Family Breaks in Newquay, Cornwall

The Esplanade Hotel in Cornwall is a family orientated hotel with a range of facilities including a spacious indoor and outdoor pool with pool edge seating with jacuzzi, sauna, children's play area, table tennis table, live entertainment and we even have our own surf school with wet rooms. The hotel is situated just a stone’s throw from the soft sands and interesting rock pools of Fistral Beach providing a fun environment for children of all ages.

The hotel provides an exciting range of free family activities throughout the Summer Holidays including treasure hunts, beach games, pamper nights, lad’s and dad’s football and a disco! We can also direct you to a wide range of other exciting activities including:

The Blue Reef Aquarium

This aquatic world is home to some truly incredible creatures. The sheer variety of their size, shape, colour and behaviour makes the world of land animals seem quite tame in comparison! From jellyfish and giant octopus to freshwater turtles, puffer fish and living corals, there are literally oceans of extraordinary characters to meet at the aquarium. Nothing’s ever quite what it seems either; there are fish that can walk, living fossils, creatures that can change shape and colour to fit their moods and even males that get pregnant and have babies!

Newquay Zoo

The award winning Newquay Zoo is set amongst exotic lakeside gardens with animals from all around the world ranging from the smallest monkey the Pygmy Marmoset to ‘Ronnie’ and ‘Connie’ the African Lions. Enjoy talks and feeding times throughout the day. See the very popular otter family playing in the stream in the Oriental Garden, which is also home to some rare and endangered animals like Owston’s Civets from Vietnam and stunning Hornbills from Asia. Look out for meerkats on sentry duty, penguins playing in their pool, the beautiful colouring of the Red Pandas and glimpse the strange and endangered lemurs and fossa.

Waterworld

Situated close to the zoo, Waterworld offers a Tropical Fun Pool with water cannon, tipper, slides, erupting volcano, flumes, spitting snakes & crocodile.

Crazy Golf

Challenge Dad to a game of Crazy Golf at one of the numerous Crazy Golf courses in and around Newquay offering fun for all the family!
