Surrounded on three sides by water, Cornwall is a craggy, charming peninsular full of character. On the north coast you will find particularly fine sandy beaches. Bude, Watergate Bay and Newquay are three that are popular.

There are dramatic cliff views notably at High Cliff between St.Gennys and Boscastle, where the rocks climb to an amazing 732 feet. You will find excellent surfing on this coast also. In contrast the Cornish Riviera in the south offers the much gentler prospect of secluded estuaries, quiet coves and small fishing villages.

All of Cornwall’s 300 beaches are linked by the South West Coast Path. Here you can experience some of the finest sea views in England, including the famous western-most point of Land’s End and the spectacular off-shore island of St. Michael’s Mount, a tiny slice of history. At low tide you can reach the island on foot. Cornwall’s distinctive tin mines, which are a World Heritage Site, are to the west.

Venturing inland, Bodmin Moor attracts walkers to crags and paths. The ruggedness of Bodmin Moor and its nearness to the lush Tamar Valley illustrates perfectly the diversity of Cornwall’s landscape. Liskeard is the gateway to the moor. It was once the centre of the mining industry and the town’s refined 19th century buildings indicate a prosperous past and are now home to some interesting craft and gift shops. On higher ground you will find ancient stones dedicated to long-ago kings of Cornwall. St.Cleer has a superb example of a holy well, and you will also come across pre-historic burial chambers – a reminder that this wild location has been inhabited by humans for 6000 years.

The famous Jamaica Inn is located at Bolventor. Immortalised in the book of the same name by Daphne du Maurier, it stands bleakly overlooking the highest hills in Cornwall, where there are just a few farmhouses dotting the landscape. Not far away at Temple a 12th century church can be found. This was originally built by the Knights Templers for pilgrims on their way to Ireland. This is just one of the many historical gems you will find in this area. The 150 square miles of moorland is a wonderful place for walking. The moor is an area of huge importance and as such has been granted World Heritage status (recognising the importance of tin mining which dates back over 4000 years). Additionally it has also been named an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a Site of Special Scientific Importance. After an exhilarating day exploring this fascinating area, what better way to spend the evening than in the luxury and comfort of your Luxury Holiday Cottages in Cornwall?

Padstow is another popular destination. This is a busy 15th century fishing port, full of stone and pastel cottages. The narrow cobbled streets lead down to a wonderful harbour; a great place to enjoy traditional fish and chips and to wander around the superb shops and art galleries. Also in this area is the village of St. Merryn, which has seven spectacular bays and surfing beaches.

I decided to try for myself by arranging a trip and staying in one of the most luxury cottages Cornwall has on offer, just so that I could pass on my experience to enable others to enjoy a memorable break. Firstly I arranged for a luxury limousine to take us the some 150 miles from where I live to the heart of Cornwall just to make this trip something I would remember for many years and also to show you just what one can expect.

Then I arranged my accommodation but this was to be the hardest decision to make, there were so many luxury cottages Cornwall to choose from. Ranging from picturesque inland country cottages to spectacular beach and boutique cottages and varying in price according to location and the standard of extravagance. I decided that a beach side location was in my opinion added luxury as there can be nowhere better to be than beside the sea in one of the luxury cottages Cornwall has.

As there were so many luxury cottages Cornwall to chose from I was left with three to which I had to make a final decision.

The first was a 5 star luxury cottages Cornwall, a coastal cottage located in a secluded position overlooking one of the most staggering views there are, near to the village of Trebarwith Strand, North Cornwall, close to Tintagel and Boscastle.

The second luxury cottages Cornwall has to offer is another truly amazing cottage in Coverack a small unspoilt fishing village near to Helston.

It is also not far from Cornwall’s Lizard Peninsular so somewhere to visit with plenty to do and see.
