Don’t let its location between Looe and Liskeard fool you – this charming barn conversion is the cosy, rural escape you’ve been dreaming of. The cottage has everything you need for a peaceful, pleasant stay with no stresses. The fireplace will keep you warm, and the deep soaking tub in the bathroom will float your worries away.

The deep soaking tub, the tranquil garden, the cosy fireplace – all you’ll need for a perfect stay in the Spring Water Barn is a perfect cup of tea, which is available at the on-site cafe.

Whether that’s for a dip in the swimming pool, lunch in the garden or a stroll around the stunning landscape is up to you.

You’ll reel in the relaxation you’ve longed for at Fisherman’s Cottage. This holiday rental in Falmouth is across the street from the Penryn River and a short walk to the ferry, beach and marina. You can dine on fresh seafood at the waterside restaurants or cook your own fresh catch in your kitchen. If you’re looking for conversation and camaraderie, try some fish and chips over a pint at the pub.

Hoping to hit the links on your holiday? This beachy apartment will tee you up for an ace of a stay.

Been itching to get away? Itchingstone Cottage is a worthy retreat. This cosy cottage is the getaway you’ve been looking for, though the complimentary wifi and flat-screen TV will keep you tethered to society. The luxury cottage is outfitted from wall to wall with everything you need: instant coffee and fresh teabags, a full kitchen and a relaxing den with a wood-burning fireplace. You’re only 15 minutes from Tintagel Castle here, too.

You’ll have no trouble settling into these Falmouth self-catering two- and three-bedroom lodges, but you may have difficulty choosing exactly how you’ll relax.

Enjoy your holiday rental to the max with a massage at the spa.

This one-bedroom St Austell holiday home is pet-friendly and sleeps seven. Pack up a few snacks from the kitchen, lace up your hiking boots, give the leash a little length and head off.

Call the Bonython Estate your home for the week at this luxury holiday cottage. A kitchen, separate dining area and living room with fireplace are just the creature comforts you need for a laid-back stay. Popular points of interest such as St Michael’s Mount, Lizard Point and Mullion Cove are just a short drive away. Comfortable sunloungers are even closer, in the sun-kissed garden just outside your cottage door.

The historic parish of Bodmin is near enough smack-bang in the middle of Cornwall, surrounded by rivers, hills and woodland. Just a little bit further into that wild space is Waterside, a collection of eco-lodges that wouldn’t look out of place in Costa Rica. Each cabin sleeps between four and eight, and each one features a log-burning fire, a soaking tub in the master and a big kitchen. The small lake from which the site gets its name is a perfect place to relax, and the spot also boasts an indoor pool, a sauna, a fitness centre, a footgolf course and a concierge desk.
