Brimming with original artwork and oozing charm, this coastal cottage is a real knock-out. We love every inch, from the inviting living space to the sumptuous bedroom. It's snug, but that's what makes it so cosy, and for a small space, it sure is packed with personal touches. Egyptian cotton sheets, electric fireplace, fluffy bathrobes, beach essentials, a welcome basket overflowing with breakfast items – your host has all the little details taken care of. As much as we adore the lovely kitchen, our favourite spot has to be the rustic courtyard. Dotted with olive trees and surrounded by leafy potted plants, it's the perfect place for morning coffees, alfresco dinners and evening tipples as the sun goes down. As far as locations go, this home is close to everything – it's only a ten-minute walk to Gyllyngvase Beach and five minutes to the restaurants, shops and pubs along the waterfront. While there's private parking on-site, you won't need the car for much. Don your comfiest shoes and set off on foot instead, exploring Falmouth's coastal walks, art galleries and cafes with ease.

We loved this home’s wooden deck – with stunning sea views, a dining table, barbecue, two loungers and Adirondacks facing the ocean, it’s fully equipped for time well-spent outside. Factor in that you’re less than a ten-minute walk from the beach and you have a real winner. Meander down the South West Coast Path to laidback Sennen Cove with its stretch of golden sand and tropical-blue water. Here Cornish fishermen brush shoulders with tousle-haired surfers. We recommend renting a board and catching a wave – there are two highly-rated surf schools in the area. When you return home, hit the outdoor shower and set your wetsuits to dry in the warm utility room before heading inside, where you’ll find it’s just as lovely as its surroundings – smart and minimal with touches of nautical chic. We especially love the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living area. Kick back on the sofas and play a board game or puzzle all together. Then gather around the light wood table for a feast before retiring to the bedrooms for some restful sleep, knowing there’s another beautiful seaside morning waiting for you when you awake.

If you’re looking for a bohemian escape in Cornwall, then look no further. This rustic hideaway is perfect for a solo traveller or a couple looking to get in touch with the raw beauty of the Cornish countryside and who care most about the luxuries of the soul – great music, fantastic light, the roar of the waves. This snazzy barn conversion has bucketloads of character and soulful perks, including a piano, a record player with a vast collection of vinyl, and its own mini sauna. Throw in the super-king sized bed, a brand new bathroom (with bathtub) and kitchen, its location (snuggled away in ancient woodland), the fact that it’s just a five-minute drive to the nearest pub and beach at Crackington Haven, and you’ve got a rural retreat you’ll want to keep quiet about, so you can keep it for yourself. 

Musician's Escape

Formerly a chapel, this exquisitely restored home is about as heavenly as they come. You'll find it peacefully perched on a residential street in Hayle, just a four-minute drive from the historic town centre and a five-minute drive from the beach. Spacious, light-filled and brimming with contemporary comforts, it's the perfect abode for families.

Inside, it's a timeless canvas of high ceilings and hardwood floors. Original features – including pewters, stained glass windows and, though purely decorative, an old church balcony – add bundles of charm while offering a glimpse into the building's storied past. Admire it all from the open-plan living space, snuggled up on the sofa, baking cookies in the fully-equipped kitchen or roosted at the dining table for a delicious home-cooked feast. Outside, the street-facing terrace offers an idyllic spot for sipping tea in the morning sun before a day of exploring.
 
Here, you're well-positioned to explore the gems of West Cornwall. The beautiful town of St Ives, with its surf-worthy waves and thriving art scene, is just a fifteen-minute drive away, or a few hours on foot if you fancy a scenic hike along the coast. Though, with Hayle's three miles of golden sand beaches practically on your doorstep, you've plenty of reasons to stick around and explore the local area.

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.

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.

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.

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

If you love the thought of drifting to sleep while gazing up at the stars, this dreamy cabin could be the holiday home for you. The cabin is tucked away in a lush garden in a romantic setting that will make you instantly forget any of the worries of day-to-day life. It’s a studio-style cabin with one wall entirely made of glass, blending the interior and exterior. A skylight above the bed means you’ll go to sleep each night staring straight up at the stars. 

The cabin is based just outside of Launceston in Cornwall, close to the border of Devon. It’s brilliantly located for outdoorsy adventures, whether you’re keen on surfing or prefer to explore the countryside on foot. Dartmoor National Park is twenty-seven minutes away by car, with its wealth of wonderful hikes and cycling trails. You might take a day-trip to St Isaac to paddle in the sea and eat fish and chips and ice cream at the shore – it takes forty-three minutes to drive there, and it’s well worth the trip. 

After a day of exploring Cornwall and its gems, you can look forward to sipping wine on the terrace. Perhaps you’ll cook dinner on the barbecue before enjoying a relaxing bubble bath in the beautiful copper tub. Or to take the romance to the next level, you might soak in the hot tub under the stars. It’s impossible to leave here feeling stressed out.

Our Cabin

This B&B suite in peaceful St. Kew is connected with the very best that North Cornwall has to offer. Here, you’re only a fifteen-minute drive from Polzeath Beach and twenty-five minutes from Tintagel Castle – the imposing keep that inspired the myth of King Arthur. Your 16th-century cottage also feels a little magical in its own way, from the gorgeous tree-shaded setting to the exposed timber beams inside the home. Just like in the days of yore, you’ll have homemade bread and preserves left out for your breakfast in the morning. After long country walks on sunny afternoons, the 15th-century St. Kew Inn next door serves up seasonal dishes, Cornish ales and weekly live folk music. And when it’s time to call it a night, fluffy dressing gowns and a dreamy king-size bed await.

Myth & Miracle

Situated looking out over the blue flag awarded Widemouth Bay, the charming holiday retreat showcases breath-taking panoramic views of the Cornish coastline. Brand new for 2023, this idyllic lodge and shepherd's hut offer a perfect blend of comfort, tranquility, and natural beauty.
The spacious open-plan living area is thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind and adorns traditional decor. The doors open onto your private deck, flooding the space with natural light and offering stunning views of the surrounding vistas.
Guests can make use of the well-equipped kitchen and all necessary amenities for preparing delicious meals. Dine alfresco on the beautiful deck, enjoy the evening sunset while using the BBQ or relax in the garden on outdoor seating.
The lodge accommodates two guests in a king size bedroom with an en suite shower room. The adjacent shepherd's hut can sleep two more guests in a king size bed with an en suite bathroom.
Located just a couple of miles from Bude, Widemouth Bay's wide expanse of open sand is perfect for exploring rock pools. This beach is also an ideal base for discovering North Cornwall, Devon coastline, and historic villages like Tintagel and Boscastle, rich in legends and folklore.

Idyllic Seaside Retreat

Free Parking On Street

Step into this achingly romantic wooden hut in St Kew, Cornwall, for a whirlwind getaway unlike any other. Decorated in an eclectic, bohemian style, you’ll want to fire up the stove and sink right into a pile of embroidered cushions with a mug of hot chocolate. You’ll also have your own private deck on which to drink tea with scones or enjoy hot Cornish pasties from the local bakery. The mezzanine bedroom area was made for sleeping to the sound of rain falling on the roof – just hope that it clears up quickly in the morning – or listening out for the call of a barn owl passing by. And the north Cornwall coast, with some of the country’s most beautiful beaches, is just a ten-minute drive away. Spend a day at charming Port Isaac, or hop on your bike to take on the Camel Trail – and don't forget to stop in at the country pub across the lane on your way home. 

A New Belonging

Free Parking

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.
