One of five houses on a 23-acre estate with a working smallholding, Nanplough Country House is the epitome of relaxation. Mornings start with a refreshing dip in the shared outdoor heated swimming pool before catching some Cornish rays on the patio, while kids go wild in the outdoor play area and meet the farm's resident livestock. Picnic areas provide the perfect spot to savour a basket of scones, clotted cream and jam, while a myriad of walking trails provide the opportunity to burn off the calories afterwards.
Comfortable and contemporary, the interiors are elegantly decorated in soothing tones with great attention to detail. Expect exposed stone walls, wooden beams and feature windows boasting mesmerising views. As dusk falls, gather around the flickering flames of the wood burner or indulge in a glass of fizz in the master bedroom's free-standing bath, watching the sun melt into the countryside.
Located on the spectacular Lizard Peninsula, the immediate area is steeped in maritime and smuggling history and is renowned for having one of the best climates in England. Head towards the coast and visit the picture-postcard coves of Mullion (4 miles) and Poldhu (1 mile). Enjoy a fish supper in the quaint fishing village of Porthleven, then wander along the scenic South West Coast Path as the evening draws in. Other iconic attractions nearby include the National Seal Sanctuary (5 miles), Tate Gallery at St Ives (20.5 miles), The Minack Theatre (28 miles) and Pendennis Castle (19 miles).
