Top choice in South Cornwall
Now this is what rural B&Bs should be like. Fantastically secluded and wittily decorated, it's a couples' hideaway par excellence. All rooms are different, but share the same hippie-chic vibe – patterned throws and sunburst colours, plus surprises like a hot tub in the Nook suite, a wood-burner in the Cranny, and a gypsy caravan beside the Hideaway. Huge fun.
Evening meals are served in the garden shack on request. There's a minimum stay of at least two or three nights at certain times of year.
