Once an old cowshed, this Cornish cottage has been given a mesmerising new life. Located on a working farm six miles from Looe and Seaton where there are two other homes, this country retreat is a dream for rural adventurers. Stepping through the front door, we were hit by how well the living space beautifully marries traditional cottage living with modern style – the painted exposed stonework is a particularly stunning nod to the home's former life as a barn. Hardwood floors and beamed ceilings in the bedrooms also hint at the home’s history, while the white walls and blue accents remind you that the sea is never too far away. The home’s private garden is the perfect spot to listen to the morning birdsong or to fire up the barbecue on balmier evenings. On colder nights, board games await on the sofa by the wood-burning stove. As well as the private outdoor space, the home boasts an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens, ideal for picnics and walking the dog. And with so many landmarks and the South West Coast Path a short drive away, there are plenty of outdoor escapades to be had – fitting for life on the farm.

This building started its life as a dairy but, thanks to a complete renovation along with the neighbouring homes, it's now a cosy cottage ideal for switching yourself off from the world. Though redesigned for modern living, wandering around we were awestruck by just how well this home marries its traditional past with stylish modernity. The stone exterior, timber beams and wooden floors retain the dairy feel, but shiplap-clad white walls and chic kitchen cupboards emphasise the light, and the silver wood burning stove offers a futuristic twist on a farmhouse classic. It's almost a surprise inside when you consider your surroundings, a rural and well looked-after working farm. Outside you've got your own courtyard too, a suntrap perfect for barbecues and listening to birdsong and the occasional moo and baa. The rolling Cornish countryside is right on your doorstep, while the ancient market town of Liskeard is just three miles away. If you fancy a day at the seaside, Looe and Seaton are a six-mile drive away.

Fishing boats and surfboards sit side by side in the harbour, just outside this home’s walls. It’s in the centre of Looe, just five minutes from the beach and a three-minute walk from the train station. A working fishing town, the immediate area is filled with restaurants and pubs serving the freshest catch of the day and there’s a town beach where soft sand slips into turquoise sea. 

The view from big, Victoriana windows is over the quayside of the East Looe River so you can watch boats putting in and out. This place may look like a grand, Victorian villa on the outside, but inside it’s pristine white and modern with vibrant pops of silky blue. An exposed stone fireplace still sits at the heart of the living room though, where French doors let the natural light stream in. Cook your own catch of the day in the ultra-modern kitchen which is big enough for several chefs to bustle around in.

The real bonus here is the private terrace, which is set with a table and chairs. Overlooking the quayside, this is the perfect spot to share a bottle of something bubbly as the sun goes down over the water.

Set in a former hotel, this home is an excellent choice for exploring some of Cornwall's prettiest corners while avoiding the crowds. It’s a minutes’ drive from the bustling port of Looe, where we love to mosey around the model village, gorge on the catch of the day at a restaurant or perch on the sheltered beach. Polperro is also close by, a ten minutes’ drive away, with its cobbled streets and local pubs. Back at home, you’ll find a relaxing bright environment with beachy vibes. We love the different coloured wood in the kitchenette, the blue tiles in the bathroom and the wicker lamps. The loveseat has a clear nautical theme, perfect for afternoon lounging, while the bed is luxurious and welcoming at the end of the day. Enjoy breakfast at the small wooden table, or outside in finer weather, and map out your plans for the day. For the more adventurous, there are several canoe, kayak and paddleboarding shops in Looe, with the choice to hire or go on a guided tour. Otherwise, hit the gorgeous coastal walking paths, following the cliffs and coastline and even passing a few sheltered little beaches.

Located mere miles from the Cornish coast and well known for being one of Cornwall’s most historic properties, this Grade II-listed manor home cuts a striking figure. You’ll discover plenty of hidden gems from the moment you step foot on the 25-acre stretch of land, and we guarantee that there’ll be another surprise always waiting around the corner. Find the Elizabethan ruins outside, along with orchards, paddocks and woodland designed by Sir Humphrey Repton in 1972.  

If you can resist the lure of the roses, honeysuckle, and jasmine mixed together in a sweet floral scent outside, you might be able to explore the wonder of the home instead. Read in the light of the sprawling arched windows or come together in the drawing room each evening for a glass of port. Run your fingers over period pieces and gilded mirror frames as you stroll to the generous kitchen for another cup of coffee.

Enjoy sunset drinks in the wood-fired hot tub or around the gnarled tree – the lawn is also ideal for spontaneous picnics or for little ones to run around on. 

When ready, trade the sunshine streaming in through the living room windows for sun-drenched days at the beach by driving past Portwinkle and towards Tregantle Beach. Eat fresh fish and chips, visit Port Elliot Gardens, and return to a luxurious bubble bath and some well-deserved R&R.

Arch Manor

Only a ten-minute drive from the cobbled streets of Polperro and the bustling harbour town of Looe, this studio apartment is a countryside hideaway. Part of a converted hotel, the home is set in the rolling fields of Cornwall. We love to run an evening bath in the outdoor tub and watch the sunset over the hills. The small plot is great for a solo stay or romantic retreat – with a comfy king-size bed and small kitchenette to cook up light meals and breakfasts. The hosts are particularly attentive and bursting with recommendations and helpful tips. Lace up your walking boots: there are paths to explore on the four acres of land the home is set on, or drive to the nearby South West Coast Path for tramps over coastal cliffs. On sunny days, it's a quick journey to Cornwall's most beautiful beaches. We love Lantic Bay, a sheltered cove that's only accessible by foot, for a sense of privacy. For dinner, it's best to head out and make the most of the abundance of seafood in this region.

Oak Loft

Affording exceptional views of England's green and pleasant land from the living room, this family studio is perfect for those looking to get away from city life and explore the lush, undulating countryside of Cornwall. It overlooks the scenic Oaklands Park, and is just a ten-minute drive from Polperro Beach and East Looe Beach. Situated in a former hotel, the apartment itself is embellished by beautiful raw-wood in and around the kitchenette and living room. It has three beds in total – a king for parents and twins for children – all with super-soft 400-thread count linen. Perfect for resting those weary legs after hiking through the Cornish country.

Just a stone’s throw from the centre of the quaint harbour town of Looe, this home is the perfect base for exploring the Cornish coast. Boasting views across the estuary, a games room and two floors filled with natural light, it’s ideal for a seaside stay with a few close friends or family. 

Start your days with a coffee overlooking the river, before taking the ten-minute walk down to the sandy beach for buckets and spades, crabbing, or open-air dining on the quayside. The South West Coast Path is easily accessible, with world-class hiking and spectacular scenery right on your doorstep, and getting out on the water for a fishing excursion or a boat trip to the charming port of Polperro is an idyllic way to spend a day. 

In the evening, whip up a delicious meal in the delightful modern kitchen, hit the table football, or take a five-minute stroll across the bridge towards Looe Harbour for a wealth of pubs, bars and restaurants. 

Little Cove

Quirky and charming with easy access to Cornwall's world-famous coastline, this apartment is a great pick for two couples or a family with older children. Although it's located in central Looe, it's a peaceful spot where you can press pause and enjoy a seaside getaway. 

You can see the entire beach from the enormous windows in the open-plan living area, which is decked out with zebra-print rugs and sleek, contemporary furnishings. The open-plan layout is perfectly set up for socialising with your guests, and you can cook up a delicious evening meal to share at the chic dining table. There's even a spacious balcony where you can catch the morning sun and admire the views as you enjoy your breakfast. 

From here, take a four-minute wander down to the sandy beach, to enjoy a paddle in the surf or an ice cream on the shore. Keen hikers and casual walkers alike can join the nearby South West Coast Path and admire the stunning cliffs and maritime vistas. And, if you want to visit the iconic Eden Project, you can arrive there in forty-five minutes by car. 

Zebras on the Beach

Wake up in the morning, make yourself a coffee, walk out onto the impressive deck, and marvel at the landscape on your doorstep. The elegant Victorian house is situated in Looe – a fishing port with charming narrow streets, harbourside eateries, and sandy stretches of beach. 

The town is excellent for the food-obsessed. Imbibe the atmosphere of the market and its locally sourced produce, or catch your own dinner on a fishing excursion with a wizened local sea captain. Make the most of your surroundings and access Looe Island by boat, where you can explore untouched natural beauty, discover its intriguing history and encounter wildlife unique to this part of the world. For scenic walks and established hiking paths, visit Kilminorth Woods for breathtaking flora and fauna combined with fresh sea air. 

After a long day exploring and eating, come home, collapse on the corner sofa and bask in the period features and modern comforts. Alternatively, spend balmy summer nights on the deck under the stars at your riverside retreat.

Time in Looe

Though this home in Looe is a bit of a climb, we think it's worth it. Once you reach the top of the steep lane, you'll have a magnificent view of the boats bobbing along the East Looe River from the private deck. It's a pretty sight, and thanks to the table and chairs, you'll be able to savour the scenery day or night alongside alfresco meals and evening cocktails. The inside makes the most of the location, too – not only do the Victorian bay windows in the lounge and bedrooms flood the rooms with light, but they also show off the water views. Cooking is anything but a chore in the sleek kitchen - it has everything you need to rustle up a delicious dinner, including a kitchen island for light bites. On rainy days, snuggle up in the living area – there's a DVD player, Netflix, a PS3 for gamers and an array of board games to play – but when the weather is nice, there's no better place to soak up the sun than East Looe Beach. It's an eight-minute walk away, so grab a towel and hit the sand. Also within walking distance are lots of traditional pubs, independent restaurants and local cafes if you're not in the mood to cook, and with the Eden Project just over a half hour's drive away, you'll be well-placed for exploring South East Cornwall.

Just Above The Riverbend

Set in the heart of the Cornish countryside, this studio apartment has everything you need for some quality time away, whether that be with a partner or even a little time alone. Formerly part of a hotel, the plot has been restyled into a homely space, with a comfy king-size bed at the centrepiece of the room. We think there's somewhat of a Scandi-style interior here, with plain bedspreads, all-white walls and pale wood furnishings. There's also a convenient kitchenette for preparing breakfast and quick lunches, but it's less than a ten-minute drive into some of Cornwall's prettiest villages and some great food. Order the catch of the day at one of the seafood restaurants in Looe, or wander around Polperro's narrow cobbled streets until you come across a traditional pub. Sandy beaches and clear waters are also a short five-minute drive from home. The two beaches at nearby Talland are lovely for paddling or rock pooling. Further afield, Lantic Bay is only accessible by foot, meaning fewer crowds. For the ultimate relaxation, it's back home for a glass of champagne and an alfresco bath under the stars. 

Starry Soak

Heated Towel Rail

Nestled beside Kilminorth Woods, this countryside home is a truly tranquil haven. With space for up to eight guests plus a furry friend it's a wonderful spot to begin your adventures in Cornwall. 

The historic stone cottage still retains plenty of period charm, and it will take no time for the whole family to settle in. The warm colour scheme will make you feel right at home, and you'll love curling up next to the fire on wintery evenings. When you get hungry you can head to the kitchen to whip up some tasty dishes using fresh, local ingredients. Then, you can serve your culinary creations at the handsome dining table, or head outside for a delicious alfresco feast. 

You only need to lace up your walking boots or hop on your bike to start exploring the rolling countryside right on your doorstep. The pretty coastal town of Looe is only a short drive away, where you can enjoy some fish and chips while you watch the boats bobbing in the harbour. There's also a little beach in Looe – or, you can do some exploring and walk along the South West Coastal to discover hidden coves and crystal clear waters.

Once upon a time, this waterfront home was a coastguard's cottage. Since then it has since been completely renovated to create a fantastic holiday home for up to four guests, plus a furry friend. 

On chilly evenings, you can throw a log on the fire and curl up with a board game or a good book. The bright and airy dining space is perfect for long, lavish dinners cooked using fresh ingredients from the verdant Cornish countryside. Best of all, there's plenty of outside space to enjoy when the sun is shining. Sip a tipple on the patio, then fire up the barbeque for an alfresco feast with a sea view. And, there's no better way to round off your day than with a long, luxurious soak in the outdoor hot tub – bliss. 

You only need to take a few steps down to arrive at the waterfront, where you can dip your toes in the sea or go paddleboarding. If you prefer a long, sandy beach, then Tregantle Beach is only a short drive away. And, when you fancy a day trip, head into Plymouth to learn about the port city's rich maritime history. 

The Coastguard

Fenced Property

When you imagine a stereotypically Cornish cottage, this quaint whitewashed home covered in cascading roses can’t be far from the mark. 

Inside, this romance continues. The soft-hued interior is cosy and oh-so-delicate, with pretty pinks and soft greys mixed with nautical touches and vintage-style furnishings. That being said, the kitchen and bathroom lie on the more contemporary side.

Out through the back door, guests also get the run of a lush green garden with sea views, which you can admire while sitting on the patio with the barbecue smoking away in the background. An added bonus comes in the shape of a sea-blue summer house full of candy-coloured cushions just waiting for you to recline with a good book.

In the local area, the pretty fishing port of Looe can be reached in around fifteen minutes on foot, while the sandy Plaidy Beach is only five minutes' walk. If you're in the mood for a longer excursion, the South West Coast Path is easily reached, too.

Sugar Flowers

Moments away from the bustling narrow streets and picturesque harbour of Looe, this whitewashed cottage strikes the perfect note for a relaxing stay on the South East coast. Set across two floors, the owners have retained the original features whilst integrating contemporary comforts and personal touches – the result is a charming family home filled with warmth and character. 

From the large inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove to the sculptural driftwood and natural tones, every detail inspires you to settle in and make this space your own. So whether you’re here for an action-packed Cornish getaway or a quiet retreat, you’ll find this home brings a wonderful sense of comfort and ease to daily living. 

Outside, the tiered garden invites you to enjoy beautiful views across the town towards the glistening shoreline. There’s an elevated terrace with a charcoal barbecue – perfect for embracing the magic of outdoor living. And when you’re ready to get warm and cosy, the living room beckons you inside to spend relaxing evenings by the fire.

From here, it’s just a short walk down to the harbour and beach. Alongside the South West Coast Path, there’s also easy access to the river and surrounding countryside, while renowned local restaurants such as The Sardine Factory celebrate the art of locally-sourced fish prepared in delicious style. 

Pearl of the Sea

Love the sound of the ocean? Then this sophisticated, modern home in the little village of Portwrinkle is the place for you. Set over three floors, all facing the sea just steps away, it's part of a gleaming new development of a handful of striking, contemporary houses. Decked out in grey and black, with balconies and terraces featuring clear glass balustrades, it's a delightful spot with some pretty impressive added luxuries.

We enter via the games room and utility area on the ground floor, where you'll find a pool table and – as odd as it may sound – a dog shower. Perfect for washing the sand from your furry friend, it's a unique feature we think could make all the difference to your stay. There's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom – perfect if some guests prefer a little more privacy – and stairs lead up to the large kitchen and impressive living room. Here you can enjoy panoramic views of the coastline and access both a small balcony and a side terrace with an outdoor dining table. It also happens to house a private hot tub with sea views.

The two remaining bedrooms and bathrooms are on the top floor and it's here you'll find our favourite room. The main bedroom is simply stunning, with a private balcony and a large en-suite bathroom with a glass wall so that, from the raised bathtub, you can not only see the TV but also out through the patio doors to the sea. 

Perfect for a group of friends or a family here to relax on the beach, it's only a short walk to the Whitsand Bay Golf Course, and a cute café, with plenty of big attractions within a short drive.

Follow your Nautical Star

The view from this seaside home has to be one of the best in Looe – overlooking the sandy beach and as close to the sea as it gets. Split over two floors, it's a large and practical apartment with a balcony and plenty of room for a family or group of friends. And with the beach just steps from your door, we imagine you'll be out there for morning walks, afternoons of sandcastle building and maybe even evening paddles.

Inside, you'll have two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the entrance level, meaning there's an upside-down arrangement here – allowing the main bedroom and living room to benefit from the best views. Open and bright, the living space upstairs has comfy seating, a dining table and doors out to the balcony. Shades of blue, white and grey reflect the view outside and they're continued into the kitchen, where a large hatch keeps everything nice and sociable at meal times. 

Here you'll also be just a short walk from Looe's many restaurants, tea rooms and shops, with the working fishing harbour on your doorstep and boat trips out to the nearby island. And there's lots to explore within an hour's drive too, from Plymouth's aquarium to the Eden Project.  

Edge of the Sand

Rooftop Terrace

With its expansive sea views, luxurious hot tub and uplifting palette of colours, this is the kind of home that brings a refreshing burst of energy to daily living. And with its location on the hills above the pretty coastal village of Portwrinkle, you’ll be in the perfect location for a dreamy Cornish getaway. 

Stepping inside, you’ll find the ground floor garage features a games room – setting the tone for a fun-filled family stay. From here, the stairs or lift take you up to experience the height of relaxation. Featuring an open-plan living room with bi-folding doors, the second floor provides an idyllic spot to watch the landscape transform. And whether you’re enjoying a quiet morning coffee or sunset drinks, it’s easy to feel mesmerised by the views. 

Outside, the covered terrace welcomes you to indulge the senses with long soaks in the hot tub – on clear nights this is also a magical spot for star gazing. Back inside, you’ll find the large dining table makes it easy to enjoy intimate gatherings – and if you don’t feel like cooking your host can help arrange an immersive dining experience.  

Days can be spent embracing the waves on the beach, strolling by the historic harbour and trekking along Cornwall’s spectacular coast. The village pub is a ten-minute walk away, while golfers will love the close proximity to Whitsand Bay golf course.

Satellite / Cable TV

Just steps away from the beach, this home is perfect for larger groups planning a seaside getaway. Situated in the charming hamlet of Portwinkle, it's a peaceful spot where you can begin your Cornish coastal adventures. 

The open-plan living space is a beautiful, contemporary space with huge windows. On rainy days you can flop down on the sofa and watch the waves, before cooking up a hearty family feast in the smart kitchen. When the sun is shining, you'll love relaxing on the balcony with a cool drink. Then, round off each evening with a long, luxurious soak in the hot tub while the kids play table tennis in the games room. 

Just 100m away you'll find the little local beach – it's perfect for taking a dip or practicing your paddleboarding. If you fancy a change of scene, the long, sandy Tregantle Beach is just a short drive away, and there are plenty of hidden coves to discover dotted along the coast. And, hikers can don their boots and join the nearby South West Coastal Path, for an invigorating walk with spectacular vistas. 

Beach Strolls

The quaint seaside town of Looe is Cornwall at its glorious best. Cute ice cream stores line the picturesque harbour, a dreamy location that radiates under the sun and hums in the evening. Luckily, this deluxe home is placed right in the heart of the charming town.

The traditional exterior extends out below this hilltop house, and views stretch across the turquoise Cornish sea to St George’s Island. It’s a short, downhill stroll to the harbour where seafood restaurants serve the fresh catch of the day. 

For a fun-filled afternoon, boats are ready to whisk you away to wildlife spotting along the shore. Right outside the house, you can join the South West Coast Path to stretch your legs in the sea air. The area is blessed with a wealth of natural beauty.

True to its coastal location, the décor inside is fresh white and blue with nautical-themed feature walls and soft furnishings. Enjoy an authentic Cornish pasty on the dining room table, staring out across the glistening hues of the sea.

If you want to explore further than Looe, Cornwall is formed of breathtaking locations. Discover the gorgeous beaches along the rugged coastline or the enchanting towns that form the alluring county.


The Gulls

Be your own Lord and Lady of the Manor at this bucolic cottage tucked away on the grounds of a Georgian stately home in Cornwall.

With a spread of deer parklands and lakes (wild swimming and paddle boarding, anyone?) on your doorstep, there’s heaps to keep you busy here. Channel the good life, collecting fresh eggs and picking vegetables from the kitchen garden. Up the ante with tennis on the court or table tennis in the games barn, which you’ll share with the other four homes dotted about the grounds. Or simply lose yourself to the expansive landscaped gardens seeking out the historical monuments along the way.

When the Cornish coast comes calling, take your pick from the north and south coast – you’re perched between them both. Our vote goes to Polperro Beach (a 15.4 kilometre drive) for bucket and spade days or, for a little more bustle, an afternoon in Fowey is just the ticket.

Back home, those pretty arched windows and clapboard vaulted ceilings are the stars of the show here. Look elsewhere, and you’ll uncover thoughtful touches like freshly-cut flowers and a welcome hamper filled with goodies in the shaker-style kitchen to make your stay unique. While over in the restful bedrooms, each with en-suites, you can tell an interior designer has been working their magic with modern floral textiles nailing the British eccentric style. And the icing on the cake? That suntrap, private terrace surrounded by blooming flowers to while away the long summer nights.

Out in Bloom

This chocolate box cottage may be small in size, but it still packs a punch. Sure, it’s a bit of a squeeze, particularly in the bedrooms, but it’s homely and comfortable with everything you need for a coastal retreat. Set just minutes away from the quayside, you can dip your feet into the sea or breathe in the fresh coastal air in no time. And for nights when you don’t feel like cooking, you’ll find a fantastic pub just a short stroll away serving delicious food and local beers.

The Sea in My Heart

The elevated position of Mercurial Tides gives you incredible sweeping views of the ocean, so you can settle in with a cocktail and watch the colourful sunset from your living room or your patio every evening. When you’re feeling adventurous you can explore the stunning coastal trail that passes right near your home, or try out some fishing or watersports. Looe Bay really is a stone’s throw from your front door, and there are also countless other beaches to explore up and down the coast. The village you look over from the balcony, with its pubs, shops and restaurants, is also a very short walk away.

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

The Cornish fishing town of Looe is on your doorstep here in this wonderfully bright apartment with stunning views over Looe Bay.

Sitting atop a hill, an endless stretch of water can be seen from the front terrace that beckons sunset aperitifs, off the open-plan living area, as well as from the triple aspect windows around the elegant dining table.

The comfortable bedroom also boasts fantastic vistas, allowing you to fall asleep to the gentle murmur of the distant sea and wake up to the sun rising above its glittering horizon. 

When you’re ready to explore, make your way down to Looe Harbour (an eighteen-minute walk) where boats bring in all the fresh fish that finds its way onto the menus of the nearby harbour-side restaurants and award-winning fish and chip shops. Alternatively, grab your towel and head to the sands of East Looe Beach (a twenty-minute walk) and attempt to ride the waves with the help of an instructor from one of the nearby surf schools. With the famous South West Coast Path just a two-minute stroll from your door as well, there’s no end to the Cornish seaside delights in store.

Bursting with character, this cute-as-a-button barn conversion found on a forty-acre Cornish farm offers a real escape from the stresses of modern life. You'll have all the charming rustic touches you would hope for — exposed stone walls, a vaulted ceiling and a log burner — but there's a modern feel, and absolutely no chintz. You can slip into your own wood-fired hot tub just outside the back door, and the host has been thoughtful enough to provide a generous stack of logs to get you started. Meet the farm animals or set off alongside the private Nature Reserve to discover the private shingle beach on the River Tamar. Later, take advantage of some of the farm's other surprises — a communal games room with ping-pong, a shared tennis court, a hammock hidden away in the orchard, and a basketball hoop. With a number of extra activities also bookable, you can take part in a foraging workshop, try out stand-up paddleboarding or get involved in local wine tasting. Alternatively, you can drive to the port city of Plymouth in about forty minutes and visit the National Marine Aquarium.

Sitting in the middle of a thirty-acre farm in the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this barn conversion is a fittingly impressive home for such an idyllic location. 

There are plenty of spots from which you can gaze out at the pretty meadows, woodland and the banks of the River Tamar that surround the address, whether that's out through the floor-to-ceiling windows that line the main living space or while seated on the roof terrace bordered by a leafy pergola. However, the home's interior is well worth your attention, too. Certain features have been retained from the building's industrious past, including wooden ceiling beams and exposed stonework, but otherwise, the design is bright and contemporary.

The number of amenities available to guests distinguishes this home from the pack. Not only is there a homely wood-burning stove in the main space, but there's a games room with a ping-pong table and darts board in a section that was once a cattle shed, plus lots of equipment for outdoor games beside the forecourt and lawned area. Here you will find tables, benches and additional seating for your exclusive use and space to stoke up barbecues and challenge the group to a variety of games.

Elsewhere on the site, there are the ruins of a silver and lead mine accompanied by the pumping engine house and smithy, part of the industrial landscape recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are other footpaths that lead off into the countryside, but you can also stroll down to the banks of the River Tamar, on which there's a two-hour window every day when it's safe to use it for water sports.

It's clear that converting this traditional, award-winning stone barn into a luxury home has been a labour of love. Set across two floors, it's a warm and cosy space that's the ideal base for enjoying the scenic Cornish countryside. Start your first day with breakfast from some of the goodies provided by your lovely hosts. The open plan living space is the home's beating heart, dominated by beautifully restored original wooden beams that run along the vaulted ceiling, a lick of sophisticated red paint and a charming wood burner. We love the hot tub in the pretty garden – it’s the perfect place to unwind. The great outdoors is the real draw here. The home makes up part of a former Duchy of Cornwall daffodil farm – nowadays, chickens and ducks roam the grounds freely – and there are even Highland cows too. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – there are fantastic local walks (maps and wellies provided) on your doorstep. You can enjoy the amenities of the farm, too, including a tennis court, an orchard with a hammock, basketball hoop, woodland, and a private shingle beach right on the river – there are forty acres to explore in total. There's certainly plenty to keep you occupied here –  your hosts are Cornwall Wildlife Trust Members, which affords you access to wildlife education sessions for children, including mini-beast safaris, rock pooling events, and bird box making. You can also book a foraging workshop, stand-up paddleboarding, wine tasting, spa treatments, afternoon teas, suppers and more.

Hen House Hideaway

Boconnoc is a little parish just a few miles outside of Lostwithiel, one of Cornwall's most sought-after rural villages. Staying here will give you the comfort of choosing whether you prefer the peace and quiet of the estate or the somewhat livelier compact village up the road where you can find a few brilliant gastropubs. Of course, nothing is stopping you from taking the car to other places like Fowey and the Eden Project as the whole of the peninsula is well-marked and the roads can easily take you quite far in under an hour. The cottage itself is a beautifully refurbished affair, draped in bold colours and furnished with comfortable furniture. You'll get plenty of light, access to the estate's tennis courts and games room, as well as the option of getting fresh seasonal produce delivered from the kitchen garden. If you're looking to really put your feet up and relax, the host can organise a private chef and regular in-house cleaning. 

Kindred Spirits

This award-winning Victorian Gothic-style cottage set on a former daffodil farm makes for the ultimate romantic escape. While we'd probably leave the kid with grandma this time, a sofa bed and cot are available should you wish to plan a cosy stay for three. It's a studio arrangement, yet a separate eat-in kitchen and private garden give you more options than your typical single-room setup. You'll find a hot tub, patio table and chairs outside, so in the warmer months, you can sit and enjoy the sunshine for hours. And with all there is to do around here, you may not make it inside until bedtime. You'll have use of the tennis court, orchard picnic area, basketball hoop, woodland, nature reserve and river beach. Your hosts can also hook you up with discounted tickets to the Lost Gardens of Heligan or organise remarkable experiences such as foraging workshops, paddleboarding, spa treatments or afternoon tea. Did we mention that some of Cornwalls most gorgeous beaches are just thirteen miles away? Back home, round off an explorative day curled up by the crackling fire with a good book and a glass of wine in hand. Whether you're here for a romantic couple's escape or quality (small) family time, this home has so much to offer inside and out. 

Tom Thumb

Ideally located between Bodmin Moor and the coast, the Boconnoc Estate offers unbeatable access to Cornwall’s vibrant countryside. Don’t forget to bring your wellies because one of the best things to do here is to get outside. Eggs In A Basket is perfect for a large family or gathering of friends. Sequester yourself away in a peaceful corner of the estate and enjoy sweeping views across the parkland from the patio. Spend a spring day exploring the grounds, collect your eggs for breakfast or find tonight’s dinner growing in the market garden. We’d recommend requesting the in-house chef for your feasting needs. The more adventurous among you can make the most of the foraging spots and harvest handfuls of wild garlic to cook themselves. After a day of activity, switch off and relax inside. The playful decor by Sarah Fortescue features furnishings sourced both locally and around the globe. We love the dining table made from oak sourced directly from the estate.
