Come for the wonderfully quiet Rame peninsula, one of the most overlooked parts of Cornwall. Freathy is a small settlement of chalets on the cliffs just above its own unspoilt beach, which you have to walk down to and has no public car park – which means it is mercifully quiet even on a hot sunny day. There’s a beach hut feel inside because you can see the sea from the front windows and the colours are jaunty.

On chillier days you can light the wood-burner and watch the weather from a warm place, perhaps with a good book, or cooking. The nifty kitchen is separated by a breakfast bar which is where you eat if you can’t eat outdoors. You’ll find a barbecue and an outside sauna on the west-facing decking where you can watch wonderful sunsets and stargaze on clear nights.

Small bedrooms have little room for storage but beds are comfortable and there’s a lovely bathroom with bath and shower. There’s a shared play area for children.
