Pet friendly cottage, sleeps 2 - Marazion (1ml NE), Cornwall

Couples looking for a rural getaway, away from the hubbub of day-to-life life, would be hard-pushed to find anywhere as peaceful as Riverside. The modern apartment, found in an attractive Cornish farmhouse, is surrounded by gorgeous farmland and an array of walking routes, meaning strolls hand-in-hand with your loved one are certainly on the agenda. The spacious interior is classic-cum-contemporary, with open plan cosy living quarters leading directly on to the modernised kitchen.

Flashes of wood throughout the property lend themselves to a traditional farmhouse feel, while the warm and enticing double bedroom has garden views that will have your soul smiling at the drawing of curtains. Set in the heart of West Cornwall's old tin mining region, you'll be just 1 mile from the beautiful coastal village of Marazion, its pubs, galleries and iconic landmark St Michael's Mount. Make sure you pack your comfy shoes as there are plenty of walks on the doorstep, including many country trails and the South West Coast Path, which runs along the Cornish coast.

Should you wish to explore further, jump in the car for 7 miles to reach Hayle's three-mile-long sandy beach, perfect for surfers, or head 10 miles north to St Ives for a spot of retail therapy.
