Cornwall, a land of fairytales and natural beauty, continues to offer the best to holidaymakers. For centuries, Britains and travellers alike have journeyed to Cornwall's pristine coastline and verdant hills in search of a peace not found in modern city life. Whether in search of sun and sport or a simple country escape, nothing opens the door to the hidden delights of this ancient region like the timeless cottages in Cornwall.
For history buffs and lovers of architecture, the whitewashed stone and time-faded slate of the older shops and cottages will send you to daydreaming of times gone by. For the modernists, timber-constructed updated cottages make the most of hillside views and sparkling sunsets.
Cornwall, itself, is a land rich in history and wonder. Often cited as the true land where Camelot once stood, archaeologists and historians have ongoing digs throughout the region and often invite the public in for viewings of discovered relics and exciting re-enactments of jousts and medieval celebrations.
Lying in the southernmost tip of England, Cornwall offers a climate unparalleled in the United Kingdom. If sun and sea are what you're looking for, Cornwall boasts hundreds of public and private beaches well known for sports and fun such as sailing and surfing.
Perhaps the most prized offerings Cornwall has are its ancient villages, the winding streets walked upon for centuries, the cobbled beauty of buildings that have stood the test of time and ruins of those which haven't. To have all the Cornish attractions on your doorstep, even if only for a weeklong cottage holiday, is a break from life that we all deserve.
If the daily routine and workload of everyday life is beginning to sharpen your edges, a journey back in time, a stay in a hilltop escape, a visit to a coastline steeped in history and laced in nature, is sure to smooth you out to rights, once more.
