Maris Peer

Maris Peer: Cornwall

Just a five-minute walk from the centre of the village, this pretty cottage feels every bit the wonderfully rural Cornish retreat. As part of a set of converted farm buildings, this place has changed a lot since it was used to store seed potatoes back in the day.

A glossy modern kitchen, plump sofas, a velvet beanbag, and a rainfall shower are just some of the features that bring comfort and style to this rustic abode. We love the log burner in the lounge, the heart of the living space, where you can round up the family after a day out exploring the area. But for the ultimate in modern-day luxury, we suggest you take a long soak in the home's new hot tub, out in the lovely garden.

You'll be just minutes away from both the north and south Cornish coast by car, with Penzance, Marazion and the impressive St Michael's Mount all nearby.

*If you're staying here with the whole family, the host can provide a stair gate, travel cot, fire guard and high chair on request
