Take some time out from it all with a little seclusion, peace and tranquillity. Escape to somewhere off the beaten track and enjoy quality time alone, as a couple or with a group of loved ones.
We’ve rounded up some of our best rural cottages in Cornwall to be your safe haven for a few days so you can take a break from the every day somewhere special.
Tuck yourself away in a rural setting, be it a barn conversion in the countryside, a petite retreat, a mansion on a vast estate, a cottage on a working farm, or a spectacular castle by the water. While some are truly rural, we’ve also got cottages that feel and look remote, but are actually only a short walk to the nearest pub or friendly village.
We’ve delicately handpicked some of our favourite rural holiday cottages in Cornwall for your next great escape.
