It's for me the Mrs and our 6 Month old daughter, near a beach would be nice and in a 'quiet' area.

I'd say south coast is better than north coast, but that's because I grew up there. Stayed in a place near St Mawes couple of years ago. Very nice. Charlestown is a nice harbour. Mevagissey is more touristy. Carlyon Bay has a great beach.

Loads of choice basically. But avoid the big towns like Newquay, Truro, St Ives, Penzance. Too many emmets.

Me and missus Rup went to a self catering cottage just outside Padstow which was v nice...got from a site called english country cottages (see google). Lovely spot, plus the Rick Stein restaurants. Avoid the RS fish and chip shop if you want to avoid food poisoning though. 5 hr drive back to london was not fun after that.

A bloke I worked with used to book the YHA family rooms and take quite a big family. Bargains compared to hotels and in good locations but you needed to book 12 months in advance to get the school hols slots.

Polperro http://www.polperro.org/ is lovely, and just up the road is somewhere just as nice a bit bigger though...leu. I have a 3 and 5 year and we go every year. Lots to do sea/sand/walks/pubs/restuarants/monkey world etc.

Avoid Newquay unless you are on a stagnight

Most of Cornwall is Chav infested. Avoid Newquay.
