Stunning coastal views at The Nare Hotel è RIGHT An idyllic retreat on the Helford with Forever Cornwall

 MAIN Incredible views of the estuary and out to sea at Fowey Harbour Hotel

here’s an incredible array of luxurious accommodation in ornwall. owever a fir believer that luxury lies not only in the indulgent beauty of your hotel room, or your wonderfully unique holiday home; it also lies in the stunning locations that staying in these places allows you to access. Cornwall’s south coast is renowned for its fair weather, tranquil coves and world-class sailing waters. As far as visiting the south coast goes, the Roseland peninsula offers an unspoilt rural landscape with stunning gardens, mysterious creeks, pretty coastal villages, medieval castles and historic churches. The Nare Hotel (narehotel.co.uk) couldn’t be better positioned to enjoy the beauty of the Roseland peninsula. Recently awarded AA five star status w en discussin the hotel’s most impressive features, Marketing Manager Jamie Moore tells us: e are s location is definitely its ost impressive feature – situated in a secluded bay with stunning sea views and a beautiful sandy beach, it is a genuine sanctuary away from the madding crowds.” If you’re after a more lively atmosphere, Falmouth is a brilliant location from which to explore the delights of the area. The coastal town has an exceptional variety of bars and restaurants and is famed for having the third largest natural harbour in the world, with everything from navy ships to super yachts seeking respite from ocean crossings here. Overlooking Falmouth Bay, The Falmouth Hotel (falmouthhotel.co.uk) is just metres from the clear snorkelling waters and reef at Castle beach and with Gyllyngvase beach around the corner, the grand hotel is in a prime position to enjoy the delights of Falmouth.

If you prefer the sound of a secluded cottage, Forever Cornwall’s (forevercornwall.co.uk) property, Little Wood on the Helford is located on the opposite side of the Helford river to Falmouth and is the perfect base from which to explore the wild beauty of Cornwall’s Lizard peninsula. The property sleeps six and features tempting views through the trees with glimpses of the Helford river beyond. It’s also just a two minute stroll from the fabulous food, drink and atmosphere of the Shipwrights Arms by the river. Read more from Forever Cornwall on page 25.

THE LIZARD Another stunning hotel on the Lizard is Polurrian on the Lizard (polurrianhotel. com). Situated above Polurrian cove, it features uninterrupted ocean views and an indulgent spa.

Or, for a hotel stay on the Lizard peninsula, Housel Bay Hotel (houselbay.com) is perched on nature’s edge above the secluded and beautiful Housel Bay. When discussing the draws of the hotel, Marketing Manager Phoebe says: “When you arrive at Housel Bay, you are welcomed by peace and tranquillity. Our secluded location allows guests to completely relax and unwind. We are a place to take a pause, breathe in the fresh sea air, and to immerse yourself back with nature. Providing the perfect tranquil retreat from the rest of the world.” Land’s End, on Cornwall's other peninsula, is located on the west coast near Penzance and the Penwith Heritage coast. This is a beautiful corner of Cornwall to explore, steeped in myth and legend; Penzance overlooks Mount’s Bay and St Michael’s Mount, a breathtaking tidal island. Marazion affords some of the most exceptional views of Mount’s Bay and Forever Cornwall’s property, The View, does as its name

suggests and capitalises on the incredible panoramas. Sleeping 11, The View is perfect for two families or big groups, with six spacious bedrooms and two generous living areas to socialise in, plus unbeatable views across Mount’s Bay to St Michael’s Mount. One guest has said of their experience: “It had everything we needed to enjoy the holiday and enhance our experience. This is our third time in Cornwall and it’s by far the best place we have stayed in. I would highly recommend this house to anyone, the location is fantastic and the views are nothing short of incredible.” From Penzance it’s possible to get the Scillonian III ferry over to the Isles of Scilly where the glorious Karma St Martin’s resort awaits, providing the epitome of island luxury just a stone’s throw from the beach and a world apart from everyday life (karmagroup.com). One visitor says of their stay: “The resort sits unobtrusively just feet from the water’s edge – an unbeatable location from which to enjoy the native beauty of the Isles of Scilly.”

Sink into your very own hot tub after a day of exploring

Back on the mainland, St Just is located to the north of Penzance and allows you to access the wild-untamed beauty of the Penwith Heritage Coast. Helpful Holidays (helpfulholidays.co.uk) have some great properties here; one that caught my eye in particular is See Two Seas, a fabulous barn conversion situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that overlooks Cape Cornwall. “See Two Seas is more than just a home from home,” says one review. “It also brought a luxury and celebratory element to our stay. Lorna and Harvey have thought of everything! Robes, reusable coffee cups, wellies – every need is catered for. Its decor is further complemented by the idyllic location, allowing you to explore the coastal paths before a dip in the hot tub.”

Then you have St Ives, a destination hotspot for art, ocean and surf lovers. The Harbour Hotel Group has a gorgeous hotel located in prime position next to St Ives harbour; it also has hotels in Padstow and Fowey that capitalise on these exceptional coastal locations, all featuring stunning water views and sophisticated rooms. Regional Manager, Paula Dupuy, says of the St Ives hotel: “St Ives Harbour Hotel and Spa offers the idyllic Cornish seaside getaway.

Drone photography sells more than just the property è RIGHT

A lifestyle caught in a photograph

ounded by Martyn Rohrs and Matthew Rowe in 2016, the Rohrs & Rowe ethos is simple – not all estate agents are the same. Their vision and aim for the company was to offer a better way to do business, to provide state-of-the-art marketing, a dynamic online presence that combined with targeted advertising in high quality printed publications and meticulous levels of personal service. After three full years in business, they certainly appear to have achieved their objective, after twice being awarded ‘Best Estate Agency’ in Cornwall by the coveted International Property Awards, and last year also being voted in the top three estate agencies in the entire UK! Between them, Martyn and Matthew have more than 45 years of industry expertise to draw from, after working for some of the country’s best known premium estate agents. They also have a wealth of local knowledge, having both grown up in Cornwall, but each having spent part of their careers working in London, Surrey and the wider Home Counties, meaning they understand the lives of both their clients and buyers. This wealth of experience means they also know the most

advantageous way to present a property in order to achieve the right results. “We felt that creating an exclusive advertising arrangement for this special London edition of Cornwall Living, where we are the only estate agents to feature in the magazine, was the perfect addition for us to gain further access to some of London and the Home Counties’ ost a uent areas in or s artyn. at ew states: “We have our sights constantly trained on targeting an audience of the best buyers and

t en puttin ornwall s finest o es in ront of them. This enables us to add value to the property and create sales at a faster rate than our co petitors. Just a glance through the Rohrs & Rowe website is enough to see the professionalism of photography that goes into every new instruction. From magazine worthy interior photographs, to staggering aerial panoramas taken by drone, by using only the most aspirational professional photography, Rohrs & Rowe are able to showcase literally everything a property has to offer, both within and beyond its grounds. Here in Cornwall, the latter is often enough to clinch a sale! Indeed, one happy client’s testimonial praises “the exceptional photography and marketing that Rohrs & Rowe used to s owcase our property e p asisin how they were able to “secure a sale within one week o our ouse ein on t e arket . Another happy client explains how they “felt reassured that we would be very well looked a ter confir in t at o rs owe did not disappoint de onstratin a very ood understandin o t e property arket and ac ievin a sale at a very satis actory price . Of course, photography alone isn’t always enough to sell a property, which is why, as a buyer or seller, you can also expect a tailored and personable service throughout the process. If you’re unaware of a location, Rohrs & Rowe will know the best places to buy – along with those that are the more ‘up and coming’. They even produce video area guides for inspiration! So, depending on what it is you’re looking for, they will always point you in the right direction. The same can be said for your individual requirements from the property itself. Perhaps you’re tired of the city rush and want to trade it in for the calm quietude of life by the sea; maybe you’ve taken the decision to invest in a second home here, to enjoy yourself and then let out when you’re not using it. Now

more than ever, Brits are choosing to holiday on o e soil rat er t an y a road and wit Cornish transport links to the rest of the UK seein si nificant i prove ent in recent years the ‘staycation’ trend is only set to grow. There are a number of other reasons for this, but for anyone interested, it ultimately means that a home by the sea is a worthy investment indeed, one that Rohrs & Rowe are fully equipped to help you make. Whatever the reason behind your search, chances are, Matthew and Martyn have a property to suit your criteria. Even if you can t find w at you re lookin or online they often know of properties being sold off market, so if you’re serious about buying your dream Cornish home and want to put yourself in pole position to find it it s well wort introducing yourself. Formidable in their approach to marketing and scooping numerous awards, whether you’re buying or selling, where better to start than with contacting Rohrs & Rowe?

onstructed early in the 19th century, Hendra is a beautiful former farmhouse located in the picturesque parish of St Kew, near to Cornwall’s north coast and the bustling market town of Wadebridge. Hendra has recently been renovated to an extremely high standard, providing the ideal combination of modernity coupled with the traditional beauty of a listed building. As well as having excellent family sized accommodation, it also offers considerable exi ility as it provides t e current owners wit a good income from two holiday letting elements – a detached two-bedroom holiday cottage (Little Hendra) located within the grounds as well as a spacious annexe (Pippins), which can e confi ured as a sel contained annexe or incorporated back into the main house layout, without changing the structure of the house. The heart of the home at Hendra has got to be the gorgeous farmhouse kitchen with an adjoining dining room, creating an open space perfect for entertaining and enjoying time together as a family. Outside, the garden catches the afternoon and evening sunshine and has an attractive lawn, bordered by a gravelled pathway and raised beds. There’s also a sizeable grass paddock, a large parking area in front of the detached double garage and modern outbuilding that is currently used as a gym. The stunning layout and mesmerising location of this property has got to be seen to be believed and we highly recommend organising a viewing to fully appreciate what Hendra has to offer.

S t A ustell P enz ance

Situated in prime position to enjoy the best of both coasts, on the edge of Cardhinam Woods, is this gorgeous courtyard of converted 19th century barns.

ocated at the end of a long driveway that provides a great sense of seclusion and privacy, this stunning collection of barn conversions enjoys six private acres of woodland, paddocks and gardens, whilst the exteriors of the properties retain much of their original charm and character. Inside, the interiors boast sleek and stylish, contemporary designs from the experts at Iroka. There are three properties in total: Mill Barn sleeps up to eight, Callywith sleeps four, and The Snug sleeps two. Each is perfectly self-contained with dedicated gardens and outdoor seating areas, and all are linked by an expansive lawned courtyard. A likely first impression is that Cardinham Barns would provide an excellent home with income, and you’d be right. In fact, the current owners have the entire property listed with the premium holiday letting company, Perfect Stays, where they attract visitors wanting to make the most of the outdoors during their stay in Cornwall, and you can see why! It has 620 acres of woodland right on its doorstep, with miles upon miles of walks, mountain bike trails and bridleways. The location is

CARDINHAM BARNS

central to both coasts and has excellent access to both the A30 and A38 road networks, and Bodmin Parkway railway station is also very nearby too, making it an excellent opportunity for anybody hoping to enjoy Cornwall’s growing staycation market. As mentioned, Cardinham Barns would make an excellent permanent residence – a ready-to-move-into dream home with ample space for a family and surrounding land that provides excellent equestrian opportunities. Indeed, despite the property’s palpable air of seclusion, a world of adventure and exploration, both inland and across both Cornish coasts is all accessible. However you intend to capitalise on this opportunity, the fact is that there are very few like it on today’s Cornish market. But don’t just take our word for it; Cardinham Barns needs seeing to be believed, so be sure to contact Rohrs & Rowe and arrange a viewing.

é ABOVE What better way to relax than your own private hot tub?

ê BELOW Kick back in the comfort of your own stylish lodge

Regular readers of our Special London Edition will remember that last year, we featured a selection of the lodges available at Atlantic Coast. These included the penthouselike Regal Artisan Lodge, worth £94,995, the Regal Lulworth worth £49,995, and the Regal Kingsbury worth £44,995. Each has something different to offer buyers; the Regal Artisan feels like stepping into a penthouse apartment, with eye catching, boutique styling all round, top-of-the-range mod-cons like a wine fridge and a large American style fridge freezer, plus a gorgeous master bedroom suite. The Regal Lulworth, meanwhile – brand new last year – features bright, colourful interiors, fabulous lake views and generously sized accommodation, and the Regal Kingsbury boasts intelligent use of space with all the comforts of home. Each offers clever use of space, optimising how you use your space during the precious days you’re able to steal away by the coast, and each really does feel like a home from home. So, what’s new for 2020? Well, adding to the Regal range is the Regal Hartland 2020 – a new luxurious lodge that’s sure to impress as soon as you cross the threshold. With a high attention to detail evident in every aspect of the design, there’s a wonderful

sense of space and clever storage solutions throughout. There’s also a palpable feeling of luxury to be enjoyed, from the lodge’s stylish lounge, to the integrated television bed in the master bedroom. A total of two bedrooms make up the accommodation, with a twin bedroom – complete with twin beds – making this the perfect lodge for a family holiday. A large open-plan kitchen lies at the heart of it all, which is great for entertaining friends and family, and the well-planned, ully fitted kitc en eatures everyt in you could possibly need to cook up a storm with Cornwall’s renowned homegrown produce, including a spacious larder unit, a range cooker (a real show-stopper!), integrated dishwasher and a washing machine. The lodge is beautifully furnished throughout, and with Bluetooth compatible speakers built into the ceiling, after a day spent exploring the nearby coastline, the Regal Hartland really does feel like a home away from home, and you couldn’t really ask for anything else when it comes to enjoying an evening spent relaxing. Sure to impress from the moment you step inside, and starting at £119,995, if you’ve been contemplating investing in your family’s future holidays, Atlantic Coast’s brand-new Regal Hartland Lodge needs seeing to be believed. To learn more about what’s available at this fantastic Cornish holiday park, simply give the team a call or head to the website.
