A Slice of Hevva Cake

Fresh from an appearance in June 2021's issue of 25 Beautiful Homes magazine, this coastal Cornish home is more than ready to be the setting for a memorable holiday. Attention to detail can be seen in every corner of this home, with only natural products used for cleaning, and even the bed linens are made from 100% natural materials. The nautical-themed interior design is inescapably cosy, especially in the living room with the log-burning fireplace and a big bay window that looks out over Percuil River. If you want to see this gorgeous view a little closer, simply step outside onto the home's private terraces, which feature a swimming pool, loungers and a table for alfresco suppers - plus a private riverside beach. There's a ping-pong table and trampoline to keep youngsters entertained, but there's also an impressive four-monitor WFH set-up in case there are emails that can't wait. However, be sure to finish up as soon as possible, because there's so much to see and do in the local area, too. By request you can have someone take you out on the hosts' boat, moored at the home. Summers Beach is only four minutes' walk away, although there are plenty of other coastal destinations easily reachable in the car. The harbour town of St Mawes takes a few minutes to reach on foot and has delicatessens, restaurants and a castle waiting to be explored.

Home truths:
*There's space to park up to four cars at the property
*Fireplace guards and children's BPH-free plastic tableware, books and toys can be provided if required
*The pool has no guard and the Percuil River runs by the house, which is worth bearing in mind if you're bringing young children
