Let’s not beat around the gorse bush, Cornwall, like the rest of England, really isn’t cheap any more, especially if you’re dead set on visiting during the peak months from June to August. In fact, you’ll be very hard pushed to find a hotel room for less than £150 a night during high season, and even B&Bs (and many camping and glamping sites) have a nasty habit of hiking their rates up substantially to take advantage of the summer traffic.
The real key to cutting costs is to visit at quieter times of year. There are often good deals to be had in the shoulder months, especially around April, September and October, when weather in Cornwall can still be surprisingly pleasant – and you’re more likely to avoid the crowds.
