With its ridiculously pretty beaches, swim-friendly waters and family-friendly attractions, it's no surprise that Cornwall has long been a firm favourite with holidaymakers come summer time.
With ongoing travel restrictions during the pandemic, most Brits are opting for summer staycations - and Cornwall has been named their top destination of choice.

To give you a helping hand we've searched out some of the top deals to be found - and we've also flagged where else you can find more bargains (especially if you can be a little flexible with your dates).
