Easter Holiday Escapes

This Easter half term, escape to Cornwall’s tranquil south coast for a family holiday where everyone can play, explore and simply unwind.

Nestled the banks of the peaceful Helford River, Budock Vean Hotel & Spa is your welcoming base for memorable family breaks near Falmouth. Our family-friendly accommodation offers comfort and flexibility, whether you’re planning a short break or a longer holiday in Cornwall. Spacious family hotel rooms, many with sofa beds, give everyone space to relax after a busy day.

Activities for all ages

The fun starts right on the doorstep, with access to hotel leisure facilities included in your stay. Spend time in the Natural Health Spa: take a dip in the indoor swimming pool, enjoy the outdoor hot tub with views of the gardens, and warm up in the sauna. Outside, play a few rounds on our scenic parkland golf course, or challenge each other to a family game of tennis on the all-weather courts.

For a touch of adventure, head out on a kayaking tour departing directly from our private foreshore on the Helford River, or hop on a boat trip, spotting local wildlife and discovering the waterways from a whole new perspective.

Our two-night Stay & Explore Break* includes two water-based activities (kayaking and paddleboarding**), with breakfast and dinner included.

Budock in bloom

Easter is a beautiful time to explore Cornwall’s celebrated gardens. Take a walk through our very own subtropical gardens or pick up the South West Coast Path alongside the river to nearby Trebah Garden and Glendurgan Garden to find exotic species, winding paths and hidden corners perfect for curious explorers.

Check out our curated three-night Cornish Garden Break***, including breakfast each morning, and tickets  to local garden attractions.

Family days out

There’s lots to do in our lovely part of Cornwall. Budock Vean Hotel & Spa is close to Falmouth, a bustling coastal town offering plenty to keep families entertained. Enjoy interactive exhibits at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, stroll along sandy beaches, or simply enjoy ice creams on the harbour as the days grow warmer.

Further afield, head west to explore the Lizard Peninsula for dramatic coastal scenery or even further for a visit to the iconic Minack Theatre. Don’t miss Giants, a magical, family-friendly performance inspired by a Cornish legend, running 3rd-16th April 2026 at this awe-inspiring clifftop stage.
