THE FINER DETAILS

Finding ultimate relaxation in exclusive holiday homes in beautiful locations across the South West

Perfect Stays was founded in 2011 and specialises in spectacular escapes; indeed some of their properties are amongst the most prestigious in Cornwall and Devon. These handpicked homes are always chosen with the guest experience in mind, the aim being that every stay affords an incredible experience and that guests fall in love with the local area, ultimately returning year on year.

For Perfect Stays, luxury self-catering goes beyond the accommodation. It begins with discovering your dream holiday home from an inspirational collection on the website; each property showcased by a portfolio of incredible imagery and described in passionate detail. The booking process is seamless and should you have any questions, a member of the Perfect Stays team is always on hand with answers and advice. Ask them about tucked-away retreats, coastal hangouts or local recommendations and they’ll be happy to help, making your holiday an experience to be treasured forever.

What sets Perfect Stays apart is their tailored approach and a unique, inclusive concierge service that is included with every booking. Championing high quality, independent local businesses, including private chefs, beauty therapists, surf schools, restaurants, local guides, foragers, and food and drink experts, their insider knowledge takes the stress out of holiday planning meaning all you have to do is enjoy your escape.

With a property such as Ferryside you can’t fail to immerse yourself in unrivalled luxury. With breathtaking, frontline estuary views this waterfront home, sleeping 10-12 guests, is perfectly located for exploring Rock and the wider area. You can really spoil yourself here, enjoying a glass of champagne in the sunken vitality pool as the sun dips, watching the boats and paddle boarders return to shore. Younger guests are treated to a cinema and games room that will keep them occupied for hours. This architectural gem combines exclusive interiors with views from almost every room.

Moving from Cornwall’s north coast to south, Sea Edge (sleeping six) is just moments from the beaches at Seaton and Downderry. A large open plan living area is the perfect place to relax while you soak up the panoramic ocean views from floor to ceiling windows. You’ll find those same views from the three en-suite bedrooms which open out onto private patios. This is a location that exudes peace and offers the ultimate escape from every-day life.

A Perfect Stays property that shouldn’t go without mention is Noordhoek. This unique and exceptional home for 12-16 guests, has interiors brought to life by Coast Creative (page 64) and is an eco-friendly retreat that is footsteps from the beach at Porthcothan. Designed with the environment in mind, natural materials abound both inside and out. Set beside a trickling stream, the gardens have been lavished with as much care and attention as the house itself making this a north coast paradise like no other.

It's the relationship with owners that ensures the continuing quality of this impressive portfolio. Due to the strong demand for UK holidays and ongoing success, Perfect Stays continues to increase its number of luxury homes whilst ensuring they remain exclusive.

This controlled growth means that they limit the number of new properties taken on each year in order to ensure that service levels stay high, and that the team can concentrate on the homes they’re truly passionate about.

Understanding that renting out a private home is a very personal experience, and that each and every homeowner has different goals and expectations for their property is at the forefront of any working relationship with Perfect Stays. Some owners like to rent commercially, whilst others prefer to offer availability to guests while they’re not using their houses themselves. By providing tailored advice and recommendations the team are able to achieve performance that’s in line with owners’ specific goals. www.perfectstays.co.uk

Perfect Stays’ service is flexible and adaptable, and guidance and advice are offered at all stages, whether an owner is pre- or post-purchase. Due to the exclusivity of the properties, the team is experienced at working confidentially and discretely, able to assist with property sales, produce realistic rental projections and help owners prepare their home for the luxury rental market. And once individual properties are ready to welcome guests, they ensure that the rental process runs quietly and smoothly behind the scenes.

Whether you are an owner or a guest, the ethos remains the same; exceptional service and a passion for the finer details. This is holiday home luxury at its best.
