Kindred Souls

Kindred Souls: Cornwall

As one of a few cottages that comprise Boconnoc's Stable Yard, Kindred Souls has the privilege of peace and quiet, as well as unlimited access to the estate's tennis court and games room. The nearby holiday destination of Lostwithiel is only four miles away and offers a few brilliant places to eat, but you'll also be staying quite near to the Eden Project and the seaside wonders of Fowey. While the outside of this cottage is pleasantly traditional, the insides are bold and stylish. There are plenty of vivid colours, soft forniture that you can melt into after a long day of exploring, and a lovely wood-burning stove. If you want to focus on relaxation, not household chores, you can get fresh seasonal produce delivered from the garden kitchen and even book a private chef to whip up something magical with them. The host also offers regular cleaning and a little bird told us that there will be a little Cornish present waiting for you on arrival.

Home truths:
* There are stairs in this home, making it unsuitable for wheelchair users
* You'll need a car to get around Cornwall — the public transport isn't very frequent
* The house rules are quite strict — no smoking anywhere on the premises and no noise at night
* You'll need to go through the twin bedroom to access the upstairs bathroom
