Keen for a lavish romantic holiday in Cornwall? This peaceful retreat in Lamorna Cove should tick all your boxes. It’s supremely decorated in a fancy rustic style and has luxury additions, such as an external hot tub, to ensure you leave feeling fully rejuvenated. The accommodation is nestled on a hillside above the sea, boasting awe-inspiring sea views. Nearby (3 miles), you can swim or scuba dive at Lamorna Cove and plan fun-packed days out to Penzance (4.5 miles) or St Michael’s Mount (9.5 miles).
Blending ornate Victorian style with modern creature comforts, this couple’s retreat is a magical place to kick back for a few days. In the lounge area, open up the French windows to reveal fantastic sea views, then sink into the plush Italian sofa to read a couple of chapters of your book. A vaulted ceiling and original wooden beams add to the traditional charm here. There’s a wood burner for getting all cosy in the evenings and a Smart TV for if you fancy some easy entertainment. Be sure to admire the bespoke statement furniture, including the carved wooden bed and rolltop bath that’s great for soaking your limbs after long walks. Outside, admire your unique surroundings in the enclosed lawned garden with a glass of something yummy to hand.
The cottage is just 300 metres from the sea as the crow flies, though you’ll need to travel 2.5 miles to get there by car or on foot. At Lamorna Cove (2.5 miles), join the South West Coast Path for spectacular walks of any length you choose – why not pack a treat-filled picnic and head along to the fishing village of Mousehole (3 miles)? There’s a pretty circular route taking in granite quarries and clifftop farms, with exceptional views all the way. Land’s End (8.5 miles) is a wonderful destination for a coastal day out, while inland, we recommend visiting historical sites like The Merry Maidens Stone Circle (4 miles) and Trengwainton Garden (6 miles).
