Enjoy a cracker of a Christmas!

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

How about  escaping the routine of Christmas – the shopping, the decorating the tree,  standing in the kitchen for hours and preparing the festive meal? If there is just the two of you – then how about spending Christmas in Cornwall and living the dream for a week in our thatched cottage that feels like a home not a standard self catering rented property?

We prepare the cottage for your stay – a real pine Christmas tree complete with decorations, fresh festive greenery gathered from our field hedgerows, a fresh Christmas wreath on your door – made here also. (more…)
