Luxury Cornwall holidays that leave you in a better place
Long lunches that drift into the afternoon. Days shaped by the tides. Time together without watching the clock. Find a home that makes room for the things you’ve been missing.
Proudly independent, Cornish Gems has specialised in luxury self-catering holidays in Cornwall since 2007. From the lively harbour towns of St Ives, Padstow, Newquay and Falmouth to the peaceful villages of The Roseland and The Lizard, our collection of characterful cottages, eco-retreats and celebration homes spans Cornwall’s coast and countryside.
Find somewhere for a quiet weekend, a family summer or a celebration worth gathering for. Our trusted Cornish partners bring something special to your stay, from private dining and wellbeing treatments to adventures on the water.
Behind every holiday is a love of Cornwall and a commitment to looking after the place we call home. It’s an approach reflected in our B Corp certification and our 2026 Country & Town House Future Icons award for Responsible Travel Experience in the UK.
