Portreath (4.5mls S), Cornwall, self catering

Contemporary holiday accommodation awaits on this lovely stretch of Cornish farmland, complete with grazing livestock in way of friendly neighbours. Benefiting from an off-the-beaten-track location yet just 1 mile from lovely Camborne, a stay here offers you the chance to really get stuck into easy-going life in one of Cornwall’s lovely beauty spots. Trips to the beach are always assured, just jump in the car to find Gwithian and Hayle beaches around 7 miles away.

Whatever activities may fill your day, this single-storey property promises a wonderful base in which four guests can stay together – you can even bring along one dog to make your holiday complete! Boasting a spacious feel and light flooding in, this two-bedroom property will always feel like an optimistic and inviting place to stay. Enter via French doors and make yourselves at home in the open-plan living space.

This L-shaped room is complete with a kitchen, lounge and diner, offering more than enough space for four to settle in. Relaxed seating is positioned around an electric fire and a Smart TV, ideal for catching up on movies that you want to watch but never seem to have time for. When it’s time for bed, both two king-size bedrooms await.

One bedroom offers a zip-and-link bed to be made up as a twin where needed. Once you’ve met the animals on the farm and spent time in your enclosed garden, set out to discover adventure further afield. The Penwith Heritage Coast is less than 12 miles away, complete with an abundance of walking opportunities to be jumped at.

Be sure to factor in time for a trip to Land’s End (23.5 miles) and the chance to view the Isles of Scilly and beyond, perhaps then following a South West Coastal Path route along to further seafront beauty spots hugging the coastline.
