The Aviaries

Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life in this secluded, two-bedroom cottage just 3 miles from the Cornish coast. Friends and families can rest and recharge, taking countryside walks from the village or spending relaxing days on the sandy shores of some of Cornwall’s finest beaches.

In the evenings, pour a glass of wine and soak up the peaceful surroundings in your private garden. The characterful property is full of period features, including beautiful exposed beams and stonework.

The cosy lounge is warm and inviting, with a roaring wood burner and plump, leather sofas to sink into after a long walk. Create tasty dishes using local ingredients in the light and airy galley kitchen, to enjoy together around the table in the formal dining room.

A stylish shower room completes the ground floor. When day turns to night, head upstairs to one of the gorgeous, nautical-themed bedrooms.

Choose from a spacious double or a bright and welcoming twin. Outside, the charming, enclosed garden is arranged across two levels.

Enjoy al fresco gatherings around the table on the patio, or head up to the cute bistro set for a sundowner amongst the pretty flowers and shrubs. A visit to Port Isaac (5.5 miles) is a must during your stay.

This picturesque village of winding streets and whitewashed cottages is a paradise for photographers. After a wander, enjoy refreshments in one of the cute tearooms or cosy pubs.

There are also some stunning coastal walks branching away from the village. History enthusiasts will adore a trip to Tintagel Castle (6.5 miles), perched high on the clifftop.

Steeped in myth and legend, it’s one of Cornwall’s most atmospheric landmarks. Your nearest beach is Trebarwith Strand (3.5 miles), and you’ll also be within easy reach of the surfing hotspot of Polzeath (8.5 miles).
