Trewethan Barn, Tintagel
Lovingly renovated to exceptional standards, Trewethan Barn has been transformed into a stylish and spectacular property, offering spacious comfort with a craftsman’s eye for detail. Offering an enclosed garden with lawns and a large barbeque hut – seating 12 – it’s a great year-round venue.
The paved terrace outside the kitchen is just the ticket for a spot of al fresco dining, including a place to relax and soak up the sun. Even during the winter, you’ll find everything you need to snuggle down and get cosy. In the kitchen there’s underfloor heating and all the appliances needed to cook up a Cornish storm, including a gorgeous range cooker, while in the lounge, a log-burning stove and cushy ‘L’ sofa are a real treat after a day spent on the windswept cliffs of Tintagel.
Tintagel is just a two-minute drive away and has much to offer, including the historic King Arthur’s castle, which perches atop dramatic cliffs. The wider South West Coast Path will take you to hidden beaches, waterfalls and other beautiful sites, offering endless days of coastal walks, perfect for those who like to lace up their boots and explore. Sleeping eight across four bedrooms, including a master with an en-suite shower room, if you’re looking for a Cornish escape to enjoy with friends or extended family, this could well be the stay for you!

Polly’s Bower, Landrake
A little slice of heaven, Polly’s Bower (ref. 969450) is a luxurious, dog-friendly retreat for couples set in beautiful rolling Cornish countryside, with sensational far-reaching views and an elegant outdoor heated pool.
A unique property, this exquisite 300 year old apple-crushing barn conversion is situated in south-east Cornwall, between the villages of Landrake and Tideford, near the city of Plymouth. It occupies a tranquil location, tucked away amid a patchwork of fields and wooded valleys, yet a stone’s throw from the Tamar Valley and Cornwall’s incredible beaches and coastline.
Enter the spacious open-plan living room and discover a tasteful blend of modern and rustic. Oak wood floors, exposed beams and modern art adds to the comfort, elegance and style. The kitchen is well equipped with gadgets, including a coffee machine. Romantics can enjoy candlelit dinners at the dining table or on the south-facing patio during the warmer months, to watch the sun set.
Bring the dog and enjoy endless amounts of stunning walks, followed by an evening spent cosied up in front of the log burner. Polly’s Bower is the dream couple’s getaway for any time of year.
