What happens when the crowds go home?  Cornwall offers up some of her best kept secrets.

Discover what Cornwall is like when the summer crowds have gone home. With a milder climate, spring and autumn in Cornwall offer up truly viable holidaying opportunities.
Take a stroll on the almost deserted beaches or experience the thrill of the winter waves crashing on the sands. Cosy up in one of our warm farm cottages after a brisk walk along the coastal path, accessible from your front door.

Feeling more adventurous? Take a day trip to local fishing villages, Looe and Polperro or venture further afield to popular attractions without having to queue, as more and more attractions are now staying open throughout the year.

When it’s dark, it’s really dark

Sit outside your cottage on a clear night and experience wide, open skies and more stars than you have probably seen in your lifetime. We are deep in the Cornish countryside and far away from any towns or cities, and so we suffer very little light pollution. Why not bring your binoculars or telescope to enhance your experience. Our cottages are the perfect place to visit out of season to enjoy crisp, clear starry nights.
