Escaping the Chaos: Why Cornwall Calls

Life in the Luxuria Lifestyle world can be a little crazy at times. I’m not complaining—I love to be busy—but sometimes a quick escape is good for mental health. Cornwall is the ideal destination to blow away the cobwebs and recharge the batteries.

So when I was asked if I would like to experience a short stay in Sealight, a delightful clifftop holiday home, I jumped at the opportunity. My head needed a break away from the phone and laptop!

Discovering Sealight: A Bijoux Clifftop Gem

Sealight is just one of the dozens of home-away-from-home holiday rentals from Boutique Retreats. Located in the south of Cornwall near Whitsand Bay, I chose this holiday home for its position on the top of a cliff with sea views and for the beach walks.

Property Highlights

The property was quaint, ideal for a few days’ stay. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area was small but beautifully decorated and easy to maintain. It included everything needed for cooking, a dining table, and sofa for two, plus outside dining and—most important of all—a fabulous hot tub for two, of which I took full advantage. Sealight has speedy broadband, so if you feel the need to keep in touch with the outside world, you can. There was a shower room with a heated towel rail and a double bedroom with ample storage for a short stay. The large floor-to-ceiling patio doors meant I could enjoy a distant view of the sea. The lounge also has a wood burner, ideal for those cosy romantic evenings in this lovely little love nest.

Dog-Friendly Beach Adventures

One of the most important issues for me when I need a break is that I go where my four-legged best friend is welcome—and here he was. The beach walks were a draw, and from Sealight to the beach was quite a steep path. Luckily, there were plenty of benches on which to rest—mainly used on the trek back up—but the perfect spot to enjoy the stunning view. The beach here was stunning: gently rolling waves, lovely sand, and fabulous rock pools. My dog had a blast; we walked for miles when the tide was fully out. But beware—it can catch you unawares and come in quite quickly, and there are not any escape routes!

Exploring the Surrounding Area

The surrounding area is rugged, with stunning cliff walks, country pubs, and pretty traditional fishing villages. Out of season, it was quiet, but I would imagine the summer months are different. When the sun is shining, Cornwall is beautiful and ideal for a UK staycation.
