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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

This home in the seaside town of Perranporth has all the convenience and comfort of a new build while enjoying a position a short walk from the beach. In fifteen minutes on foot, you can be in the heart of town where seafood restaurants and cosy pubs abound, plus there’s a sweep of sandy beach and access to the glorious South West Coastal Path. 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?

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.

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

Elevated on the dunes of Perranporth, this home is on a coveted edge of Cornwall overlooking both the sea and the vibrant harbour. Wake to floods of natural light, the sound of the surf, and family-friendly open-plan living. 

Step out on your own private balcony to admire the water and breathe the salt infused air. We understand that simply admiring the stunning views isn't enough to satisfy your thirst for a Cornish adventure. The surfers can grab their boards and tackle the waves of Cornwall's largest beach.

If surfing isn't your vibe, you can simply sunbathe under the gorgeous rays of the sun or go for a swim in the sea. If you prefer to explore inland, there are numerous scenic walking trails that showcase the natural beauty of this cosy corner of Cornwall.

However you spend your days, be sure to head back home to enjoy the breathtaking sunset views. Settle down with a Cornish pasty or glass of local cider and soak in the beauty of the sun slowly fading beneath the horizon.

Step out on your private balcony (one of three), admire the golden sands and sparkling sea of Perranporth Beach, and breathe in the salt-infused air. It's the perfect place for an alfresco lunch of local seafood, washed down with a glass of wine. Inside, those glorious vistas can still be enjoyed from the stylish living space and bedrooms. Imagine waking up, opening the doors and listening to the crashing waves – bliss. 

It's just a minute stroll to the biggest beach in Cornwall for a kite buggy ride or a sandcastle building challenge – three miles of dunes and beach are right at your doorstep. Watch the famous sunsets over the north coast of Cornwall from the beach bar and restaurant here. Or, if you're looking for something more rigorous, the coastal hiking paths are also right beside your door.

Single-Level Home

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

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.

Located in central Newquay, this home delivers a great base for a refreshing coastal escape. From here, it’s a short stroll to the beach, while the nearest restaurants, shops and cafes are all within easy reach. Back at home, you’ll find the open-plan living room lends itself perfectly to cosy gatherings by the fire. Board games are provided, children’s amenities can be arranged, and there’s the handy addition of a sofa bed for two guests. Other highlights include the sea views from the main bedroom and the private garden – a sweet spot for summer evening drinks.

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. Decked out with a picnic table, deck chairs and a grill, this is the perfect spot to catch some rays or gather for a celebratory barbecue feast. 
 
Spend evenings enjoying snacks and drinks around the kitchen island or unleash your competitive side at the pool table that cleverly converts into a dining table. For further fun, you’ve got plenty of board games to dive into as well as a karaoke machine to end any day on a high note. 
 
With three stylish beds, desk spaces and bathrooms boasting rainfall showers, you’re all set for a relaxing time. And when you’re ready to venture out for some sea and sand, you need only walk nine minutes to catch the surf at Newquay Beach, while Tolcarne Beach is a mere seven-minute stroll away. 


Tolcarne Sands

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. 

Seashells & Pearls

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

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

Nestled on the Cornish coast within walking distance of Newquay's iconic Fistral Beach, this tranquil home has been designed for total relaxation. The large windows and glazed doors allow you to wake up to dramatic views of the Atlantic, while the covered balcony is the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee while the restorative sea air gets to work.

Inside, the neutral palette is peppered with colourful pops of blue, creating a beachy feel that is synonymous with the area's laid-back lifestyle. You'll even have your own surfboard storage for stowing away all your beach gear here, making early morning surf sessions a complete breeze – even the most dedicated land-lubbers will be tempted to take to the waves. 

Or, lace up your walking boots and spend afternoons exploring the nearby rugged coves and sweeping bays before retreating to your cosy home to share a meal at the handsome Scandi-style dining table, and sink into the luxury linens. Can you almost hear the waves gently lapping the shore already?

Fenced Property

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. You'll also find it easy to reach famous locations like The Eden Project and The Roseland Peninsula, where you can stroll along beautiful beaches and discover hidden coves.

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

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

Sample a taste of life on the ocean waves without ever leaving dry land. If this stunning home was any closer to the sea, it would be in it – as it is, the windows grant a view of the beach that’s guaranteed to make your heart skip a beat. 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.

Breezy and bright, this home has quintessential English seaside written all over it. Whether you're here to top up your tan, hike breathtaking coastal paths or surf Fistral's world-class waves, you couldn't be more perfectly positioned to enjoy everything that Newquay has to offer. On arrival, it's hard to look past the view over the beach. So swing open the French doors, breathe in that sea air and listen to the sounds of the sea – the soundtrack to your stay. We loved the relaxed living spaces that made us nostalgic for childhood holidays to the Cornish coast. It's the ideal spot to sit back with your morning coffee as you plan what to do with your day. Of course, the beach offers something completely different depending on the weather. Blow away the cobwebs on a windy walk, brave a bracing dip, or soak up the sun on the sand. As for the surfing? That's a year-round pursuit. There's no such thing as cold water, just the wrong gear. And there are plenty of local surf shops that can kit you out. Away from the beach, the town beckons with an excellent selection of seafood restaurants and cool cafes with some classic Cornish fare too. Who doesn't love a pasty? Families will love the zoo and aquarium, while couples can enjoy the sunset from the comfort of a contemporary home with views to die for.

Swallow's Hide-Out

This Cornwall home might be compact, but it definitely does the job. Not only is it wonderfully bright with all the right furnishings to make it feel cosy, but it also puts you within easy access to Perranporth Beach. 

Stroll to find where golden sand meets the Atlantic and wander the stretching beach until you’ve come across the perfect spot to spend the day. Perranporth is a paradise for watersports enthusiasts, so why not sign up for snorkelling or surfing lessons? Build sandcastles, eat melting ice cream, frolic in the surf or sunbathe whilst listening to the gently lapping waves until you go in search of lunch. 

You’ll find quite a few restaurants in the surrounding – one only a minute away from your front door – but we recommend fish and chips to pay homage to the coastal location. 

Of course, you can always bring your chippy back home to enjoy it in peaceful solitude on the terrace. Stay out after enjoying an ice-cold pint in the sunshine as the children run around on the sloping lawn. 

Razorbill

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.

Daybreak View

Situated a ten-minute walk from Fistral Beach and Newquay Golf Club, this comfortable apartment is a fabulous seaside escape for a family or couple of friends who like to spend their time outdoors. Inside, an open-plan living space with a tropically sweet pink and green colour scheme opens up onto a private balcony, where you can sit out with indulgent cream tea and watch fishing boats slip over the horizon. A clever kitchen makes light work of whipping up culinary favourites, but if you’d prefer to eat out, there’s a fine selection of restaurants a fifteen-minute walk from your doorstep. Once you’re fuelled and raring to go, scamper down to the waterfront to carve through crashing waves or relax on golden sands. Head home at the end of a windswept day, tuck away your surfboard in the storage provided and fall back into comfortable beds for a night of sweet dreams. 

Fistral Vista

Whether you’re enjoying a glass of wine or a sociable family meal at the glass dining table, you’ll be able to look out over the curved bay of Fistral Beach from the huge windows of this penthouse home. Walk just three minutes and find yourself on the sandy shores of one of the most popular beaches in Newquay – and one of the best beaches for surfing in Europe. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, there are surfing schools along the coast to jumpstart or advance your foray into the sport. Start your day with a cup of coffee on the private terrace as you make your plans for the day, or just spend the morning hours watching the comings and goings of the waves. The kitchen is perfect for preparing meals at home, while the bedrooms feel comfortable and cosy, with all the charm of a real lived-in home. In the evenings you’ll witness some spectacular sunsets – pour yourself a glass of wine, settle in the white leather armchair, and watch the sky change colours over the water. Whether you’re interested in walks along the South West Coastal path, golfing or a visit to the aquarium, you’ll find yourself well-placed for exploring this part of the Cornish coast.

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. 


Cornish Cream Tea

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.
