Cornwall

Cornwall, or Kernow as the locals know it, has always danced to the beat of its own drum. Perhaps that’s why our inspected and selected Cornish collection of special places are such a characterful and colourful bunch. From traditional stone cottages in North Cornwall to seaside-chic hotels in South Cornwall, there’s something here for romantic weekending couples, families with children of all ages, and anyone who wants to soak up the county’s stunning coastline, wild moors, foodie pubs and pretty fishing villages. Visit arty St Ives for the Tate and Barbara Hepworth Museum, historic Hayle for its turquoise waters and sandy bay, and lovely Looe for a Cornish cream tea (jam first, in case you were wondering).
