Luxury wilderness cottages in Cornwall
If you go down to the woods today you're in for a big surprise. Where bleating sheep and burbling hot tubs are the only hubbubs to break the silence, our luxury wilderness cottages in Cornwall are a breath of fresh air.
Evenings in the wilderness: between cups of tea and bites of oatcakes, you'll balance on the sofa’s edge to remove Jenga blocks in the lull of a late-night radio show. Later, you'll dash between the hot tub and deck chair, wrapped by the salty air, and be glad you escaped from the city. Including manors, farmer’s cottages and cosy cabins, our luxury wilderness cottages in Cornwall pack a paradisiacal punch. These are places that carefully balance the great outdoors with the great indoors; meaning, there are swimming pools in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, yoga decks over Whitsand Bay, and forest-clad, dewy meadows straight out of a fairytale.
Taking a break from urban living may well calm the mind and the soul, but its greatest accolade is how it helps us return to our most wholesome selves. Hike up the high cliffs in Bude with your city-fatigued dogs, take the children dune climbing in Holywell Bay, or gather in the garden to char corn cobs on the barbecue. Now's the time to assemble your coterie and make for the wilds, trying a slice of expeditionary life on home soil. These cosy private homes are made for storytelling by the fire pit, morning coffee among 20,000 books, and Cornish Yarg, crackers, and bubbles over crystal waters. Solitude is beckoning; how far will you go for your wilderness escape?
