You could sneak in through the back at this apartment in a Regency manor, but that would take away from the grand entrance worthy of a Jane Austen heroine. Sashaying through the double doors and across the marble floor, past the stone fireplace, you come to your abode. It’s in the old ballroom of the manor, and the floor-to-ceiling bays windows and gilded mirrors haven’t changed since the days of swishing gowns and music from the pianoforte (indeed, there’s still a grand piano in here). 

Rather than a bandstand, there’s now a kitchen at the head of the ballroom, and if you prefer your evenings slightly more intimate, a book-lined snug with a plush velvet sofa awaits in the bedroom. We love the hand-carved antique bed, waiting to see you off to the land of nod.

There are acres of grounds to explore on the estate, but if you want to get out and see the Cornish coast, it’s just a ten-minute drive to the beaches of St Ives Bay. The gallery-filled old fishing town of St Ives itself is just twenty minutes by car.

Welcome Hamper

Carbon Monoxide Detector

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).

The Hyde is special. Every inch of the home, right from the shell to the interiors, is masterfully crafted by hand. Tucked away in a dense wood, far from the world, it's a perfect retreat for a couple or a solo traveller. From the cosy Bohemian interiors to luxurious appliances (think Heston Blumenthal BBQ and Bose sound system), there's plenty to love. Step outside after a breakfast on the deck and you can spend a day swinging on the hammocks or lounging on the recliners amid birds. Revel each day in coastal walks across Porthtowan Beach until you reach the cliffs. Cycle around villages and all across this UNESCO World Heritage Site. If you're a surfer, the hosts own their own Surf shop and will be happy to help. You will be welcomed with a Cornish tea of home-made scones, clotted cream and jam. And, if in season, you may get a package of home-grown seasonal organic vegetables as a gift.

Hyde & Seek

Games Room

Safety Gates

Believed to have been constructed for the Captain of the Mines, this house in the heart of St Agnes is a rarity. With a thriving arts and crafts scene on your doorstep and Trevaunance Cove an eighteen-minute walk away, there’s plenty to do here. Suitable for all the family, inside the home, you’ll find a games room and cinema on the lower ground floor. While outside, the garden catches the evening sun and features two terraces for alfresco refreshments. 

The Captain's Retreat

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.

Set in a secluded spot within twenty acres, this upside-down home makes the most of the countryside vistas and will have you itching to get out to explore. While a car is necessary for travelling further afield, there are walks from your doorstep here or you can take a ride on the Helston Railway to soak up the scenery – it’ll stop at the bottom of the garden for you. After a day spent exploring the coastline, return home and pop the complimentary homemade fish pie in the Aga for the perfect dinnertime treat.

A Book of Love

The impeccable styling makes the interiors of this home as fresh as the wafting Porthtowan sea breeze. Set in a lodge, it is particularly relaxing and convenient for families with children and couples alike. With unassuming reading nooks and peppy quotes dotted throughout the space, this home on the hill is a quiet haven for those in need of a meditative pause. Despite the fair bit of footfall in the locality, the minimalist and uncluttered home captures the very essence of a quiet life by the beach.

Rooftop Terrace

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. 

Fal River Cottage

As environmentally sympathetic as it is stylish, this quiet hideaway close to the North Cornish coast is a perfect blend of pared-back simplicity and modern comfort. A picture of immaculate design, it's a cabin-style home made from natural materials (timber framing and bee-friendly bricks) that give way to an interior decorated in neutral shades of cream, light wood and olive green. Minimalist furnishings, sleek flooring and a bright white kitchen with high spec appliances ensure there's no roughing it here.

You’ll breeze between outdoor and indoor living with sliding glass doors that lead out to a private hot tub, well-kept garden, and patio area. Start your day with breakfast in the fresh sea air, before strolling down to the idyllic Gwithian Beach, discovering the spectacular sand dune formations and wild Nature Reserve backed onto the shore. Just a seventeen-minute drive from St Ives and nine to the National Trust's Godrevy Beach, there's plenty to do and see nearby, with a peaceful location just a five-minte drive from the town of Hayle.

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. 


Cornish Copper

Exercise Equipment

Set on twenty-six acres of rolling farmland and blessed with soaring vaulted ceilings, a sociable open layout and plenty of natural light – there's a lot to love about this gorgeous Cornish cottage. 

Underfloor heating, a wood burner and a sumptuous corner sofa create a cosy atmosphere during the cooler months. Meanwhile, an enclosed garden, outdoor hot tub and a west-facing deck make for a spectacular spot to sip on sundowners as golden hour approaches on those seemingly endless summer days.

Settle in around a fire pit in the communal courtyard and sink some beers with new friends. And on those occasions when the weather isn't playing ball, your hosts are more than happy to set up a screening room in their event space – blankets and popcorn provided.

A mile down the road is the village of Stithians. Here, you'll find a popular pub serving modern takes on British classics, a couple of well-stocked corner shops and even an artisan bakery (who'll deliver to your door if you like). But, of course, there's no need to stop by a supermarket with all this on your doorstep, though you'll find a few options 4.5 miles away in Redruth.

Stithians reservoir is sure to appeal to watersports enthusiasts, with sailing, windsurfing and paddleboarding on offer, while the Mineral Tramways cycle path is also worth exploring.

The cottage's location in the west of the county makes it impossible to stray far from either the north or south coast. Seasoned surfers and weekend warriors will appreciate the proximity to plenty of excellent surf spots, including Porthtowan, Gwithian, and Porthleven, all within half an hour's drive.

The Cornish Barn

Scandinavian cabin chic in the heart of the Cornish countryside, this gorgeous three-bedroom cottage is unrecognisable from its former incarnation as the farm's dairy. 

Inside, your hosts have made clever use of unfinished natural materials to provide a link to the landscape, with heated tiled floors, comfy seating and a wood burner adding to the cosy atmosphere. Vibrant prints and luxurious fabrics characterise the two double bedrooms, with one boasting a four-poster bed and the other finding space for a freestanding tub. Meanwhile, a bespoke bunk bed adds an element of fun to the third. 

Step out onto the west-facing deck for glorious sunsets, best enjoyed from the warmth of the wood-fired hot tub. Afterwards, dry off by the fire pit before cooking some locally sourced produce on the barbecue. Alternatively, grab a seat in the communal courtyard with friends old and new.

Away from the cottage, the village of Stithians is just a mile down the road or a half-hour scenic walk away via the network of bridleways and footpaths that crisscross the Cornish countryside. The popular Seven Stars Inn serves modern British classics and cold pints, while the corner shops and local artisan bakery ensure you can shop local for your whole stay.

Watersports enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the reservoir, where you can sail, windsurf and paddleboard to your heart's content, with the traffic-free Mineral Tramways trail worth exploring by bike.

Finally, you can't visit this far-flung corner of the country and not head to the seaside. The cottage's location means that you're never more than seven miles from either the south or north coast. Standout surf spots include Porthowan, Gwithian, and Porthleven, all within a half-hour drive of your home.


The Dairy Shed

The journey to this charming West Cornish home is one of winding country lanes and wild, untouched beauty. You'll find it nestled in a twenty-six-acre Victorian dairy farm amidst verdant pastures, wildflower meadows and a picturesque cluster of cottages. 

Set in an old stable, the pastoral facade of this home delights from the offset. Inside, renovated interiors ensure comfort and style. We love the open-plan living space, with its fully-equipped country kitchen, large dining table and cosy lounge, complete with a wood-burning stove. Spend mornings huddled here with a cup of tea, slathering salted butter onto fresh bread from the local bakery – delivered daily to your doorstep if you wish. Outside, you'll find the enclosed garden, promising privacy and dressed to the nines with a firepit, barbecue and woodfired hot tub. Spend balmy evenings here, toasting marshmallows at sunset.

With its off-the-beaten-track location and lush surroundings, we wouldn't blame you for never leaving this pocket of heaven. Though if you fancy exploring, the towns of Redruth, Falmouth and Helston are less than twenty minutes away by car, while the honeypot haunt of St Ives is a thirty-five-minute drive away. The closest village, Stithians, can be reached in half an hour on foot. Stop by for a hearty pub lunch, or visit the local reservoir for watersports galore.

Luxuriate on the hillside patio as the sun sets, bathing the whole home in that distinctive warm, Cornish light. 

Each of the four bedrooms have been impeccably decorated with a premium touch, but we think you’ll all be fighting over the master. This room’s enormous circular window, directly overlooking the water, is the crowning jewel of the home and means you can appreciate the far-reaching view without even getting out of bed.

You can reach Porthowan's sandy shores in less than ten minutes on foot, stopping to pick up some fish and chips en route. Further along the Cornish coastline, there are plenty of hidden coves and cliffside villages to explore – just hop in the car and go where the wind (or sea) takes you.

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.

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.

From a homemade fish pie ready to be popped in the Aga upon arrival to the fluffy towels in the bathrooms, a stress-free stay is guaranteed from start to finish. The rooms are thoughtfully styled with period antiques, and the conservatory, offering distant sea views, is the ideal place to enjoy a pre-dinner drink. Head outside, and you’ll find an enclosed garden with seating and a barbecue. Fancy exploring? Set off on the South West Coast Path or head to Porthleven, a thirteen-minute drive away.

Honeysuckle House

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.

Waves on the Horizon

Upon arrival, wander along the pathway through the gardens until you reach the private gated area. From here you'll have your own secluded slice of nature to enjoy in peaceful serenity. 

Listen to the trickling stream with a cup of coffee in hand, or surround yourself with views of verdant greens and ocean blues on the elevated viewing platform. The south-facing terrace area is a lovely little sun trap and makes for an idyllic reading or sunbathing spot for ever-craved lazy days soaking up some vitamin D. On chillier days curl up in front of the wood burner fire with your favourite Netflix show playing in the background.

The interior is beautifully styled, with crisp, clean decor and deep blue highlights throughout, from the awning-striped curtains and plant prints to the contemporary kitchen and outdoor furniture. The open-plan living room features a comfortable corner sofa that you can stretch out on with the French doors flung open and enjoy alfresco breakfasts out on the balcony. Elsewhere, the master bedroom boasts an en-suite, plus its own set of large French doors that frame those picture-perfect views and open up to you can enjoy that fresh early morning sea breeze from the sanctuary of your bedroom.

Hidden behind the dunes of Upton Towans Nature Reserve, this luxury eco-home is just moments from the beach. Make your way barefoot down the sandy path flanked by rolling dunes and wild grass to Gwithian Beach's three miles of soft, golden sand. Surfing the Atlantic swells, searching the rock pools for shells, splashing in the Atlantic Ocean – whatever you get up to, there's no doubt that this is a pretty dreamy locale, especially if you prefer to start and end your days with strolls along the shore. In the afternoons, head to St Ives (fifteen minutes by car) for a fish and chips lunch, or pack a picnic and hike to the rugged cliffs near Godvrey Head for a seal-spotting session. 

Made with sustainability in mind and locally-sourced materials, this contemporary, light-filled home treads lightly on the environment and is the ideal base for a coastal escape with family or friends. It's got all the bells-and-whistles – shiny kitchen, underfloor heating, rainfall shower in the main en-suite – plus plenty of style, to boot. We love the surfboards hung on the walls, the swish seating in the living area and the leafy houseplants. The best part of all, however, is the wraparound terrace, with its bubbling hot tub, comfy sun loungers, boules court and swing set for the kids – it's the perfect spot to while away lazy summer days and watch the night roll in.

Dune Surfer

We’re not one for hyperbole, but the views from the terrace of this home really are spectacular. Not only do you have the ocean stretching out as far as the eye can see, but the beautiful bay of Praa Sands also curves down below, and the patchwork fields of south Cornwall lie in the distance. Admire the view from the perfectly placed hot tub, drink a morning coffee on the glass-fronted balcony, or cook a meal on the barbecue to enjoy overlooking the water. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room means that you can take in the scene even on cold days – when you may want to fire up the woodburner for a cosy evening in. Aside from walking, surfing and sunbathing on Praa Sands, you’ll also want to explore the nearby village and go hiking along the South West Coast Path, which is easy to reach from this home.

Cornish Breeze

Bike Shed

Step-Free Access

Cornwall erupts into life like a dormant volcano during the glistening summer months, yet the rugged charm is a beautiful sight all-year-round. Luckily, this cosy retreat is expertly placed for winter retreats and summer sauntering. 

When the sun shines on the striking shoreline, make sure to head to the gorgeous beaches that shape the Cornish coast. Falmouth is just a short drive away, whilst the more famed beach towns are under an hour away. If you want to keep things local, Truro is fourteen minutes away and provides a hint of urban life in the sprawling county.

Of course, you can always have lazy days in the village to immerse yourself in the Cornish lifestyle. Mosey through the cobbled streets and stop off for a glass of cider and a pasty in the traditional pub. For an even more intimate experience, dine alfresco on the open-air table back at the cottage.

If you're visiting during the colder months, the restful abode is the perfect place to snuggle up in the evening. Underfloor heating, a fireplace and deluxe bathtub provide blissful comfort for cosy nights in. When you're fully relaxed, curl up on the sofa with a film in the background for evening entertainment.

The Granary Barn

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.

Haze & Clouds

Temperature Control

Tucked away down a narrow country lane, this charming barn conversion offers a remote haven far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Your hosts have paid close attention to each and every element within the home, leading to a final result that is nothing short of breathtaking. A dual aspect sunroom on the first floor is the main social space and where we imagine you'll spend most of your time. 

Being encased in glass allows guests to get in touch with nature come rain or shine, while the adjacent balcony is perfect for a sunny afternoon cuppa overlooked by the resident donkeys in the next-door field.

A well-equipped kitchen is situated towards the back of the room and is more than capable of doing justice to any delicious local produce that you happen to pick up on your travels.

Head downstairs to the ground floor and unearth a gorgeous king-size bedroom, complete with a luxurious en-suite that includes an elegant freestanding bath and a spacious walk-in shower. 

Despite occupying a secluded spot in the middle of the countryside, the home is actually very well placed to explore the best of this spectacular county. Surfing hotspots including Newquay, Perranporth and Gwithian are no more than half an hour's drive. At the same time, the picturesque coastal town of St Ives offers fantastic food and high culture (courtesy of Tate St Ives), twenty-six miles away.

The Home Barn

In a tightly contested field, St Ives is one of the most idyllic coastal towns in all of Cornwall, a fact that you'll come to appreciate when gazing out the bay window in the living room of this home. From the comfort of a cosy chair, you can gaze out across the glistening bay and beaches in the distance.

Swivel around in your seat and you'll find a home that keeps it reassuringly safe and simple with the design, with white walls, wooden floors and the odd piece of nautically themed artwork making for a space that's instantly calming. The glossy kitchen is clearly influenced by the trend for all things minimalist, while the boxy bathtubs upstairs share similar traits – and offer a lovely way to finish the day.

When it comes to seeing the best of the locale, you're in an excellent position to do so. Porthmeor Beach is only a seven-minute walk away and the Tate art gallery sits close by, too. Even closer to home – three minutes on foot, to be precise – you can get a primer on the work and life of Barbara Hepworth at the museum and sculpture garden dedicated to her art.

I Spy With My Little Eye

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

This charming apartment in Carbis Bay opens its doors to the perfect seaside escape. And with swoon-worthy views, this is a wonderful place to rest, relax and be inspired by the beauty of coastal living. 

Stepping inside, the open–plan living space is light and airy – it’s the ideal spot to watch the landscape change and the waves dance in the distance. And whether you’re cuddling up on the sofa, cooking up a treat in the kitchen or sitting down to a candlelit dinner, the calming simplicity of this home makes you want to settle in and stay. 

Outside, follow the views along the garden path to the beach for a refreshing walk and picnic, or explore further along this stunning coastline – St Ives is just a ten–minute drive away. Here you’ll find a vibrant seaside community brimming with boutique shops, galleries, restaurants and cafes. And when the day draws to a close, this home provides a cosy retreat – the perfect place to watch the sunset across the horizon. 

The Indigo Blue 

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

Parking On Street

Once a fisherman’s cottage, this cute Porthleven bolthole dates back to 1880. You can picture the relief on the weather-worn fisherman’s face, returning to this cosy abode with a fire crackling in the stove (it’s electric now) and stargazy pie steaming away on the farmhouse-style table in the kitchen. Your days in Porthleven don’t have to be so hard, meandering down to the harbourfront in just a few minutes where boats still land the fresh catch of the day, supplying a glut of independent restaurants. There’s a soft-sand beach here too, for days on the surfboard.

Speaking of which, if you want to hang your wetsuit out to dry and store your board, there’s a private backyard just for this. Inside, we love the exposed stone walls still on display – a nod to the home’s history. Sinking into one of the sofas is a delight after a day on a surfboard or walking the South West Coastal Path. Then there are the bedrooms with cushioned piled high on the beds – the epitome of cosiness.
