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.

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.

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.

Before its conversion into a modern but rustic open-plan home, this luxury getaway was rumoured to have been used by English gentleman Sir Walter Raleigh to house his horses. 

Now minimalist and sleek, you're reminded of the place's history through touches like the exposed beams. Views of the rural surroundings vie for attention against the modern luxuries that leave no doubt that this home is contemporary in every way, though it still has charm to spare. Luxurious, modern and romantic, it’s the perfect bolthole for a couple looking for a special retreat in Cornwall. 

There are eleven beaches on this stretch of coast, so you can take your pick. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re a dedicated surfer or prefer to skim stones and keep your feet dry. Tolcarne Beach is a thirteen-minute drive, so when you’re ready to warm up after a day in the elements, you can nip back to the house easily. In the evening, stroll to the village pub – it’s two minutes away and your four-legged friend can accompany you. Sip local cider and plan the rest of your stay – will you set off on a boat trip from Newquay Harbour, or would you rather visit the zoo?

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. 

Woodland Estate

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.

Nestled in the quaint village of Polgooth, just a couple of miles from the golden beaches and picturesque harbours of the south coast of Cornwall lies this pretty little ground-floor apartment. You'll have your own garden and a conservatory where you can sit out and enjoy the sunshine. Buy some catch-of-the-day from the fresh fish van on Saturday mornings and try cooking something new for dinner in the well-equipped kitchen, or sit out on one of the deck chairs in the garden with a cup of tea. In the evening, sit around the fire pit under the starry sky and share drinks after a long day.

If you're looking for a charming village hideaway, you've come to the perfect place. You'll find a well-stocked village shop and a traditional, dog-friendly pub just a short walk from your doorstep, where you can grab any necessities you might need for your stay as well as enjoy a pint with the locals. You'll also find yourself perfectly placed to reach a whole host of popular Cornish attractions and areas, including Mevagissey, Cornwall's second-largest fishing port, where you can take advantage of a range of wonderful independent shops and cafes.

With a prime location right on Newquay's famous Tolcarne Beach, this bright, beautiful home is the ideal base for a family or group of friends looking for a seaside holiday in the UK. Your hosts have certainly made the perfect spot to relax in, with a light-filled living space benefitting from nautical decor and comfy, neutral furniture. But, while the house itself will soon have you feeling all warm and cosy inside, we suspect you'll be here for the beach, which is just a 300m stroll over the Tankerton slopes. From here – this charming, coastal village offers a tumble of cheery cafes, indie shops and gourmet restaurants to sink your teeth into. After exploring the beach, you’ll relish a soak in the spa-style tub, or for a magical end to the day, grab a glass of wine and head out to your private patio. Feel the calm ocean breeze wash right over you, as you dine alfresco or snuggle up in front of the fireplace for an evening in.

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.

By the Beach

It’s time to pack up the extended family, including your furry pals, and head to the beautiful shores of Portmellon.

With multiple living areas, a large and fully equipped kitchen and a sun-drenched terrace, Clear Skies offers plenty of space for everyone to spread out or come together for family fun.

Tucked away in Mevagissey, this quaint cottage oozes coastal charm. An effortless mix of old and new, you’re hit by bold, brilliant blue cabinetry that’s sleek and modern, sitting alongside exposed stonework and wooden beams as you step into the kitchen. We love the attention to detail with the decor, with the seaside vibe flowing throughout the home – our particular favourite is the seagull pattern you’ll find on cushions and lampshades, carrying you on a tour around the cottage. Spend quiet evenings curled up on the corner sofa to enjoy a movie night or get lost in a story with your holiday read – it’s the perfect way to relax after a busy day exploring the Cornish coast that surrounds you. 

Before heading out for the day, rustle up a tasty full English and settle down at the kitchen table to plan for the day ahead with your loved ones. Suitably nourished, stroll to the harbour and while away a few hours exploring the independent shops that line the waterfront. Further afield, you can reach The Lost Gardens of Heligan by car in fifteen minutes, or The Eden Project in around twenty. Never short of things to do, you’ll be grateful for your calming coastal retreat, just the place to return to after a fun-filled day.

Perched just above the quaint fishing village of Mevagissey and the sparkling English Channel, this Edwardian home treats guests to gorgeous views of the landscape through the large bay windows — not to mention from the tables on the terraces.

Don't be fooled into thinking that the address is nothing more than a vantage point, however. Despite the property's history, the design is contemporary in flavour, with pieces from local Cornish artists adorning some walls and boldly patterned wallpaper covering others. Those with musical talents will melt at the sight of the walnut Art Deco piano in the hallway, while the sleek kitchen is a thing of beauty as well, particularly with the spaceship-esque extractor fan and chic breakfast bar seating. 

If the weather's playing ball during your stay, you're more than welcome to cook up something on the barbecue, perhaps some seafood bought from the centre of Mevagissey just over five minutes' walk away. There are plenty of restaurants nearby too, as well as a museum and the South West Coast Path running past.

Tides of Time

Stepping inside this country home brings an immediate sense of warmth and comfort. It’s the kind of space that welcomes you to experience the inspiring beauty of Cornish living.

Outside, you’ll find a serene walled garden perfectly positioned to soak in the whimsical charm of this home. This is a wonderful spot to drink your morning coffee, read, gather for lunch or simply take a gentle stroll. 

And when the sea breeze inspires you to explore, the beautiful beaches of the south coast are less than a ten–minute drive away, whilst the rugged north coast of Cornwall is just twenty–five minutes away.

Return to your sleek, modern abode where comfort is the name of the game. Some may say “soulless”, but we say if the sofas are squishy, the kitchen is fully equipped (even with a wine fridge) and the beds are top-notch, what’s not to love?  

The Golden Gilded

From Great British summer holidays to cosy winter weekends, this large house set in the tiny Cornish village of Portmellon is an excellent jumping-off point for exploring the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Only fifty yards from the sea, the plot is perfect for dips in the ocean or trying out new activities such as paddle boarding. Those who prefer to stay on solid ground can sink some real ale pints in the nearby pub. Thanks to its five bedrooms and numerous communal areas, this home is great for large get-togethers. From barbecues on the patio to dinners in the open-plan kitchen-diner, it's perfect for socialising as a group, though should you need a bit of privacy, you can always retreat to the home's office. Venture further afield and visit postcard-cute Mevagissey, just a mile’s walk away. Meander around its craft shops and chomp on some fish and chips by the sea.

You’ll love waking up and stepping into the private garden – this is a lovely spot to feel the refreshing sea breeze as you drink your morning coffee. Inside, the space is sensitively designed to feel intimate and cosy – at night you can hear the calming sound of waves in the distance. 

And when you feel inspired to explore, it’s just a short stroll down to the beach and across the quay to the village. Here you’ll find a lovely pub, restaurant, cafe, deli and antique shop, while other highlights like the Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan are less than a twenty–minute drive away. 

Pearl in the Sea

"Enchanted Haven" is a large, beautifully renovated house situated in the heart of Mevagissey. Nestled in a quiet location, just 300 meters from the sea and 400 meters from the beach, this four-story property offers an excellent mix of convenience and tranquility. Step outside and find yourself immersed in a charming seaside village, with shops, cafes, pubs, and restaurants all within walking distance. Inside, the house boasts modern and tasteful furnishings spread across seven spacious rooms. With its open dining room and large kitchen that leads to the garden terrace, "Enchanted Haven" is perfect for gatherings with loved ones. The upper floors offer comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, providing both coziness and privacy. Whether you're exploring the nearby attractions like Lost Gardens of Heligan or simply enjoying a peaceful stroll along the South West Coast Path, this unique hideaway promises relaxation and serenity for your holiday retreat.

The Whimsical Retreat

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.

Feel the call of the sea and the delicious tingle of salt in the air from this beautiful eco-home in Newquay. Just a short walk from the sands and a ten-minute walk from Newquay town centre, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to things to see and do around you, not to mention the ample entertainment options on hand in your dazzlingly modern carbon zero pad. 
 
Stepping into the open-plan living area, you’ll immediately be wowed by the amount of natural light pouring in through the large glass doors that lead out onto a private patio.

Surf the Wave

Wheelchair Access

There are lots of things that impressed us about this cute cottage close to the North Cornish coastline. First off, there's a lot of room inside considering it's only for two people, with the modern corner kitchen particularly large — and well-equipped for that matter. This generosity with space will have contributed towards the M2 Accessibility Rating it received from Visit England, which marks the single-level property out as suitable for guests with reduced mobility and part-time wheelchair users. What's more, there's a private sandstone patio complete with alfresco seating and a hot tub from which to enjoy summer evening sunsets. If you prefer to watch this while sitting on the sand with the sound of the waves lapping nearby, Perranporth Beach is less than ten minutes' drive. Similarly, the towns of Truro and Newquay only take a quarter of an hour to reach by car.

Lord of the Isles

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.

Utterly enchanting were our thoughts when we first saw this beautifully renovated Grade II listed Charlestown home – this place is very special indeed. Relax in the lovely, secluded south-facing garden or in the glass-covered courtyard filled with scented jasmine and verdant tree ferns – it's the perfect spot for a glass of Cornish fizz in the evening while doing a bit of star gazing. 

We love the bedroom, which is open to the rafters, as well as its cast-iron freestanding bathtub. On stormy nights, you may even hear the sound of the waves – what a wonderful way to fall asleep.

The following day, help yourself to tea or coffee, and feast on scrumptious Cornish cinnamon buns, provided courtesy of your hosts Antonia and David. They can also deliver oven-ready meals for lunch or dinner. 

If you prefer to eat out, there are an array of tempting restaurants on your doorstep to choose from. Or pop to the deli and take a picnic down to Charlestown Beach, a one-minute stroll away. Other beaches to try in the area include the golden sands of Porthpean, a five-minute drive. For history lovers, the Charlestown Shipwreck and Heritage Centre is a one-minute saunter, or keen hikers can have a walk around Gribben Head, a fifteen-minute drive from this home.



The Enchanted Pearl

Situated in the charming fishing village of Mevagissey, just a short drive from Saint Austell this lovely holiday cottage is an ideal base for a family or a group of friends looking for a relaxing Cornish retreat. 

Close to idyllic beaches and breathtaking coastal walks, the home will welcome you with a warm embrace after each long day of exploring. Step inside to find yourself in the large open-plan living space with comfy sofas, armchairs and a wood-burning stove offering warmth on those chillier evenings. Rustle up delicious meals in the modern kitchen and share them with your loved ones at the dining table inside or better still out on the lovely patio, where you can also admire views of the valley and the sea beyond. 

A night of restful sleep will find you in the comfy bedrooms – wake up feeling rested and ready for more coastal adventures. Head over to Portmellon Beach or visit the iconic Mevagissey Model Railway workshop.

Offering spectacular views of Fistral Beach, Trevose Head, and out towards the Atlantic Ocean's endless blue, this home provides the perfect coastal escape. You'll find it perched on the Pentire Peninsula, just a seven-minute drive from Newquay's town centre, zoo and waterfront aquarium, and perfectly positioned to explore its string of sandy beaches.

After days spent surfing the Atlantic swell or lounging on the golden sands of Fistral Beach, a twelve-minute stroll from your doorstep, you'll love kicking back in this well-equipped pad. Inside, spacious rooms are stylishly furnished and blessed by heaps of natural light. We especially love the open-plan living area, primed for relaxation with a cosy lounge, fully-equipped kitchen and dining table. Here, the main event is the balcony. Step through the floor-to-ceiling French doors and onto the furnished deck for glorious coastal views and a hit of crisp sea breeze. Spend evenings out here, enjoying an alfresco feast as the sun dips below the horizon.

Sapphire Ripples

Tucked away on a quiet lane in Cubert, a small village on the North Coast of Cornwall, this cottage is just the place to recharge your batteries. Once a piggery and hay barn, many of the original features are still inside, from the vaulted timber beam ceilings to the exposed stonework. But old-world charm is not all that's on offer – with underfloor heating, rainfall showers and a sleek high-spec kitchen, creature comforts abound. Our favourite spot has to be the balcony, where you can enjoy a morning coffee or an evening sundowner whilst admiring the sweeping countryside views. The garden is the perfect spot to bask in the sunshine – sprawl out on the lounge chairs with a good book or fire up the grill and tuck into an alfresco meal in the fresh air. Best of all is the location. Stroll through the green orchards towards the village, home to a beloved 16th-century pub and a few coffee shops. When you're in the mood for a beach day, hop in the car and drive five minutes to Holywell Bay, a haven for exceptional surfing, sandy beaches and excellent restaurants.

Amid The Orchards

Boasting one of the most sought-after addresses in Newquay, this stunning five-bedroom family home enjoys a spectacular position on the Pentire Peninsula, looking out over the Gannel estuary and towards Crantock Beach.

The entire home is designed to make the most of the spectacular natural riches on your doorstep, with a private path leading down through the garden to the estuary, a sun-soaked slate terrace with loungers set around a plunge pool for sunny days, and a balcony equipped with a barbecue for long summer evenings outdoors. When you combine all this with the awe-inspiring views on offer, you've got a recipe for something truly special.

It's a similar story inside, where floor-to-ceiling panes of glass create light-filled spaces that have been tailored to your family's needs. On the ground floor, a vast multi-purpose living room encourages you to spend cooler evenings gathered together around the fire. Alternatively, make your way downstairs to sit back and relax on the vast U-shaped sofa and make your way through a movie marathon.

Finally, five well-appointed bedrooms offer relaxing refuges to lay your head at the end of the day. However, the main en-suite bedroom – which occupies the entirety of the top floor – is the undoubted stand-out option. With its own balcony and separate seating area, it offers unprecedented privacy away from the hubbub of the floors below.

A River to the Sea

There's a distinct boho edge to the interior design in this Newquay apartment, what with the hanging macrame, house plants and array of woven furnishings. Mixed with the natural light from the skylights and the stark white walls, it's inescapably relaxing. The neatly tiled bathrooms bring a touch of spa quality and the wooden dining table illuminated by the overhanging light fixture is ideal for gathering the group around for a hearty supper after a day out at the seaside — there's no shortage of beaches in the town, that's for sure. Tolcarne Beach is only two minutes' walk away and the larger Newquay Beach takes ten. An added benefit is that the apartment itself has storage options for surfboards and bicycles, which gives you alternative ways to explore the Cornish coastline.
