Cosy Season in Cornwall: Things to Do on an Autumn Break
There’s something special about Cornwall once the busy summer months come to an end. The beaches become a little quieter, the countryside starts to change colour and cooler days bring the perfect excuse to slow down.
Autumn is a lovely time to visit Tregolls, whether you’re planning a few peaceful days away, exploring more of Cornwall or simply looking forward to cosy evenings back at your cottage.
Here are a few of our favourite ways to enjoy cosy season in Cornwall.
Wrap Up for a Coastal Walk
You don’t need summer sunshine to enjoy the Cornish coast. In fact, autumn can be one of the loveliest times to get out for a walk.
Wrap up warm, choose a stretch of the coast path and enjoy the fresh sea air, dramatic views and quieter paths. Afterwards, there’s nothing better than heading somewhere warm for lunch or returning to your cottage for a cup of tea.
Head Out for a Coffee
A good coffee stop is always welcome on a cooler day ☕
Cornwall has plenty of independent cafés to discover, so make time for a slow morning with a coffee and something sweet before heading off to explore.
Padstow, Wadebridge and many of the surrounding towns and villages have some lovely spots to choose from.
Explore a Cornish Town or Village
Autumn is a great time to explore some of Cornwall’s best-known towns and villages at a slightly slower pace.
Wander around Padstow harbour, explore the streets of Port Isaac or spend a few hours closer to home in Wadebridge. Browse the independent shops, stop somewhere for lunch and enjoy having a little more time to take everything in.
Stop for a Cosy Pub Lunch
After a morning spent exploring, find a cosy Cornish pub, settle in and enjoy a long lunch.
Good food, a drink and somewhere warm to sit while it’s grey outside is one of the simple pleasures of an autumn break.
Embrace the Cornish Mizzle
We can’t promise blue skies every day, especially at this time of year!
A little Cornish mizzle is all part of an autumn stay. Take a slower morning, visit a local café, explore somewhere indoors or simply enjoy having an excuse to spend a little more time relaxing at your cottage.
Come Back and Get Cosy at Tregolls
After a day exploring Cornwall, head back to the peace and quiet of the farm.
Put the kettle on, light the fire and settle in for the evening. If you’re staying in Rose Cottage, you can even run a warm outdoor bath and enjoy the countryside views while the cooler autumn air rolls in.
Sometimes the best part of an autumn break is having nowhere else you need to be.
