We will be traveling in England for 2 weeks and wanted to know what if any Laundromats are available in Cornwall or southern England? Didn't want to pack too much and thought that half way thru I could just do a quick load of wash.

There are laundromats there, do a google search of places you will be in or towns/villages close by.

It's unusual, though not unknown, for a laundrette to also sell washing powder or liquid so you might end up lugging a load around with you.

If you are staying in a B&B or other smaller owner operated lodging you can ask to do a small load for a gratuity. I often just hang everything up overnight to air out if not soiled. Microfiber things will dry overnight if hung on line. If you are near a town there will be laundromats. Some campgrounds even have laundromats.

Or do what Brits would do and bring enough clothes for 2 weeks! You are on holiday - life's too short to be washing on holiday!
There are far fewer launderettes than 20 years ago, due to a lack of demand. Even most students have a washing machine at home!
If you stayed in an apartment part way through, take one with a washing machine.

Interestingly a launderette just opened up just round the corner from my parents' house - catering mainly for service washes for those who don't have the time to do their own, rather than not have a machine, although there are still a few doing their own in the evening.
