THE CHALET

This county is not short on stellar beaches and The Chalet has dazzling views over one of the best – Carbis Bay. The architect designed pad is uber modern, with two ensuite bedrooms (two king size beds, one an optional twin), a snazzy kitchen and an upside-down layout with living area upstairs, for maximum vista drooling time. Lovely St Ives is just a one mile stroll along the coast.

* The Chalet can be booked through Cornish Gems who have over 180 special places to stay across Cornwall and pride themselves on their customer service.
