Devon/Cornwall recommendations:updated - booked Falmouth
We are looking at booking a cottage or apartment for next July/August in Devon or Cornwall but it’s something we haven’t done for donkeys years and we are a bit out of touch with areas and accessibility to beaches with a baby and two elderly people (that’s me and DH! Lol). I can’t be doing with cliffs and steep steps plus we would most likely have a buggy. Hoping to find a little gem somewhere with a nice sandy beach and an ice cream shop! We have been to Exmouth when our DD was in a buggy and that was nice but she’s the one with the baby now so as you can see, it’s been a while!

I live quite near Exmouth. Did you want to try a different area or similar?

Falmouth has accessible town beaches, plenty of shops and good accessibility for a toddler. It also has access to boat excursions to the Helford, St Mawes and Truro. It has a Castle and some great scenery in the area.
Looe would fit the bill. Mevagissey. Exmouth.

You are very welcome. I picked this area to live for very good reasons!
Should you decide on the area, then I can give you some great, easy to visit locations in the immediate area.

How about West Dorset (Lyme Regis etc) or the Sidmouth area? Like Exmouth and close but nicer (apologies to any Exmouthians).

No, Sidmouth is pebbles (sorry! I missed or forgot you asked for sand!)
Lyme is a pain for parking. If you stayed there (this is going to sound really sad as we live so close but we rented a cottage last year for three nights with my sister) you could get a place with parking? It was a bit of a walk down to the beach but manageable and we had a drive which took two cars Although I live in Devon I’m from Dorset and have family in Bridport- glad you enjoyed it Edited at 09:32 AM. |

Thank you. Yeah we prefer sand because we think it’s more convenient - making sandcastles is on the list! Lyme Regis is such a quaint place, it’s easy to see why it gets so busy. We have been visiting Bridport (but particularly West Bay) for over 40 years. We used to know the landlord of the Bridport Arms back in the day. We love everything around there and often stayed at the Marquess of Lorne amongst other places. The kids (who are now nearly 30!) didn’t like the beach there because of the pebbles but we loved it. Nice place. Lucky you. The parking tip is a good one - not just for Lyme Regis! Didn’t really think about that!
