Why 2026 is the Year for a West Country Escape
As the confetti settles and the calendar turns, there’s a familiar feeling in the air—the itch for something new. If your New Year’s resolution involves slower mornings, salt-crusted skin, and more time spent with the ones you love (including the four-legged members of the family!), you’re in the right place.
At Breakwater Holidays, we believe the best way to start the year isn’t with a restrictive diet, but with a restorative view. Whether it’s the rugged cliffs of North Cornwall or the rolling greenery of Devon, 2026 is your year to rediscover the South West.
Here is why you should be booking your 2026 getaway today:
The Ultimate Family Reunion
After a busy festive season, we often realize that “quality time” was spent rushing between houses. Our Family Friendly Properties are designed to be a home-from-home. From spacious kitchens perfect for a slow Sunday brunch to living areas made for board game marathons, we provide the space for you to actually connect.
No One Gets Left Behind (Not Even the Horse!)
We know that for many of our guests, a holiday isn’t complete without their pets.
- For the Dogs: Our Pet-Friendly Properties offer easy access to coastal paths and enclosed spaces where your pups can thrive.
- For the Horses: Truly unique to Breakwater Holidays is our “Horsey Holidays” initiative. We know the stress of finding a trusted sitter for your equine friends, so why not bring them along? Experience the beauty of the Devon and Cornwall countryside together, knowing they are settled right nearby.
Coastal Wellness
Forget the crowded gyms. This January, we’re advocating for “Blue Health”—the scientifically proven benefit of being near the water. From our newest coastal gems in Bude to our tucked-away seaside retreats, there is nothing quite like a crisp winter walk on a Cornish beach to clear the mind and set your intentions for the year ahead.
Bespoke Luxury & Interior Style
A holiday should feel like an upgrade. Many of our properties benefit from our professional Interior Design services, ensuring that every cushion, light fixture, and linens feel curated for comfort and style. If you’re looking for a pristine, allergy-free environment, we also offer a wide selection of Pet-Free Properties maintained to the highest standards.
