Posh Cornish Cottages - The Wishbone

It’s a well-organised space with the bedroom part separated from the rest by plastered panels and wooden beams; close couples will happily hunker down here in front of the pot-bellied wood-burner on a rainy day. In summer you’ll be out on the part-covered deck with its wooden rocking chairs, cosy woollen throws and hot tub down a few steps. Your views are over a pretty garden but you’re welcome to wander the wildflower meadow and discover the pond – teeming with wildlife.

The kitchen is shiny and spotless, perfect for meals for two and the welcome hamper is generously supplied with good local things. You can ask for a home chef service if you’d rather not cook.

Wander along the canal tow path nearly all the way to Bude – it takes about an hour and you may spot sparrow hawks, finches and chiffchaffs. Swim, body board, paddle board, kayak or picnic, there’s lots to do.
