Escape to the country and hunker down in this beautifully restored old English farmhouse tucked away in the Cornish countryside. Heading down the quiet lane, the Atlantic blue springs into view across the rolling fields as you pull into the driveway. The beaches, bars and bistros of Bude are only a ten-minute drive away, but this home is a real retreat. Parts of the property date back to the sixteenth century, and although it’s been lovingly restored, the traditional charm still shines through in the wood burners, range oven and exposed beams. It’s calm and cosy, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and find a quiet corner of their own. While the kids let off steam in the large shared gardens, enjoy breakfast to the sound of birdsong in the sun-trap courtyard. Curl up with a book on a window seat with sea views, or pile into the car for a family day out to Sandymouth Beach. When evening rolls around, it’s time to snuggle up in an armchair by the fire, hot chocolate in hand, and dream about doing it all over again tomorrow.
