Luxury solo holidays in Cornwall

As Freya Stark once said, "to awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations." There's no travel quite like luxury solo travel. We love romantic getaways and big group gatherings as much as the next person, but we also know that inserting a little solitude into the schedule is the tried-and-true way to take well-being off the back burner. From a restorative stay at the ocean’s edge to a mindful long-let atop the cliffs of Whitsand Bay, where you can pen the beginning chapters of your novel, these coastal abodes wait for you with seafaring energy and luxury Cornish hampers.

Here are homes with main character energy; where protagonists sip wine on seaward terraces and twirl themselves around the kitchen table. For some, luxury solo holidays in Cornwall are about finding the mental (and physical) space to begin a creative project. For others, reading glossy magazines in the wood-fired hot tub, ambling from coffee shop to crab shack, and poking about in maritime antiques shops is all that's on the itinerary. From surf retreats in Cornwall's quietest bays to solo countryside adventures with your dog from the tiny hamlet of Retyn; here's to choosing for you, and you alone.
