One of the top-rated cottages in Cornwall that you could book right now on HolidayCottages.co.uk is ‘Shell Seekers’ cottage in Charlestown, near St Austell.
Sitting atop a cliffside, this three-bedroom property offers uninterrupted views over its own private beach just a few steps away.
Fans of the hit BBC drama series, Poldark, may recognise nearby Charlestown Harbour from the TV show. And other iconic sites just a few short miles from the cottage include the Eden Project, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan.
Shell Seekers sleeps up to six people, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It has its own private beach, Two Coves, just a short walk downhill, while sandy beaches including Duporth Beach and Porthpean Beach are just a mile from the property.
You can start your day with a fresh cup of coffee on the third-floor balcony, breathing in the sea air.
It also offers private, off-road parking for one car, as well as a host of amenities including a dishwasher, washing machine, coffee machine, and an electric oven and hob.
If this sounds like your dream stay, the cottage is now available for a three-night stay next weekend (August 8-10), for £1,332, down from £1,795. That works out at just £74 per person per night, based on six people staying in the cottage.
Or you could enjoy a stay of up to seven nights during the period August 16-23, with the price now slashed from £2,373 to £1,679 for a whole week at the cottage.
This will cost you a bargain £40 per person per night for a booking of six people.
Elsewhere in Cornwall, Cory Farm Welcombe Cottage, near Bude, is set on a family-run dairy farm within 267 acres of stunning pastureland. It sleeps four people, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and is even dog-friendly.
Cory Farm is a secluded spot in the scenic Marsland Valley, situated not far from Tintagel, famous for the legend of King Arthur. You can enjoy a woodland walk through country lanes to the nearest beach, where families can spend the afternoon exploring rockpools.
The cottage itself also has its own enclosed private walled patio, with outdoor seating and a BBQ.
Amenities include a dishwasher, washing machine, a log burner with your first basket of logs provided, and even an all-weather play barn for the little ones to enjoy.
You can book the cottage now for a stay at the end of August (after August 22), with a seven-night stay costing £1,094, or £39 per person per night for four people staying.
Meanwhile, for those hunting for a getaway outside of peak summer holiday season, you could book Stargazy Cabin near Looe, for a romantic trip for two – and you could even bring the dog.
This countryside cabin has it all, from rolling countryside views to a hot tub where you can enjoy a twilight soak and see the stars. Avid walkers can take a stroll on Bodmin Moor or the Rame Head Heritage Coast, or if you want to head into a city for the day, Plymouth is only a 30-minute drive away.
The next availability for Stargazy Cabin is from September 20, but you could enjoy six nights for £683. This works out at £57 per person per night.
