Finding quality time with older children while managing little ones can feel impossible. At Bedruthan, we've created the perfect solution along Mawgan Porth's stunning coastline. While your younger children enjoy our Kids Club (ages 5+) or Play Creche (under 5s) with Enhanced DBS-checked staff, you're free to focus on your older ones. Think dedicated workshops, coastal adventures, and precious moments that make teenagers feel truly valued.
Our thoughtfully crafted experiences ensure every family member gets their moment to shine. Your older children receive undivided attention while little ones engage in memorable activities. This isn't just a family break – it's your chance to strengthen bonds with each child. At Bedruthan, every child deserves to feel special and every parent deserves meaningful time with them.
Workshops
Bond with your older children through our inspiring creative workshops in the Create Workshop, where Atlantic views meet artistic expression. Watch creativity flow as you discover what inspires your children and how they express themselves:
Seascapes
Dive into colour, texture and expression with our painting workshop. Perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike, this session welcomes all skill levels in a world of creative discovery.
Screen Printing
Master this hands-on art form in a welcoming space designed for both newcomers and seasoned creatives. Explore printing techniques while unleashing your artistic side together.
Ceramics
Sculpt, cut and shape clay by hand in this engaging class. Guided by experienced ceramicists, you'll create unique pieces like coiled pots, garden labels, animal figures and bowls without needing a potter's wheel.
Custom Tote Bags
Craft lasting memories of your Cornish holiday with this hands-on workshop. Perfect for families with children aged 4+, combining a creative outlet with practical keepsakes you'll treasure long after your stay.
Surf
Transform your family beach day into an epic adventure with surf lessons (7+) at KingSurf Surf School, just steps from your door. Picture the thrill of catching your first wave together, the laughter as you tumble into the foam and the pride when someone nails that perfect ride. KingSurf handles everything – gear, guidance and those priceless action shots of your family conquering the Cornish waves.
Connect with each other and harness the ocean's natural healing powers as your children discover their adventurous spirit and growing independence – creating treasured family memories that will last a lifetime.
Spa
Indulge in pure bliss with our family spa experiences that redefine relaxation. Start by diving into an energising session at our sensory spa garden (8+) where invigorating hot and cold plunges awaken your senses and flood your system with feel-good endorphins. For your 16+ teens, bespoke Ayurvedic treatments offer the ultimate self-care experience, tailored to how they feel in that moment. Allow health and wellness to bring your family closer while helping everyone discover their most radiant selves.
Activities
Discover your own private paradise as you wander through our stunning estate, where vibrant gardens overflow with herbs and vegetables that will inspire your senses. Pack gourmet treats from The Bakery and venture to our pristine beach, where crystal-clear waters beckon for splashing and sun-soaked moments. Explore dramatic rock formations, hidden caves and mini rock pools.
With your little ones blissfully entertained, it's time to elevate your adventure. Lace up those walking boots and conquer the breathtaking Cornish coastline – where every trail promises stunning views and heart-pumping excitement. After, take a refreshing dip in one of our outdoor pools, with incredible views of the ocean and the surrounding scenery.
When you're ready to unwind, retreat to our ocean-facing ballroom where competitive pool games and cozy board game sessions await. Whether you're strategising over a classic game on our plush sofas or enjoying the sea breeze on our terrace, every moment becomes a treasured memory filled with laughter and connection.
We hope you and your family enjoy quality time together in your home away from home that we have created at Bedruthan. Over the years, we've been privileged to host many wonderful guests who have shared special moments here. Our goal is to provide a comfortable, stress-free environment where you can focus on what matters most—spending time with your loved ones and making memories that will last a lifetime.
