The Ramsays’ Cornwall journey began with Daymer Bay House, bought for £4 million in 2016. Sold in 2021 for £7.5 million—the county’s most expensive sale ever—it was a temporary home during renovations of their main property in Rock. This modern mansion, with two kitchens, four en-suite bathrooms, and a £102,000 infinity pool, overlooks the Camel Estuary. Gordon’s 2021 Instagram post of the pool, with Oscar splashing alongside, captured the joy of their coastal retreat. Tana’s Metro interview during the 2020 lockdown emphasized their focus on family: “We spent our time in our home with our family, and that was what was most important.”
Cornwall is where the Ramsays unwind. Gordon, often seen surfing or barbecuing on Daymer Bay, shares moments like teaching Oscar to swim or joking with Jack in matching red shorts. Tilly’s Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch featured Cornwall’s beaches, with the family cooking seafood feasts inspired by their adventures. Megan, Holly, and Jack, though less public, join in, with Holly’s 2024 engagement announcement to Adam Peaty sparking speculation of a Cornwall wedding. Jesse, born in 2023, made his beach debut in a 2024 Instagram post, cradled by Tana as Gordon grinned nearby.
The family’s connection to Cornwall goes beyond leisure. In 2020, Gordon and Tana became ambassadors for the Cornwall Air Ambulance, praising its “fantastic service” for locals. Gordon’s support for businesses like Taco Boys UK and Nice Baps in Wadebridge, hailed as offering “the best baps in the country,” boosted the community. A 2020 dinner at Paul Ainsworth’s The Mariners with the Beckhams showed their integration into Cornwall’s social fabric.
Despite occasional tensions—Gordon’s 2022 quip about “not standing the Cornish” drew ire—the family’s love for Cornwall shines. Their 2016 miscarriage strengthened their resolve to cherish time together, with Cornwall’s tranquility aiding their healing. Gordon’s softer side, seen in a 2023 post of Oscar and Jesse napping on a beach towel, contrasts his TV persona, endearing him to fans.
