We are starting to get in to our groove in Cornwall, and have found our perfect spot for coffee everyday and favourite evening walk (we are creatures of habit). This week I also turned 37, because we had just spent a fortune on the move we kept celebrations low key and took a trip to Polkerris and Fowey. We have been before a couple of years ago and it is so close to where we live so it was nice just to pop there for a couple of hours. It started off a little cloudy but turned into such a beautiful sunny morning it was so nice to spend some time by the river and relax.
I don’t think I will ever get tired of seeing the sea or the beautiful white wash cottages.
This week has been mostly trying to find a home for all my stuff, the house itself is quite big but there are no wardrobes or airing cupboard and the under stairs cupboard is hiding all the boxes I am yet to unpack. So I have been hunting out storage solutions and pinning lots of ideas on Pinterest. I have a beauty / skincare nightmare that needs organising and my fridge freezer was delivered with a massive dent in the side. Thanks Argos! I now have to wait 2 weeks for a replacement.
The weather on the other hand has been beautiful again and we are really enjoying getting out and about, we’re going to visit Polkerris next week because I have heard its a beautiful village right on the beach. So that should be lovely. We stayed pretty close to home this past week because we had to be home for all the deliveries, so much like last week here are a few photos from our local area.
So I moved to Cornwall last week, it seemed the weather came out to greet us and make us feel very welcome. Amongst the unpacking, unpacking and even more unpacking we have managed to venture out in the glorious sunshine and make the most of our new beautiful surroundings. I thought I would share with you a few photos from a few of our walks.
Hope you all had a lovely Sunny week, it has been so warm that it doesn’t feel like October. Oh & if you have any suggestions of places I should visit, eat or shop in Cornwall I would love to hear them.
We needed a base in Cornwall pretty last minute so we could view a few properties & after exhausting all the Hotels & B&B’s we thought we would browse Airbnb with everything crossed we could find a place that had availability (as it was the height of the Summer Holidays). Almost immediately my husband spotted the listing for ‘Bespoke cabin set in meadow‘ the photos looked incredible and the location couldn’t have been more perfect for us to use as a base, so of course we had to book!
At £90 a night we were blown away by the location, accommodation and just how friendly the host Carol was. To get to the Cabin you wind your way along the back roads from Bodmin, which are breath taking in themselves but you come across the cabin which is set in a Valley in one of the most peaceful locations I have ever visited. The Cabin has its own gates, white gravel drive and there is a meadow as far as your eye can see. We instantly felt relaxed.
The Cabin itself is rustic, minimal, has touches of modern and the attention to detail is second to none. I lost count of how many times I said to my husband that I would be 100% happy to live there. Its all wooden inside which has such a nice cosy feel & the use of soft furnishings and bright colours make it feel homely. The space is more than comfortable for two and everything from the furniture, right down to the amount of light that comes streaming in thought the beautiful windows has been carefully thought out so the cabin feels bright and like you’re part of the countryside.
We had two very happy days here & were lucky enough to enjoy the sunshine & sit out on the decking area until it went dark and also snuggle up with the wood burning stove lit on the day it inevitably rained. It felt cosy, romantic and although the heavens opened the well positioned windows let in so much light that it never felt gloomy.
If the Cabin wasn’t beautiful enough you have access to your own private meadow and use of the Summer House which sits at the top of the hill which has breath taking views over the Luxulyan Valley. Its a romantic spot to watch the sunset.
To say I fell in love with this hidden gem is an understatement and I was thinking of keeping this discovery to myself but I know that would be selfish and if you’re thinking of heading to Cornwall make sure you see if this Cabin is free and take full advantage of its location and what it has to offer.
