Pear Tree Cottage near St Dominick, Cornwall, sleeps two guests in one bedroom.

This two-bedroom property is on the ever-popular St. Mellion Estate. Attracted by the wide array of leisure facilities, there is a lot to do and see on-site for all types of guests. Splash in the pools, relax in the spa or get sporty on the golf course. It’s an easy win for entertaining many ages and tastes whilst on your Cornish break. The inside of the property has a reverse layout - with the bedrooms on the ground floor and the living areas above. As such, when you enter, you’ll find two bedrooms off the entrance hallway. There’s a bunk room that’s great for kids, plus a master bedroom, which has a super-king-size bed. It can be separated should you need it to be a twin. The master also benefits from a dressing area, in addition to somewhere to sit, plus patio doors, which take you outside to the terrace. The real wow factor in this room is the freestanding bath. A separate WC completes the accommodation on this floor. The property’s spiral staircase takes you upstairs to the open-plan living space, which is spacious and airy. The kitchen area has every mod-con you should need to cater on your break, while the lounge area has seating made for relaxing in front of the Smart TV. The dining table, in the middle of the room, is a wonderful social space where you can get together for mealtimes. Outside, the terrace has its own garden furniture, while the lounge has access to a balcony. The wider estate has 450 acres to explore, as well as the use of a swimming pool, spa, and golf course. For the times you want to leave the grounds, there’s lots to do just a short drive away. Plymouth is only 12 miles distant and has museums and galleries, plus an aquarium. The Tamar Valley is a must-do for walkers or cyclists as it is an Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty.

Based in St. Mellion - a 450-acre estate with plenty of leisure facilities - this property fits four people in two bedrooms. Its location on the Cornwall/Devon border makes it well situated to explore further afield, while the on-site facilities make keeping all guests happy a breeze. Go swimming, play golf or simply kick back in the spa. The single-storey property is airy and spacious throughout, with the main living area being entirely open plan. This fantastic social space is home to a well-equipped kitchen that makes catering on holiday easy. The lounge has a Smart TV to watch while relaxing on the sofas, and the dining area easily fits all guests for mealtimes. The bedrooms are on the same floor. Both have super-king-size beds that are zip-and-link, therefore they can be made into twin beds if required. They also both have their own en-suite shower or bathrooms plus a dressing area each. Outside, there’s a private patio area in addition to the wider estate’s grounds. The shared leisure facilities include swimming pools, a bar, a restaurant, a golf course and a spa. Further afield, you’ll find that Plymouth is only 12 miles away if you need an urban hit. The vibrant city has an aquarium, galleries and museums plus plenty of shops and restaurants. Pretty towns and villages such as Looe (16 miles) and Callington are nearby too, with the latter being just under 4 miles away. If you are happy to head further away, you’ll find the coastal village of Bigbury-on-Sea (28 miles) in South Devon. It’s extremely popular for kitesurfing and windsurfing, or you can just take a walk over to Burgh Island at low tide.

This vaulted-ceiling bungalow is a good base for a group of friends or family looking for an easy get-together. Not only does the property have everything you should need for a stay - whatever the age range of your group - the estate where the property is set has a wide choice of leisure facilities to keep everyone occupied. Inside the house itself, you’ll find that the interiors are stylish throughout. There’s plenty of storage, starting with the entrance hallway where you can hang all coats and leave all boots and shoes. From there, guests go through to the vast open-plan living space, which is fantastic for socialising. The kitchen area is well equipped with plenty of work surfaces for creating feasts for your trip, while the lounge is a great area for kicking back and relaxing. There’s a Smart TV but you can also look through to the terrace area and grounds beyond through the large patio doors. Off the lounge area are the bedrooms. One has a super-king-size zip-and-link for flexible sleeping arrangements. It also has patio doors to the terrace, making it bright and light. The next two bedrooms also have super-king-size zip-and-link beds so you can pick and choose how the rooms are made up. These two rooms have their own en-suites and doors to the patio. The patio area has garden furniture for al fresco dining. The property’s location on the Cornwall/Devon border, near Plymouth, means there is still plenty to do when you leave the estate. Plymouth, for instance, is just 12 miles away and has so much to offer. Those that like walking can wander the estate’s 450 acres, but the nearby Tamar Valley is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty so also worth a visit.
