Take A Luxurious Trip To Cornwall

Cornwall really is a piece of British paradise. The white sandy beaches and blue waters resemble those of a Caribbean island, and whilst we aren’t always going to get Caribbean temperatures, it doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy it for all that it is.

It’s not just the beaches that are beautiful to look at. There are the lengthy coastlines, stunning seaside villages and postcard-pretty scenery. All of this is just a drive away to every UK citizen. What’s not to love? Let’s talk about taking a luxurious trip to Cornwall.

How to get there?

Driving is without a doubt the most popular way to get to Cornwall, but it is worth remembering that it can get very busy on the motorways, especially at the weekend. If you aren’t bothered about this and love a good day trip then pick yourself a delicious picnic and make yourself a cheerful playlist for the drive down.

If the traffic doesn’t appeal to you, you can, of course, leave very early, or very late to avoid the bumper to bumper shenanigans. Either way, it will be worth it when you have your own transport at your disposal when you get there.

Where to stay

Now, this is all about a luxurious trip to Cornwall, so we are going to suggest somewhere that is just that – luxurious. Hotels and bed and breakfast are all well and good, but real luxury lies with a home from home that is somewhat more extravagant to what you are used to at home.

Niche Retreats offer a wide range of self-catering holiday cottages that are luxurious in every sense of the word. From loft conversions with sea views to modern barn conversions and modern homes with countryside views – many of which have hot tubs for those quiet evenings in. This really is the most luxurious way to stay in Cornwall.

Things to do in Cornwall

Appreciate the art

St Ives is the place to visit if you want to experience the artistic culture. Beyond all of the beautiful beaches and other seaside activities available, St Ives has quickly become the place for artistic expression. It is best appreciated at the stunning Tate Gallery that looks over the Atlantic Ocean.

Eden Project

The Eden Project is home to the world’s largest rainforest in captivity. It is a massive global garden that houses a tremendous collection of flowers from all over the planet. The Eden Project is in giant domes called Biomes and is a great place to take children for its educational purposes.

Experience the Victorian era at Lanhydrock House

Lanhydrock House is a stunning late-Victorian country house that is owned and managed by the National Trust and has been since 1953. Its beautiful surroundings are perfect for a stroll or you can take a closer look at all of the nooks and crannies in the interior of the house. Either way, you’ll get a great insight into the Victorian era when visiting.

Travel to the end of the earth

You can’t visit Cornwall without taking a trip to Land’s End – England’s most westerly point. There is nothing but the Isles of Scilly between the UK and the USA. It’s a sight to be seen and you must make sure that you get a photo by the famous Lands End signpost to mark the occasion.

There is so much more to do in Cornwall other than what is listed here, and it’s recommended to check out the official visitors guide for inspiration for your luxurious trip to Cornwall. Whatever you end up doing, you will want to return time and time again.
