Easter is coming, and we would love to see you here at Kilminorth! The spring is a beautiful time to visit our cottages, with flowers blossoming in the woodlands, the Cornish landscape turning green, and the warm morning sunshine greeting you as you set out for a family day full of adventure. During the holidays, we also have an eggcellent Easter egg hunt across our historic site for all to enjoy, and children will receive an Easter activity book to entertain them during their stay.
Our cottages, which are just outside of Looe, are the perfect base from which to explore the local area, and along with our Easter hunt, there are plenty of other activities to enjoy during your visit. We have rounded up a few to explore over the holidays, whether you stay local or fancy a drive out for a day of adventure.

Plymouth Barbican Easter Trail

The annual Easter trail is on for the duration of the school holidays, so it can be enjoyed alongside the Easter Fun Day or as an extra excursion on a sunny day. You can collect your trail sheet from the tourist information office and plan your route to enjoy this historic quarter of the city.

Trenython Manor Easter Fun Day

Situated near Fowey to the west of Kilminorth, Trenython Manor was originally built 1872 and is surrounded by 24 acres of stunning Cornish countryside. The manor now has many uses and is hosting an Easter Fun Day for the whole family. There will be games, crafts and a puzzle solving adventure for detectives of all ages. The event lasts from 11am – 2.30pm, after which you can enjoy a short drive into Fowey, a beautiful Cornish port town with narrow mediaeval streets, Georgian buildings and a picturesque harbour full of maritime history.
Wadebridge – 25 miles approx.
When: 29th March
The Betjeman Centre in Wadebridge is hosting a pottery pop-up especially for Easter. The whole family can get creative and paint a fun pottery item – you can choose traditional items including a plate, mug, bowl or coasters, or feel inspired to paint a dinosaur, dragon, mermaid or gnome. The session allows for 1.5 hours after which you can enjoy exploring the village before heading home. The items will need to be fired and will be ready for either collection or post within 3-4 weeks, providing a lovely memento from your Easter break.
After enjoying the beautiful scenery and small towns surrounding Kilminorth, you can relax at your cottage, enjoy an evening walk before settling by the fire pit to share stories from your day, and plan the next adventure.
We look forward to welcoming you! Explore our cottages here and book your springtime stay with us.
