Parents looking for the perfect February Half Term getaway location to keep the whole family happy – even when travelling with tinies, tweenies or teenagers – need look no further than Mesmear (www.Mesmear.co.uk ) on Cornwall’s North coast.  This trio of luxury, eco-friendly 18th century converted barns now offers self-catering accommodation priced from £28.50* per person, per night.  It has recently been voted into its Top 10 ‘Chic Retreats’ and ‘Best for Foodies’ by Baby-friendly Boltholes.

Staying in one of the 18th century barns on the 164-acre, privately-owned Mesmear farm is like having your own family-friendly boutique hotel – complete with baby lambs frolicking in the surrounding fields.  They feature contemporary furnishings, indulgent bathrooms, Egyptian cotton bed linen, wood-burning stoves, furnishings by The Designers’ Guild and original artworks by local artisans. There is also a separate games barn featuring table tennis, air hockey and table football to keep teenagers entertained.

Activities and soft adventure on your doorstep at Mesmear over half term include surfing (for the hardy) or why not take an Orca Sea Safaris – www.kingharryscornwall.co.uk trip from Falmouth in a high speed Rib to learn about the sea and bird life – whales, dolphins, basking shark and the varied bird life.  You can ‘dive into the world of shipwrecks, submarines, free diving and underwater warfare’ at the National Maritime Museum www.nmmc.co.uk or ‘landlubbers’ can cycle the Camel Trail.  The Eden Project www.edenproject.com offers ice skating, storytelling and ‘Shaun the Sheep’ workshops where you can ‘get creative with Aardman’s claymation workshops and displays’.  Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen Cornwall (with child-friendly menus) is close by at Watergate Bay.
