Sandy beaches are a short stroll from the house and there are some stunning coastal walks on your doorstep too. The Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, Lanhydrock and the breathtakingly beautiful Bodmin moor are all nearby, not to mention the sun, sea and surf that characterise Cornwall and make it the ideal place for holidaying in England.
