Luxury Holiday Rentals

Designing elegant spaces that work effortlessly as part of a luxury, holiday lifestyle.

Kittiwake

This pair of Cornish fisherman’s cottages was a project completed for Michelin-starred chef Nathan Outlaw. Situated behind his eponymous Fish Kitchen in Port Isaac.

Pelagos

The location of this property is everything. Its elevated position above St Ives Bay affords views that span from Smeaton’s Pier all the way to the iconic Godrevy Lighthouse.

Hayle Bay

Within walking distance of the beach, colours were chosen to reflect the surroundings which were neutral in the main, but accented with deep blues and turquoise.

Serenity

Located just back from the breakers of Croyde Bay, Serenity is both a second home and luxury holiday rental with Beach Retreats. Its location is enviable; walking distance from the beach and the cool-vibe bars, restaurants and ice-cream parlours in the town, yet set back enough to have privacy and peace.

Pentire

Pentire, is an exceptional end-of-terrace property with breathtaking views across Fistral beach and beyond. We were commissioned by the owners to refresh and rejuvenate the design to reflect its closeness to the ocean.

Monterey

Nestled among the dunes, at the back of Porthtowan beach, Monterey is an elegant beach house where the views are everything. Built to exacting standards by the original owner, we were tasked with giving the interior of this five-bedroom property a refresh.

The Beach House, Mawgan Porth

We were given the opportunity by the client to undertake a complete renovation and restyle of this extraordinary property. Its position is breathtaking; elevated and with incredible views.

Kilter House, Coverack

A character property that can be found by venturing down a tree-lined track just above the Cornish fishing village of Coverack.

The Nook,
St Minver

As an investment property to be rented as a luxury holiday home, the challenge was to add both interest and functionality into a relatively small space.

Albany, Port Isaac

Once an old haberdashery shop this property had a lot of stories to tell as we peeled back the layers.

Melany, Polzeath

It was important not to obstruct the sea views nor detract from the natural surroundings and so we chose a palette of neutral tones inspired by seashells and sandy shores.

Clermont, Rock

Situated in the uber-cool town of Rock on Cornwall’s north coast, we were commissioned to undertake a complete internal refurbishment of this property.

Grandad’s Cottage, The Lizard

Working with a local team of builders, we revamped and refreshed the interior of the property as the main building was structurally sound, although a couple of the windows which had seen better days were replaced. Even though the owners lived away, regular video calls meant that the whole project was turned around in just five months.
