The french-style furniture adds plenty of sophistication and comfort to its open-plan interior living spaces. Our favourite spot in the home is unquestionably the master suite’s marble bathroom – the hand-painted ceiling really is something else. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms

Enjoy a glass of bubbly while watching as the balmy sky paints a colourful picture over the horizon. If you're bringing your dog, there's even an outside shower by the shed – perfect for washing muddy paws and rinsing off wet suits. Wander the narrow winding streets of Mousehole – lined with boutiques, galleries and restaurants. With the fishing port, only a seven-minute walk away as well as surf beaches galore around this part of Cornwall, you'll be based in a dream coastal spot for a quintessential English seaside experience.

Should you be one for water sports and scuba diving, you'll never run out of options in this part of the world. Besides, it's always a good idea to take a boat to explore surrounding volcanic islands on days you want to simply soak up the sun. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom
