Glowing Up

Glowing Up: Cornwall

Neatly tucked away on a quiet country lane, this former cowshed has been beautifully converted into a comfortable family getaway. A bright and breezy kitchen-diner is the heart of the home, where suppers are devoured and the day’s anecdotes are shared over a bottle of wine. Bifold doors reveal a sun trap patio, complete with barbecue and seating area – it’s the perfect spot for an ice-cold drink on balmy afternoons. When the time’s right, grab the beach gear from the shed and hotfoot it down to the idyllic Holywell Bay – it’ll take you twenty-five minutes if you’re walking but just five in the car. And if you’re in the mood for a little more action, the vibrant seaside town of Newquay is a ten-minute drive away. After sand castle building and bodyboarding, retreat to your cosy pad for a cup of tea and well-deserved biscuit or two in front of the crackling wood-burning stove.
