With the chance that there may be snow this weekend... I have been sitting here dreaming of holidays, and summer adventures.
Last year we travelled down to the very tip of Cornwall and had the most glorious week of beach fun and National Trust visiting. We fell in love with Cornwall that week... locked forever in our hearts.
So this year I am thinking I would love to go back. I have been looking at several places to visit, we must return to Eden... it is such an inspiring place and perfect for young children to explore. Last time we went (two years ago) we discovered a willow maze which was so over grown the tunnels felt like little hideaways lost in a foreign land... we could have been in the jungle somewhere far away.
Last year we stumbled upon the Helford River when we visited Glendurgan Gardens. We wound our way down through lush tropical ferns and landed on this beautiful little beach (pictured above). There we ate ice creams and skimmed stones on the glassy water. It was bliss - apart from the long walk back up the valley!
I would love to go back to that pretty little place. I have been looking into accommodation closer to that area and have discovered this most stunningly beautiful cottage - sleeps 8 and is within walking distance of the River. It is high on my wish list... I am hoping that we can take my parents with us. So a large property with several bathrooms is a must. And one that has a little bit of luxury too!
So yes... dreaming.
I need to sell a lot of my prints to get us there... but I am sure I have time.
It is only January after all!

Get selling missy! That place looks amamzing.
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend Forever Cornwall Lou, they are just a lovely company and we've stayed with them twice now - remember the beach hut holiday you admired? Hope your dreams come true - Emma

Have put that in my holiday wish list file, looks amazing, also love Cornwall and have been many times, last year it was very wet and my husband doesnt want to risk it again! Anyway just booked for Easter in North Devon which will be hopefully just as lovely.
ReplyDeleteI commented earlier from my phone, but I don't think it worked!
ReplyDeleteThat barn looks incredible! We are doing something similar this year- ducking camping for our main holiday and renting a cottage with my dad and his partner near Tenby in Pembrokshire. None of us have been to that part of the world before, so it will be an adventure! It looks just as pretty as cornwall and we are hoping to see grey seals and puffins!

Wow, lovely cottage - hope you get to have your holiday there. As I am on maternity leave, we will be embracing the staycation this year!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely calm photo!
ReplyDeleteLooks perfect!

Cornwall is one of my most favourite places in the UK to visit- I used to go there on family holidays all the time when I was little, and then I just about landed my dream job looking after lots of hotels in Cornwall so I used to go down there once a month on business. It is beautiful and such a wonderful place to take children. We are going on holiday to Scarborough this year.
