Self-catering cottages near St Austell. Fantastic location with great grounds. Very close to Eden project and lost gardens of Heligan. All you could possibly need!
Ullswater is beautiful, tranquil and worth visiting - whatever the time of year. Walk round the lake, catch the steamer, or drive round - it's marvellous!
Awesome views whatever the time of year. Mystery and magic - just the best place to go in Cornwall - fantastic!
Beautiful spot with great walks on the east around Place Fell. Take a trip on the Ullswater Steamers to get a good sense of the lake and, if you're feeling adventurous, head up Hevellyn from Patterdale or Glenridding.

Great to look at from low level and even better to get up close and personal with - although not so much at this time of year!
Great place to stay and great place to ski. First time in Austria after years in France. What a difference! Quiet slopes, great snow, and polite locals!
