For a unique and unforgettable experience, stay in this operational lighthouse on the furthest point of Cornwall’s Roseland Peninsula. The sea views are second-to-none, whether that’s from the sunny patio or the detached observation room – complete with a fireplace for cosy storm watching. Seeing as this lighthouse is operational, expect to hear automatic fog signal on misty nights and see maintenance people from time to time. Other than that, the cottage is private with no public access. You’ll park in the National Trust car park – it’s a 300-metre steep path down to the cottage from there. Guests should also be aware that the home isn't suitable for children under 14, including babies. But there's a lot to love here. You even have easy access to a beautiful beach.

There’s also an adjoining annexe with a games room and a children’s play area – making this a great option for families. It’s also a wonderful location for exploring Cornwall with easy access to the nearest beaches, hiking trails and Falmouth – just a short ferry ride away.

Most tourists make a beeline for the Cornish coast – but little do they know that this beloved landscape is home to another beautiful feature, the Fal River. The surroundings here are slightly different, where green pasture gives way to mixed woodland and small pebbled riverside beaches. This characterful, quintessentially Cornish cottage dates back to the 1800s and provides perfect panoramic views over these stunning vistas, with three separate outside seating areas to choose from. Watch the sailboats float by as you lie on the garden bed, or have breakfast on the terrace while waving to a passing paddle-boarder – the river is never far away, and you can even view the shimmering water from your double bed. Trelissick is just a twenty-minute drive away, and Swanpool Beach is a sandy cove half an hour away, beside Swanpool Nature Reserve. After all that exploring, stop at the local inn three doors down for a pint before heading home to play a board game in front of the cosy log burner.

Located just a short walk from Mylor’s beautiful marina sits a cottage that is just as picturesque as its surroundings. Scallop Cottage can sleep eight guests and even welcomes up to two dogs, making it a fantastic choice for a friendly family or a bunch of friends keen on escaping on a coastal holiday. Enjoy sweeping views through the large picture windows in the living room, prepare delicious meals in the country kitchen, or bask in the sunshine of your private backyard as you take in the boats of the marina bobbing with the tide of the waves. Weather permitting, we encourage you to take your meals alfresco or make your way down to the marina for a wonderful meal out. There are also plenty of charming cafes and bars that are sure to keep you entertained for the duration of your stay.

Settle into this sunny three-bedroom house overlooking the Truro River in Malpas, Cornwall. Whether you're looking to relax, explore the beautiful scenery of the area, or just a change of scenery for working remotely, you'll have everything you need at this beautiful home. You'll have several choices when it comes to relaxing outdoors, with a sunny front patio, back garden and terrace, and private balcony just off the second bedroom to sit out on and enjoy the picturesque countryside views of the river below. Dine alfresco in the tiered garden, or set yourself up in the study to get some work done. For those hoping for a little more excitement in their days, you'll have kayaks at your disposal to get out on the river. Just remember to be aware of the tide times when you're out!

In the sleepy village of Malpas you'll find a fantastic local pub, as well as a farm shop and tea room all within easy walking distance. Lace up your walking boots and take advantage of some excellent country walks right from your doorstep, plus regular boat tours from the marina out to nearby locations, including the bustling nearby town of Falmouth, the Trelissick Gardens or the beautiful port of St. Mawes. There's even a ferry nearby that can take you and your car over the river to the Roseland Peninsula. When you get home, spend a cosy evening warming up on the sofa in front of the log burner as the sun sets.

Some homes are designed around a view and this is one of them. Perched close to the Cornish coastline, it's possible to gaze out at peaceful vistas of Swanpool lagoon or Falmouth Bay, depending on which of the floor-to-ceiling windows you're standing next to at any given moment. The best spot at the address, however, has to be the covered balcony, from which you can enjoy the coastal panorama with a sea breeze on your skin.

One added benefit of all this glass is the copious amount of natural light that it lets into the home and this asset is emphasised by the preference for stark white in the walls and the kitchen's sleek surfaces. The home's design is definitely shaped by contemporary minimalism, which will really sing to those who have no time for nautical kitsch found in plenty of local properties.

As a glimpse out the windows will tell you, the sea isn't all too far away – in fact, you can be standing on the sands of Swanpool beach in under five minutes' walk. This seaside spot sits on the South West Coast Path, so you can ramble on in either direction if you so wish. The town of Falmouth will take you half an hour to reach on foot, too.

Designed to celebrate and honour Cornwall’s rich mining heritage, this stylish apartment sets a striking note with its copper palette, mining prints and subtle antique touches alongside its contemporary decor. Housed in a Grade II listed townhouse dating back to1809, history may be in its bones but its aesthetic is nothing but 21st-century chic.
 
The sociable open-plan living area is bathed in light thanks to the large sliding glass doors that lead out onto a private patio garden. This is the ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee on the bench while soaking up some rays and the table and chairs here invite alfresco meals aplenty – you’re even free to help yourself to the herb garden to liven up your homecooked feasts. 
 
Tucked away at the back of the apartment, you’ll find the copper-accented bedroom. You’ll have no trouble slipping into sweet dreams in this quiet spot, leaving you rested and ready for an exciting day of sightseeing upon waking up. 

Speaking of exploring, you’re right in the centre of Truro with countless shops and restaurants on your doorstep, as well as some of the city’s most famous sights, including Truro Cathedral (a three-minute walk), the Royal Cornwall Museum (a five-minute walk) and Victoria Gardens (an eight-minute walk). Elsewhere, you’re just a twenty-minute drive from both sandy Perranporth Beach – the only UK beach to have a pub on it – and St Agnes, where you’ll find surf schools, local ale pubs and myriad independent boutiques.

Tucked away in the peaceful wooded valley of Porthluney, this luxurious manor (which featured as one of GQ Magazine's "best holiday cottages in Cornwall for a relaxing summer break") welcomes up to sixteen guests to spend a few glorious days surrounded by beautiful countryside and romantic landscapes. Perfectly complementing its surroundings, Woodland Estate is a Georgian manor boasting plenty of grandeur, original character as well as the necessary home luxuries required to relax and unwind in style. An idyllic place for a wedding, this estate is also licensed for civil ceremonies and receptions for up to 150 people can be held in a marquee on the lawn. So whether you’re looking for a place to celebrate or spend a few relaxing days with your loved ones, Woodland Estate is fully equipped to offer an excellent base from which to explore The Roseland Heritage Coast (a twenty-minute drive away), you’re less than a ten-minute stroll away from the coastal path, two beautiful beaches and a fifteen-minute walk from Caerhays Castle.

If you like the idea of going eco-friendly for a while but don't want to completely give up on comforts, this cosy barn powered by renewable energy could just be a happy compromise. 

The renovated cob and stone property sits within six acres of idyllic riverside woodland and is built out of natural materials, including oak, lime, cob, pigmented clay plaster and locally sourced slate. Inside, there are a few rustic features, such as the exposed stonework and wood-burning fireplace, but otherwise, it's undeniably contemporary thanks to the conservatory, sleek kitchen and pristine bathrooms. The fact that it's powered by a wind turbine and a heat pump is pretty impressive, too.

Given the peace and tranquillity of the surrounding grounds, you'll be happy to hear that there's a natural swimming pool close to the home — shared only with the host, who lives on the site, and one other barn — as well as a barbecue and some spots for an alfresco feast. 

Although it feels like you're in splendid isolation at this address, you can head back to civilisation pretty swiftly if you wish. The town of Truro takes a quarter of an hour to reach in the car, while Perranporth Beach on the north and south Cornish coastlines can be reached in just under twenty-five.

Fresh from an appearance in June 2021's issue of 25 Beautiful Homes magazine, this coastal Cornish home is more than ready to be the setting for a memorable holiday. Attention to detail can be seen in every corner of this home, with only natural products used for cleaning, and even the bed linens are made from 100% natural materials. The nautical-themed interior design is inescapably cosy, especially in the living room with the log-burning fireplace and a big bay window that looks out over Percuil River. If you want to see this gorgeous view a little closer, simply step outside onto the home's private terraces, which feature a swimming pool, loungers and a table for alfresco suppers - plus a private riverside beach. There's a ping-pong table and trampoline to keep youngsters entertained, but there's also an impressive four-monitor WFH set-up in case there are emails that can't wait. However, be sure to finish up as soon as possible, because there's so much to see and do in the local area, too. By request you can have someone take you out on the hosts' boat, moored at the home. Summers Beach is only four minutes' walk away, although there are plenty of other coastal destinations easily reachable in the car. The harbour town of St Mawes takes a few minutes to reach on foot and has delicatessens, restaurants and a castle waiting to be explored.

Awash with character, this beautiful white-washed cottage will wrap you up in its charm so much that you may never want to leave. Delicate neutral furnishings populate the rooms, designed to complement the home and not take attention away from the beauty of the building itself. If you’ve ever pictured a tranquil retreat in a chocolate box cottage, surrounded by countryside and with the coast on your doorstep, this home can bring that dream to life. 

Walk through the front door and your eyes will instantly be drawn to the exposed beams and classic inglenook fireplace. Imagine winter escapes here – after a day out exploring this stretch of the Lizard Peninsula, you can return home and warm up in front of the glow of the wood burner. We love the window seats in the living area, too. Just the spot to sit with a book and a cuppa, and lose yourself in another world for a while.

The sunny walled garden will tempt you outside in warmer months. In this quiet corner of the village, you’ll be able to dine alfresco with loved ones, with the only noticeable sound being the gentle sizzle of the barbecue. Kick back, relax, and pour yourself a glass of wine as the peaceful setting washes a sense of calm and pure relaxation over you. 

Classic, characterful and utterly charming – this is a home where memories are made, and you’ll want to return again and again.

Renovated with style, comfort, and an understated elegance in mind, this charming 19th century cottage in Cornwall isn’t just beautiful to look at, it also has some pretty spectacular views of the countryside to admire as you enjoy a cup of coffee on the sunny bench out front. 

For breakfast, you’ll find a new, striking kitchen with enough space to allow for everyone to come together and help. Once prepared, enjoy your Full English under the statement pendants currently swinging right above the dining table, or take it outside to eat alfresco around the little bistro table out front. 

Beach days lie only a ten-minute walk away, so pack your sunscreen and head off to Loe Beach for a day filled with sun, sandcastles, more Cornish ice cream than you can handle, and a quick dip in the ocean. Stop off at the cafe to enjoy fresh cake or cream tea before heading home, sundrenched and contented. 

Ferry off from just beyond Trelissick to get to the Roseland Peninsula where you will stumble upon hidden beaches and waterfront eateries. Closer to home, you can walk into the heart of the village in minutes to enjoy a meal or explore the scenic coastal paths. 

Return to a sofa that was practically made for curling up with a glass of wine and a good novel, but can just as easily accommodate the whole family for a movie night. Anyone looking to catch up on work, can do so at the dedicated desk up stairs, but something about this home might make you want to do as little as possible so you can instead kindle the fire, put your feet up, and relax and recharge.

Rejuvenate with blue sea views at this modern house perched above sleepy St Mawes - one of the most sought-after Cornish fishing villages. Step out alongside the iconic pastel cottages bustling with cafes and boutiques (five minutes on foot), and you'll quickly discover why St Mawes has ranked the UK's best coastal destination. Grab a crab baguette, hop on the ferry to Falmouth (dolphin-spotting on the way), or go mackerel fishing on the Madeline Rose. And no stay here would be complete without a visit to Henry VIII's St Mawes castle (thirteen minutes on foot). In the evening, the town is buzzing with energy, so sneak away for a cocktail, or hearty pub grub and a pint, if that's more your style. Back at home, your host has thought of every detail to make for a luxurious stay. Expect boutique hotel standards in the light-filled bedrooms - we're talking 100% Egyptian Cotton and mattresses fit for a queen (Hypnos beds hold the Royal Warrant, don't you know). While over in the living space, board games and a games console will keep kids entertained on drizzly days. But it's the bespoke concierge service that impresses us the most, with everything from a private chef or a picnic hamper, to babysitting or massage bookings - you need only ask.

Occupying an enviable position overlooking the Cornish coast, this elegant home has views to die for. Our preferred way to enjoy the vista is with a cup of tea in the garden as you watch the sailboats floating by below. The house is situated on a private footpath that leads you to the sea in a couple of minutes. If you're in the mood for an adventure, there are plenty of watersports options and boat rental that your helpful hosts can help you arrange. The village amenities of St Mawes harbour are within a few minutes on foot should you need to stock up on essentials. However, if you can tear yourself away from that view, you're just a twenty-minute ferry crossing from the vibrant university town of Falmouth. For a different atmosphere, you're a short drive from picturesque fishing villages like Portscatho and Portloe. After a day on the water or exploring the local area, return to a catered candlelit dinner looking out over the sea (available at an additional cost) before cosying up around the log-burning stove and curling up with a book and a glass of wine.

Brimming with original artwork and oozing charm, this coastal cottage is a real knock-out. We love every inch, from the inviting living space to the sumptuous bedroom. It's snug, but that's what makes it so cosy, and for a small space, it sure is packed with personal touches. Egyptian cotton sheets, electric fireplace, fluffy bathrobes, beach essentials, a welcome basket overflowing with breakfast items – your host has all the little details taken care of. As much as we adore the lovely kitchen, our favourite spot has to be the rustic courtyard. Dotted with olive trees and surrounded by leafy potted plants, it's the perfect place for morning coffees, alfresco dinners and evening tipples as the sun goes down. As far as locations go, this home is close to everything – it's only a ten-minute walk to Gyllyngvase Beach and five minutes to the restaurants, shops and pubs along the waterfront. While there's private parking on-site, you won't need the car for much. Don your comfiest shoes and set off on foot instead, exploring Falmouth's coastal walks, art galleries and cafes with ease.

The Sea In Bloom

Nature lovers, wild swimmers and adventurers will find perfect ease in this Cornish hideaway. You’ll be welcomed by stunning sea views, a large terrace and a hot tub. Inside, the rooms are just as enticing with locally sourced art, a wood burning fire and plenty of home comforts to ensure optimum relaxation. Your host provides a starter supply of logs and a welcome hamper. Plus, you’ll be perfectly placed for walks along the South-West Coastal Path and there are plenty of opportunities for water sports in St Anthony.  

Sea of Dreaming

Set in a large, secluded garden between St Mawes castle and the village harbour, Penolva comes from the Cornish word meaning ‘lookout on the headland’. It’s one of very few homes in the village with a private waterfront, and because of that, it has some of the best views around. It was built in the sixties by a friend of the Queen Mother, Dick Wilkins, and it’s reported that the Royal family used to visit Wilkins at the home while on excursions from HMY Brittania. That’s pretty good pedigree. The home has been done up recently, and now showcases a great selection of British art. The views, however, are framed by the windows in such a way that they might as well be the paintings. On top of that, host Amanda goes the extra mile to ensure that your stay is special. She’s thought of every possibility, from providing board games to keep you entertained on rainy days, to running a bespoke concierge service. Everything from a private chef or a picnic hamper, to baby-sitting, to a full massage can be arranged.


Penolva

In the centre of charming Truro, this apartment feels like a cosy ode to wool. Plush knitted throws adorn the sofa in the open-plan living room, and the bed is lined with fluffy sheepskin. Herringbone floor completes a classic look, and we love the seat in the big Georgian window (furnished with a sheepskin throw, of course) overlooking the street for a spot of people-watching. The kitchen has everything you need to cook full meals at home – perhaps courtesy of the fresh fish landed every day in the nearby harbour towns. And, if you want to dine outside, there’s a shared courtyard dappled with fairylights for the occasion.

Location-wise, you’re in the heart of town and can reach all of Truro easily on foot. Quaint cafés serving scones (jam first, of course) and cream teas, fresh seafood restaurants and plenty of shops await. Getting out to explore the area, you’ll find the Roseland Heritage Coast AONB a ten-minute drive for clifftop coastal walks, and the buzzing beach of Falmouth is a twenty-minute drive. 

Ode To Wool

On the picturesque banks of the Helford estuary, this traditional cottage opens its doors to the timeless charm of riverside living. 

Inside, you’ll find a cosy sanctuary perfectly designed for a rural retreat. The living and dining room boasts an inglenook fireplace – this is a lovely spot to curl up on the sofa with a book or gather around the table for a candlelit meal. Head upstairs and you’ll find the landing opens up onto a small patio. From here you can enjoy quintessential countryside scenes whilst relaxing in one of the garden chairs. And when the weather is cool and crisp, you’ll love the feeling of walking back into this snug home for a long soak in the bath and a restorative night’s sleep. 

Days can be spent exploring the ancient oak forests, sheltered valleys and hidden creeks along the river. And whether you’re hiking, cycling or simply admiring the scenery, this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) will capture your heart and imagination with its array of wonderful villages and character-filled pubs. There’s also easy access to Lizard Point – a must-visit spot on your adventures across Cornwall's southern tip. 

River Journey

The Helford River is Cornwall’s best-kept secret. The stunning scenery even inspired the author Daphne du Maurier to write her novel Frenchman’s Creek. There’s plenty to be explored in this area, from the tropical gardens of Trebah to the creeks and ocean; we’d recommend making the adventure by boat and luckily this cottage comes with its own all-tide mooring. This charming stone cottage offers delightful views of the river, quietly tucked away in a lush paradise but still close to the excellent Shipwrights Arms and ferry point. Inside the interior design blends seaside chic with rustic, farmhouse vibes. We love the ship paintings, sea-blue tones and wood finishings. This charming cottage still retains a lot of its original features, boasting a characterful stone hearth and wood-burning stove. The open-plan kitchen and living room feel particularly snug. Warm yourself beside the fire, play a card game or watch a movie.

Frenchman's Creek

This beautiful Grade II-listed Georgian Manor House in the heart of Cornwall is perfect for large gatherings and celebrations. Tucked away among thirty acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, there are plenty of woodland paths, ponds and rolling hills for adults and children alike to enjoy. Gyllyngvase Beach takes less than twenty minutes to reach in the car as well. Alternatively, you could use the large lawn at the front of the home for a friendly game of croquet or cricket. Inside, you’ll be blown away by the high ceilings, snug drawing rooms and period-inspired furnishings that will bring a touch of elegance to your holiday. However, there are so many ways to let loose here. The conservatory, for example, has a billiards table, disco ball and sound system, and there's also table tennis that can be set up in the rear hall or courtyard. On sunny days, the patio with its barbecue and alfresco dining area will naturally be the place to be, but there's also the option to slip away from the crowds for a dip in the outdoor hot tub, complete with candles and LED lighting.

This old fisherman's cottage is set in one of Cornwall's quieter villages, Gorran Haven, and is a little slice of tranquillity for families and friends. Less than five minutes from the beach, the home has views over the sea, including from the south-facing patio, which is perfect for unwinding with a glass of wine at sunset. There's an electric AGA in the country-style kitchen for preparing family feasts, while the cosy lounge has a rustic log-burner if you need to warm up after a dip in the ocean. Kids will love the snug upstairs, with their very own TV and sofa. The village centre is a short stroll away, as are two beaches – Little Perhaver beach avoids some of the crowds found on neighbouring Great Perhaver and is a two-minute walk from your front door. The South West Coast Path also runs close by this spot and can be followed along clifftops until you reach the charming village of Portmellon.

This cosy bungalow on Cornwall's northern coast is the perfect base for exploring as much or as little of this remarkable region as you please. Beautiful beaches, dramatic cliffs and stunning sunsets all await you in this charming county. Idyllic locations such as Padstow and St Ives can be reached in less than an hour, and the famed Eden Project is just a forty-five minute drive away.
 
On the other hand, Holywell Bay has one of the most beautiful beaches in the county. You’ll be pleased to know it's only a five-minute walk from your door, where alongside stunning scenery, you’ll find a gorgeous coastal path, and a handful of charming beachside cafes and eateries. Refuel on local produce at the Gull Rocks Bar & Coffee House at the beach’s entrance after an afternoon spent splashing about, and take in the stunning vistas afforded by its prime location. The Treguth Inn, hailing back to the thirteenth century also awaits just five minutes away, while several more traditional pubs and desirable restaurants can be found within a fifteen-minute drive. The choice is all yours. 

A short twenty-minute drive away is the Gannel Estuary, which separates neighbouring Crantock village from Newquay. Have a go at canoeing in the estuary, or try your hand at paddle-boarding over in Crantock. On quieter days, why not go for fish and chips followed by some ice cream in idyllic fishing villages such as Mevagissey, Mousehole or Gorran Haven, all within an hour's drive? Whatever you choose to do, you won't be short of fun.
  
Of course, such is the high-quality amenities, you don't even need to leave the house. An open living area is blessed with natural light and plenty of space, perfect for social evenings. Chill on the sofas, sit with a glass of beer on the kitchen bar or take to the circular table for dinner. On cooler nights, gather around the log burner, or venture out to the garden for a spot of stargazing by the outdoor heater.
 
On warm summer evenings, get comfy on the cushioned sofas as you watch the sunset, or take in views of Penhale, a protected area for wildlife and ecology. When the sun sets, turn on the outdoor lights, and for true indulgence, treat yourselves to a dip in the hot tub.

Just a few miles away from the city of Truro, this quaint, stone–cladded cottage is tucked away within thirteen acres of glorious garden and woodland. So, if you’re looking for a private paradise that’s well connected with civilisation, this place hits the nail on the head. 

With its wooden beamed frontage and luscious shrubbery, you’ll instantly fall in love with its countrified good looks – and as you step inside beyond the blue front door, a welcoming snug awaits.

The open–plan kitchen–diner is definitely the heart of the home. Leading directly onto the living room, there’s no better space for a spot of socialising with family and friends – and with access to the garden from the patio doors, you won’t need to travel far to soak up the rays. 

We love the way the tall windows allow natural light to flood from room to room, making things bright and breezy. The statuesque, beamed ceilings sit high on our list of ‘loves’, too.

Just over a mile from the village of Stithians, down by the River Kennall, this stone cottage is set in the 7-acre land surrounding an old farmhouse. But despite its incredibly rural setting, staying here is far from the rustic experience you might expect. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Upon arrival, your host will warmly welcome you with a hamper full of luxury Cornish fare and home-baked goods to start your holiday right. While you nibble and sip, you can start exploring the cosy home. Fluffy rugs, plush sofas, and wooden floors create a sense of warmth and softness in the living space, but floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outside in. And the great outdoors are particularly great in this case. Under the wooden decking, get ready to pop champagne and soak in the hot tub. Or perhaps you’d rather recline on the outdoor sofas by the wood-burner, have a barbecue, or play a few rounds of table tennis? As you’re just a fifteen-minute drive to Gyllyngvase Beach in Falmouth, you’ll also need to pack a picnic one day and head for the shore (don’t forget to grab the beach towels that your host kindly provides).

We loved this home’s wooden deck – with stunning sea views, a dining table, barbecue, two loungers and Adirondacks facing the ocean, it’s fully equipped for time well-spent outside. Factor in that you’re less than a ten-minute walk from the beach and you have a real winner. Meander down the South West Coast Path to laidback Sennen Cove with its stretch of golden sand and tropical-blue water. Here Cornish fishermen brush shoulders with tousle-haired surfers. We recommend renting a board and catching a wave – there are two highly-rated surf schools in the area. When you return home, hit the outdoor shower and set your wetsuits to dry in the warm utility room before heading inside, where you’ll find it’s just as lovely as its surroundings – smart and minimal with touches of nautical chic. We especially love the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living area. Kick back on the sofas and play a board game or puzzle all together. Then gather around the light wood table for a feast before retiring to the bedrooms for some restful sleep, knowing there’s another beautiful seaside morning waiting for you when you awake. 

Surf Style

Located in the picturesque village of Harrowbarrow, with sweeping views of the Cornish countryside and Tamar Valley, this Grade II-listed building is sure to impress. Inside, it’s thoroughly up to date with a sleek white and grey colour scheme. The double-height ceilings and clever use of glass make the place feel extra spacious and bright, while a wood-burning stove adds a sense of cosiness. When the weather is on your side, spill out onto the south facing patio for sunshine all day long. After a tasty barbecue lunch, ramble through Kit Hill Country Park or take the thirty-five-minute drive down to Tregantle Beach for wind-whipped walks along the unspoilt sands. Come home in the late afternoon, salty-haired and ravenous, and dig into hearty fare at the traditional pub, just a fifteen-minute stroll from your doorstep. 

The Chaplain

If you love the thought of drifting to sleep while gazing up at the stars, this dreamy cabin could be the holiday home for you. The cabin is tucked away in a lush garden in a romantic setting that will make you instantly forget any of the worries of day-to-day life. It’s a studio-style cabin with one wall entirely made of glass, blending the interior and exterior. A skylight above the bed means you’ll go to sleep each night staring straight up at the stars. 

The cabin is based just outside of Launceston in Cornwall, close to the border of Devon. It’s brilliantly located for outdoorsy adventures, whether you’re keen on surfing or prefer to explore the countryside on foot. Dartmoor National Park is twenty-seven minutes away by car, with its wealth of wonderful hikes and cycling trails. You might take a day-trip to St Isaac to paddle in the sea and eat fish and chips and ice cream at the shore – it takes forty-three minutes to drive there, and it’s well worth the trip. 

After a day of exploring Cornwall and its gems, you can look forward to sipping wine on the terrace. Perhaps you’ll cook dinner on the barbecue before enjoying a relaxing bubble bath in the beautiful copper tub. Or to take the romance to the next level, you might soak in the hot tub under the stars. It’s impossible to leave here feeling stressed out.
