Secret Beaches in Cornwall

Cornwall is adored for its coastline, decorated with secret beaches and secluded coves at the foot of quiet hamlets and hidden between lofty cliffs.

Combine the luxuries of a good hotel with the suit-yourself dynamic of self-catering.

We know how gorgeous our retreats are, but don’t just take our word for it – here’s what previous guests say about Melynsy:

Wonderful cottage, with absolutely everything you need for a super stay. Beautiful well established garden, and beautifully decorated house, with each room designed to impress. It’s actually more spectacular than the photos. Even robes provided. The kitchen is really super with everything you need to cook a banquet meal, should you want to. A lovely hot tub just outside the kitchen area, and a patio for sitting in the sun or eating outside as well. Nicest place I’ve stayed for many years.
