From the terrace, you'll be able to see the beautiful valley, as well as the West Looe River. This is a hidden gem if ever we've seen one. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms

Click to book Breeze Spinner now: from £200 per night Breeze Spinner is close enough to the ocean that you can practically feel it. The floor-to-ceiling windows let you make the most of the views, and you can breathe in the fresh sea air from your balcony. The sandy beach is a couple of minutes’ walk away, and you’re also conveniently close to local shops and village pubs. You’ll be able to cook up dinner for everyone in the evenings and enjoy it with a view, or head out and sample some local fish and chips. Adventurous guests will be able to try out watersports, surfing, fishing and golf, as well as walking and cycling, all in the local area. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms

Click to book Sweetness & Slate now: from £200 per night Tucked away in a wooded hamlet, with the river running by, this charming Cornish cottage is a quiet idyll of rural bliss. Featuring everything you’d expect from a traditional home – wooden beams, slate sills and a wood burner – it's peppered with floral accents that fit its cosy vibe. With a hillside and woodland behind it, here it's all about the front garden. A beautiful space, particularly in summer, you'll find a large patio with garden furniture, a slate chipping parking area and just beyond it a raised barbecue nook. It's only a short drive away but keen walkers might want to grab their boots and follow the meandering footpath through the woods and along the riverbank into the harbour town of Looe. Here you’ll discover fishing boats and a sandy beach, dine on fresh seafood and shop for trinkets in the quaint cobbled streets. And bring the binoculars along, we're told this is a great bird-watching spot. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Captain Surf now: from £200 per night Just minutes away from the golden sands of Harbour Beach, Balamuz and Porthgwidden Beach (to name but a few), Captain Surf is the ideal home for a British beach break. This beautiful apartment is furnished with a knowing nod to its coastal setting and is all on one level – great if you need ease of access. Spend your days riding the waves, soaking up the scenery and enjoying the independent shops and cafes of St Ives (it’s one of the few British seaside resorts that is old-school charming and cool at the same time). Then wash the salt out of your hair before spending some quality time with your friends or family in the open plan kitchen, dining and living area. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
