Cornwall is undeniably one of the most beautiful counties in the UK and is an immensely popular holiday destination. Its beautiful coastline is home to some of the most picturesque beaches in the country, and the county's rich heritage means there is no shortage of interesting places to visit.
Aside from its sheer natural beauty, Cornwall also boasts some of the best holiday cottages around where you can relax and unwind, surrounded by gorgeous, rolling countryside - and many have hot tubs on offer.
So, let's take a look at the 15 best luxury cottages in Cornwall with hot tubs from Slingo’s lifestyle news.

Goonhavern is a sleepy village with a shop and a local pub serving food. You're also a short drive from the famous Cornish coast with Newquay and Perranporth just minutes away.

2) Cedar Creek - Porthtowan
Cedar Creek is located just a short drive from Portreath and Porthtowan's beautiful, sandy beaches. If you're feeling adventurous, you can take a stroll down to the coastal paths or rent a bike from The Bike Barn and explore the nearby Coast to Coast cycle trail.
The cottage is close to the A30, so it's also easy to drive to attractions like St Michael's Mount and the Eden Project. The local village has many pubs and restaurants to enjoy if you don't fancy cooking.

Next on our list of the best holiday cottages in Cornwall with hot tubs is Lodge 78 offered by Sun Valley. Nestled between ancient horse chestnut trees, this tranquil retreat is part of an exclusive holiday park in a quiet valley just a mile from a gorgeous beach in South Cornwall.
The Sun Valley holiday park has impressive facilities with hot tubs, a heated swimming pool, two tennis courts and a games room.
