Starry Soak

Starry Soak: Cornwall

Set in the heart of the Cornish countryside, this studio apartment has everything you need for some quality time away, whether that be with a partner or even a little time alone. Formerly part of a hotel, the plot has been restyled into a homely space, with a comfy king-size bed at the centrepiece of the room. We think there's somewhat of a Scandi-style interior here, with plain bedspreads, all-white walls and pale wood furnishings. There's also a convenient kitchenette for preparing breakfast and quick lunches, but it's less than a ten-minute drive into some of Cornwall's prettiest villages and some great food. Order the catch of the day at one of the seafood restaurants in Looe, or wander around Polperro's narrow cobbled streets until you come across a traditional pub. Sandy beaches and clear waters are also a short five-minute drive from home. The two beaches at nearby Talland are lovely for paddling or rock pooling. Further afield, Lantic Bay is only accessible by foot, meaning fewer crowds. For the ultimate relaxation, it's back home for a glass of champagne and an alfresco bath under the stars.

Home truths:
*As this is a studio apartment, the bedroom is part of the living space
*There's no dining table, sofa or lounge seating area at this home
*While there is a small kitchenette, we recommend driving to one of the nearby towns for dinner
*You will need a car for exploring and getting around this semi-remote location – there is parking space for up to two cars on the driveway
*The parking spaces are alongside the building, so to offload you can pull up to the bottom of the path
