I did the trip through Holyhead and didn't find to too bad (in one day).We're heading that way this summer. Driving with three kids under 6 in the back of the car
We've been to Padstow before, and this time are going to Newquay and St Ives. Our holiday requirements are proximity to sand, and proximity to bucket-and-spade shops - hence Newquay. We booked one holiday home through Cornish Gems, and the other we booked direct with the owner (via Google).
Some coastal towns are actually quite cliffy and not beachy, especially on the northern coast.
Many Cornish towns are very hilly, so you will need a buggy for a toddler, with a wrist-strap just to be sure. It can also be very windy (great for surfers, not so great for small children).
Getting there is not terribly easy, though. You could fly to Exeter out of Dublin, and hire a car with car-seat. Because we're bringing the kitchen sink, we're driving. Ferries out of Rosslare to Pembroke or Fishguard are not at a convenient time for us, so we are going out of Dublin Port to Holyhead on a high-speed, and it is 7-8 hours then (which we will do over two days).
