It’s official – another New Year is here! So let’s get outside, reduce our sugar and alcohol intake (as we have been told we must do), burn off those festive excesses and enjoy what is out there for free! It’s a time of year when you can see spectacular stormy seas one day and bask in uncommon temperatures and sunshine the next. Indeed down here in the far west of Cornwall you can experience that difference on the same day comparing the North Coast with the South coast and you never know who you might meet on the South West coast path

Whatever the time of year Cornwall never disappoints. Hop on the train and spend a day at magical St Ives

Amble along the golden sands on Porthminster beach St Ives

Return home in the evenings and cosy up with supper in front of the woodburner.

Anyone for supper?

There’s always the Boscrowan jigsaw challenge if you fancy a break from your Ipad

Or take Meg for a walk around the fields – or rather she will take you.

Always ready for a snack from cottage guests

So Boscrowan is a great place to rest and relax and recharge those batteries – whatever the time of year!
