ost visitors to Cornwall leave with the dream of owning a second home here. It’s hardly surprising when a holiday home in Cornwall comes set in stunning countryside, sandwiched between two diverse and beautifully rugged coastlines, laced with beaches and scenery that’s unsurpassed in beauty. So it’s time to make that dream a reality!

The great thing about owning your own holiday home is that you can get away and relax whenever you want to, sometimes impulsively! Another great benefit of resorts is that you can take advantage of all the incredible facilities on offer. Many resorts, including those in our selection, are enhanced greatly by the amazing attractions and facilities all conveniently located in one place. From luxury spas and gymnasiums, children’s play areas and sports activities, to top restaurants and bistros, there’s really something for all the family. It’s great, of course, to explore all of the local surrounds and beaches when on holiday, but sometimes it’s nice to forget the car every now and then, and it helps to have a few luxuries right on your doorstep! And when you’re not using the home yourself, you can enjoy an income from it, by renting it out to others. Make the most out of buying a holiday home within this beautiful county and forget all the commotion back home. So, over the next few pages, we showcase some fantastic resorts, lodges and parks currently offering some great packages and investment opportunities. We hope it will entice you into putting those dreams into reality!

Introducing Atlantic View...
VisitEngland
A new development of holiday homes with sea views from just £64,995 A holiday home at Praa Sands isn’t just a holiday home - it’s the perfect escape for couples and families, so we are delighted to announce the release of ten new two bedroom holiday homes with views out to the Atlantic Ocean. Situated in an envious location just minutes away from the swimming pool, restaurant and terrace bar, Atlantic View is picture perfect in every way. And through our managed letting service, homes can be rented out to holidaymakers when not being used, so rental incomes could more than offset running costs.

Enjoy a scenic escape at Boscrege Boscrege Caravan and Camping Park is hidden deep in the countryside near Helston and just a short drive from Praa Sands beach. The site covers 12 acres with static holiday homes available all year round, situated amongst a planted garden area. Luxury holiday homes from Boscrege are available to hire or buy, complete with private garden, parking and picnic area.
Do you need to use a holiday agent for your holiday home in 2017?
If you have your own motor home, the site provides easy access, whether you’re towing a caravan or a trailer for your camping holiday. The seasonal camping park has
generous sized pitches with electric hook-ups suitable for touring caravans, tents and motor homes. Facilities include a children’s play area, laundry room, shower and baby changing facilities, dog walking fields, a kitchen area to wash up cooking utensils and wifi. The park is also on the Natiional Trust walking route, so what more could you need? Let the holiday begin! 01736 762231 www.caravanparkcornwall.com
AirBnB, Owners Direct and Tripadvisor are easy to use and can certainly get you bookings, so in 2017 will you even need a traditional holiday agent for your home? Regardless of how you market your home, handling guest enquiries and stays is time consuming – 8.4 hours a week according to HomeAway.com. With busy lifestyles, work, family and the 24/7 demands of holidays, will you have the time to respond to enquiries quickly and politely, every time? And what if something goes wrong? Your options as an owner are much broader now with traditional agents, AirBnB managers, property managers and housekeepers, all helping to fill the voids that you can’t. Traditional agents still have their place, particularly in the Cornish market, which is quite unique, but they may not be right for everyone. Zenia Assist, a holiday home consultancy with one set price, can help you sift through new, traditional and self-managed options and make impartial recommendations to ensure your holiday home works for you. For the latest offers and last minute deals, look up Hawkes Point on Facebook or Twitter. www.hawkes-point.co.uk 01736 798178

N
estled in the heart of the Cornish countryside, surrounded by wild bunnies, endless meadows and subtropical flora, but still just a five-minute drive from the golden beaches of the south coast, you’ll find Trewhiddle Park. This wonderfully relaxing haven on the outskirts of St Austell is home to a cluster of beautiful Cornish properties. You’d be hard pressed to find a more idyllic location, perched on the doorstep of world-renowned tourist attractions including the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the many other subtropical gardens and grand country houses of the south coast. What’s more, taking the keys to your own personal paradise is actually more attainable than you might think. One of Natural Retreats’ three or four-bedroom luxury villas could be yours to own starting from as little as £235,000. Bask in the luxury of indulgent, chic interiors, complete with under-heated floors and en-suite bathrooms. After an action-packed day exploring the locale, retreat to your sumptous private decking area to enjoy a glass of something cool and refreshing in the afternoon sun. Trewhiddle Park is ideal for those looking to secure a lifetime of family holidays – it’s where lifelong memories are created; perfect for bringing together several generations under one roof to enjoy some quality time together. Purchasing your own Trewhiddle holiday
home is not just a welcome move for the family; with a 7% guaranteed investment return, it makes great business sense too. With the current tourism instability across Europe, increasingly more UK residents are looking to enjoy a ‘staycation’ instead of holidaying abroad, presenting a fantastic opportunity to make the most of your investment. There are many other benefits of choosing Natural Retreats, not least full access to the concierge service with local experts providing unrivalled knowledge of the area, on-hand to help with any request, from groceries to restaurant recommendations. Another great owner perk is the exchange programme, giving access to a plethora of stunning properties in other locations, meaning that while you enjoy all benefits of owning your own holiday home, you are not permanently tied to it. Then again, once you discover Trewhiddle, why would you want to go anywhere else? So what are you waiting for? It’s time to make your dreams a reality.

A
s a potential new owner of the superb accommodation available at Perran Sands Holiday Park, you’re not only buying a lodge; you’re buying access to miles of Cornish coast, golden sands and the amazing facilities on offer at Perran Sands and its sister park, Riviere Sands. Holidays in Cornwall are about one thing: making memories that will last you a lifetime. Set in 550 acres of stunning protected land and sand dunes, to say there’s room to move would be an understatement! Dog owners can bring the furry ones and let them sniff, bark and roll their way around the dunes while avid golfers can make most of the well-maintained championship golf course next door. Just 15 minutes from Perranporth, you’ve got access to pubs, inns and quirky shops that make Cornwall, well, Cornish! Those of you who need a few days to unwind before lacing up your boots will find that the onsite facilities are second to none, with an indoor and outdoor pool as well as exclusive owner events and experience days. What’s more, you can enjoy a Cream Tea, the Cornish way, at the Surf Bay café and bar before heading to the beach - a stone’s throw from your lodge! Other exciting things to do include visiting Falmouth and the National Maritime Museum; taking a trip to St Mawes Castle; or exploring the charming fishing villages of Mousehole and Newlyn near Penzance, where fishermen bring home their fresh, daily catch each morning for you and your
foodie family to sample. Other ‘must-do’s during your stay here include taking a day trip to the subtropical Isles of Scilly and climbing the ancestral home of the St Aubyn family, St Michael’s Mount. Accessible via the cobbled footpath at low tide or by ferry at high water, here you can ramble around one of the most iconic coastal formations in the south west. So, if you want luxury accommodation that offers access to the best, most exciting and stunning parts of Cornwall, nowhere offers you, your family and your dog more than Perran Sands Holiday Park.

e all know a British summer almost always means some rainy days and if you’re camping in the great outdoors, the weather can be a real dampener. Avenay has the solution – the company’s amazing portable wood burning tent stoves are the perfect solution for soggy feet and damp spirits! Bring the outdoors indoors with a small space wood burner; whether you’re looking to kit out a garden yurt or a summer house, the Traveller and Fintan stoves from Anevay are the perfect way to stay warm on a summer camping trip or a chilly winter. These great little burners are designed for cooking as well
as heating and are easily portable so can be used on your camping trip as well as keeping your summer house warm. You can even use this stove in your van to stay warm on chilly surfing trips. So for a great trip no matter what the weather, always make sure you have a roomy canvas tent with enough space for all your kit. Canvas tents help regulate temperature so you won’t wake up baking in your sleeping bag if it’s a sunny day. A tent stove is an essential item for any camping trip. You can use it to dry wet clothes, make hot chocolate and snuggle up in the evening with a good book. Even a sunny day in the UK can mean a chilly night! For a happy family all round, always bring some hot chocolate and marshmallows for rounding off a glorious day spent outdoors. Ensure you have a pack of cards or a board game for entertaining on rubbish days to pass the time. It’s all about bringing the sense of adventure indoors, whether you’re cooking in a bell tent or your conservatory, so you don‘t need to rely on the weather to have a great time indoors.
