What is it about Cornwall that inspired me so?

April 25, 2011 - PRLog -- As a child growing up, Cornwall was always a destination and location I heard about as a sunny, fun and beautiful location. Whenever a road trip was on the cards, the best option mentionable was a stay in a Cornwall cottages. I don’t know why so, but as an adult, it’s clear to me that much of the South West offers the same. However, the words Cornwall inspire a magical sense of adventure, distance, pirates, sunshine, sea, beautiful scenery and much more. It is truly a magical word.

Let’s be clear, I did not come from a very fortunate background, and a trip to Cornwall, well, did not seem to be a possibility. So quite frankly it was a distant dream and may as well as been as far away as America, in terms of my perceived expectations and hopes of visiting. Strange how, as a child, something may seem to be an impossibility, to only discover, as an adult with a car, that impossibility disintegrates every inch of the open road that leads you towards Cornwall and the many beautiful cornwall cottage.

So what did we do when we had an opportunity to think about buying a holiday cottage to be used personally, and of course as a holiday let? Well, the first thing I could think about was to visit Cornwall, as for some reason, the final chosen location would have the words Cornwall in it! I knew in my mind and heart that was going to be the case, so no point wasting time looking in other counties. It was time to just get down to it.

I had seen over the Internet a holiday cottages that looked delicious, and for reasons unknown to me, this just kept coming round for my attention quite frequently. Well, not being superstitious or anything, I just decided to go and have a physical look and indeed found a wonderful set of cottages in a location outside Launceston called Tremeale Barn. Within the site were 8 delightful cottages, and of course, I was in the business of looking for cornwall cottage.

Long story short, I ended up dealing on all eight beautiful Cornish cottages, crazy I know, but Cornwall is such a gorgeous location, plus the grounds and scenery were fabulous, not to mention the swimming pool on site. This was a big move, taking over so many holiday cottages and the prospect of maintaining a pool, whilst my base was in London! Not for the faint hearted.

So now, we own most of Tremeale Barn which is right on the borders of Cornwall and Devon, providing a fantastic launch pad for all of Cornwall and Devon, including short journeys to some of the best beaches in the country. Visit us some day, you can find us on the Cornwall Sunshine website and if you don’t stay in one of our cottages, you should stay in Cornwall, and perhaps you and your children will also discover the magic that lies in the word 'Cornwall'.
