We can think of no better spot to live out your Cornish dream. Wake up with the beaches quite literally on your doorstep and marvel at the breathtaking sea views which surround you. With a typical 'country cottage' feel, think open fireplaces, exposed wood, and Victorian ceilings, you truly do feel like you're living in a sea-side fantasy. 

Though the main event may be the pork at Padstow Kitchen Garden, vegetarians don't fret as there is an abundance of fresh vegetables and fruit that are freshly harvested each day. Join the farm for a feast - the Lobster Lunch is not one to miss - or for a cooking course, where former Rick Stein head chef, Ross Geach, can take you through your paces. 

It may confidently boast a Michelin star, though Paul Ainsworth at No 6 is located in a hidden and unexpected Georgian townhouse. Cornish Jack crabs are beautifully piled with smoked pike roe, Kohlrabi and grapefruit and the langoustine doused with a generous heap of Iberian ham mousseline. Though you must leave some room for the signature dessert platter!
