Paloma

Living

A wonderfully cosy space, the living room is the picture of cottage perfection. Framed by period beams and starring a feature fireplace, it radiates charm and beckons for slow living moments. For hygge-worthy comfort, two sofas adorned in throws and cushions are angled around a wood burning stove in the fireplace, complemented by alcove window seats, an armchair and footstool. Soothing tones dress the walls, while considered pops of colour add vibrance and warmth. For languid mornings and heavenly evenings spent fireside, curl up with your favourite book or gather for a film together and savour this sumptuous space.

Eating and dining

Dressed in calming, neutral hues and bathed in natural light, the handsome kitchen calls to the chefs of the party. At one end of the room, a fully equipped kitchen resides with all the utensils and equipment you need for cooking up gourmet repasts. At the other end, an adjoining kitchen snug area with a TV invites you to linger while the cook is at work. For morning blends, a Nespresso coffee machine awaits. Providing a melodic soundtrack as you gather around the kitchen's dining table or the snug's armchairs are Sonos speakers.

Sleeping and bathing

There are three beautiful bedrooms at Paloma, each a tranquil sanctuary for restful repose.

Pretty as a picture, bedroom one sits in sophisticated splendour within the eaves and is splashed with sunflower hues. For utmost comfort, the garden-view king size bed is bedecked in crisp linens and soft throws, while two chests of drawers provide plentiful storage. This bedroom also benefits from its own en suite shower room.

Full of character, bedroom two features period quirks and sloped ceilings. Its comfortable bed can be enjoyed as a super king or as a twin as required, and comes topped with plush toppers and pillows for lingering lie-ins. This resplendent bedroom comes complete with a chest of drawers and wardrobes.

A delightful room brimming with cosiness, bedroom three is home to a cute single bed. With alcove windows casting natural light, a footstool, wooden bench, and chest of drawers, it creates a truly peaceful bubble in which to retreat and slip into blissful slumber.

Upstairs, in between the single bedroom and the super king bedroom, a bathroom with a bath with shower head can be found. Meanwhile, downstairs is a further shower room.

Bedrooms one and two feature Sonos speakers, perfect for setting your staycation mood with a soothing soundtrack.

In the Area

Set within idyllic countryside and only 3.5 miles from the sea, Paloma boasts a fantastic location for exploration. For nights of easy wining and dining, a charming 16th Century village pub, The Crown Inn, is less than 100 yards away and offers home cooked food and award-winning beers. Meanwhile Polgooth, Mevagissey and Portmellon are all within 5 miles and provide an abundance of places to eat and drink. The harbourfront Sharksfin bar and restaurant in Mevagissey is particularly recommended, as is the Michelin-recommended Barley Sheaf in Gorran Churchtown, just 3 miles away.

For days exploring the coast, the harbourside towns of Charlestown, Mevagissey and St Mawes are a must. The latter, St Mawes, is especially renowned for its glittering streets lined with independent boutiques and bistros. Uncover Caerhays Castle gardens and beach, just a short drive away and promising a stunning setting for days outs. For a dose of dreamy vitamin sea, Pentewan beach is less than 4 miles from Paloma and is a favourite with all generations for timeless seaside fun. Real Cornish highlights, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and The Eden Project are must-visits, too. Only 1.5 miles and 11 miles away respectively from our fabulous homestay, these luscious havens promise hours of discovery beneath tangled emerald canopies.
