In a sheltered farm setting, a mile or two from sea and surf, this quartet of immaculately restored outbuildings exudes lightness, brightness and comfort. Oak floors are heated, plasma screens abound, kitchens burst with utensils, beds are electrically primed to recline (!) and the whole places oozes Cornish chic. Philippe Starck bathrooms are resplendent with white fluffy towels, beds are topped with super-soft pillows. Throughout are intriguing pieces of wood furniture; one cottage has outdoor seats built from a far off goldmine's supporting timbers. Step outside and all is as beautifully maintained as in. A subtropical approach leads to manicured young lawns and borders and a barbecue for warm evenings. There's also a communal shed for bikes and boards and a shower to wash off the sand; the owners, who run a plant nursery and farm shop on site, are committed to quality and have thought of everything a couple or an extended party might need. Children would adore it here, surrounded by Tamworth pigs, Jacob sheep, hens, geese, goats, doves, a garden with a play-tower and a football area - and 26 private acres. Fabulous.
