Many will opt for self catering accommodation, but there are also campsites, caravan parks, hotels, and even Youth Hostels. The advantage of self catering accommodation is the freedom it offers. You can relax and be yourself, enjoy your holiday at your own pace in your own space.

For many years tourism has been the most important industry in Cornwall, long surpassing the old traditional industries of agriculture, fishing and mining.

This change has meant that considerable numbers of properties in the county have been re-purposed to serve this important money spinner for the local economy. What used to be fishermen’s cottages in pretty little fishing villages are now well appointed, comfortable self catering accommodation, and the same holds true for old agricultural cottages, and even miners cottages up on the secluded moors, and of course there are also many fine new purpose built self catering homes.

Finding and choosing your ideal self catering holiday accommodation couldn’t be easier in this day and age. A little browsing around on Google should turn up heaps of superb options for you to choose from.

Take little time to do your research. Also check to see exactly what comes with your booking in terms of supplied linen, heating and so forth.
