FOR HARBOUR CHIC

Soak up the Georgian-era harbour views from this lovely villa in a pretty village near St Austell on the south Cornish coast. An all-white décor is sprinkled with vintage pieces such as antique chests and giltframed artworks. Upstairs, snuggle into crisp white sheets on super-kingsize beds and have a relaxing soak in one of the two roll-top baths. Downstairs, light the fire for cosy nights in.

The Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan are both nearby; blow the cobwebs away with beach walks and explore Fowey. Head to The Longstore for seafood and steaks.

Sleeps four adults, two children; from £540pn; antoniaspearls.co.uk
