THE ULTIMATE IN CORNWALL STAYCATION SPOTS…IN SUCH A GREAT LOCATION

I may just have found the ultimate Cornwall staycation location. And it’s in just about the most perfect Cornish coastal location one could wish for, writes ANDY COOPER.

I am referring to Atlanta, a new holiday home renovation which is less than a stone’s throw from the stunning north Cornwall beach of Trevone. It’s a fabulous spot in a beautiful part of the Duchy and after a long weekend there I am already plotting my return.

Atlanta Trevone is a newly refurbished collection of five luxury self-catering holiday homes. A Victorian house built in 1899, the property has been owned by the same Cornish family for generations.

Atlanta Trevone offers guests a choice of five rental apartments which can accommodate a mix of party sizes, so gather up your crew, book a date into the diary and enjoy just about the ultimate self-catering holiday in Cornish comfort and luxury. atlantatrevonebay.com

STAY CLOSE TO THE ‘SALCOMBE OF THE NORTH’

For a superb coastal stay, a break at Leuchie Walled Garden will give families or groups of friends plenty of space to spread out and relax. Set amongst five acres of gardens, the stunning mid-century house sleeps 12 and is perfect for multi-generational stays, as the house is all on one level. The house was the childhood home of Sir Hew Dalrymple, the 11th baronet, and it was originally designed and created in 1960 for his father by the highly regarded architect James Dunbar-Nasmith, winning numerous plaudits for its bold design.

However, it is not just the house that is extraordinary; the location is exceptional too, set within a 60-acre estate with the county of East Lothian offering a multitude of attractions. The star in the crown is the seaside town of North Berwick, just two miles from Leuchie Walled Garden. Affectionately known as the ‘Salcombe of the North’, it is home to independent restaurants and shops, and a procession of beautiful sandy beaches stretching along the coastline. leuchiewalledgarden.com

Leuchie Walled Garden offers an intriguing juxtaposition between modernity and tradition.
