Cornwall

White-painted beams, wonky white walls and parking (oh joy!) - an exquisite St Ives retreat near harbour and subtropical gardens

Two spruce spaces for couples in peaceful Cornish countryside; it’s an easy drive to gardens, both coastlines and good eateries

In a profoundly peaceful spot between arty St Ives and stunning Marazion, a hideaway for two surrounded by gardens and parkland

Two cosily converted cottages each sleeping two, tucked in peaceful woodland with breathtaking views across the Tamar. Short walk to the pub

This wooden garden house, cosy and warmed by a wood-burner is a romantic place, surrounded by a bird-filled garden and near a superb pub

On the outskirts of Marazion this timber clad house perched above the sea is a super pad for romantic couples

A few minutes' walk to the beach, a coastal stroll to Penzance - a sunny stylish Victorian cottage with blissful views and a spa bath for 2

A beautiful villa, 3 nautical-chic cottages, a sea cabin and a studio a stroll from sandy beaches in Charlestown. Faultless finds!

Pretty, thatched, perfectly round: a romantic village bolthole with retro touches. Grab flip-flops, leads and run the dogs on Pendower beach

A stylish little nest for two with delicious breakfast delivered if you want. Salty air, ships and plenty of good restaurants on the quay

Down narrow country lanes find a sweet little ground floor studio surrounded by lush gardens and with the use of an outdoor heated pool

A sweet little bolthole for two (and a babe-in-arms) with an outdoor pool, pretty garden and orchard on Treworgey Estate. Dog friendly too

Green and serene, a striking array of eco cottages on a family farm where style and comfort reign, close to the coast but far from the crowd

You're on an ancient packhorse trail just a stone's throw from the coast. There's a timeless feel to this place and the peace is deep
