place to relax, unwind and explore North Cornwall out of season.

October is one of the best months to visit Boscastle. The wooded Valency Valley turns to autumn colours, and the riverside walk up to St Juliot Church – where Thomas Hardy met his first wife – is a favourite autumn stroll. Watch the Atlantic swell crash against the harbour walls, visit the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, or take the coast path past Pentargon waterfall and on towards Tintagel Castle.

With 15% off weekly bookings in October and November, it is a great-value base for a half term family holiday or a peaceful late autumn getaway, with cosy pubs and cafés a short walk away in the village.
