Otherwise, we’re already thinking about winter 2011. It might seem a bit nutty to start thinking about winter holidays when the school holidays have only just started. But we know how important it is to plan ahead, especially as our Cornish holiday cottages are so popular. So we’ve recently launched our lovely new winter holidays brochure. You can flip through online or request a printed copy if you prefer – just follow the link.

In winter our county shows a different face. You’ll fall in love with crisp, fresh, bright days when the sun shines as brightly as summer, making the wet sand gleam with reflected light. You’ll never forget the way skeins of wispy cloud create beautiful patterns in the sky and on the sea below, the colour of sun-warmed lead. Cornish holiday homes offer better shelter than a tent… plus all mod cons!

Our fierce Atlantic storms are something to remember – you’ll never forget your first as the wind lashes and howls, blowing intricate patterns into the sand and beating the waves flat. The sound of a high storm tide is unbelievable; a massive, rhythmic rushing and sucking that mirrors your heartbeat and tangles your hair into salty spikes. Perfect for the romantic at heart, ideal for adventure lovers and a visual treasure trove for walkers, artists, rock-poolers and beachcombers.

The only thing missing down here in the winter is hot sunshine. But if you’re not that keen on roasting your bits and bobs on the beach, there’s no comparison. We love it. And we’re sure you will too. So take a tour of our winter brochure and book nice and early. Winter Cornish self catering holidays ‘r’ us!
