Why February is the Perfect Time for a Cornish Getaway

Travel experts at Parkdean Resorts highlight four key reasons why February half-term is a great time to book a staycation in Cornwall:

1. More Choice, Better Prices

Booking early ensures a wider range of accommodation options at better prices. With Cornwall’s half-term starting on 17th February, demand is expected to increase, meaning last-minute bookers may face higher prices or limited availability.

2. Discover Cornwall’s Hidden Gems

February is an ideal time to explore Cornwall’s quieter beaches and lesser-known spots. From Trevose Head’s secluded coves to the iconic St Michael’s Mount, there are plenty of scenic spots to enjoy away from the summer crowds.

3. Family-Friendly Fun

Families visiting Cornwall in February can take advantage of Parkdean Resorts’ Feb Fest 2025, featuring activities like:

• Indoor swimming pools
• Arts and crafts workshops
• Live music from tribute acts and Britain’s Got Talent stars

4. Fewer Crowds, More Relaxation

Unlike the summer rush, February offers a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere, making it easier to explore Cornwall’s top attractions, book restaurants, and enjoy the region at a slower pace.
