A pandemic is not something I ever imagined I'd live through and it has been a difficult year, but I firmly believe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. So maybe it's time to start looking at venturing out and taking a break somewhere beautiful to restore and soothe our souls. These timelessly stylish boutique-barns set in the heart of Cornwall, masterminded by Notting Hill-based House Nine Design, have a new world luxurious sophistication, blending architectural design and unique, bespoke interior styling.
Complete with burnt black larch wood and floor-to-ceiling glass frontages, some with rooftop hot tubs, the new boutique barns at The Meadows at Retallack Resort and Spa will provide an elevated level of holiday retreats on this waterside development.
After being cooped up with lockdowns, tiers and months of avoiding people or social distancing, here you can recharge your batteries, fling open doors, star gaze at night or breathe that fresh air with far reaching views.
A balanced mix of contemporary and vintage style...
I'm starting to dream about taking a break which includes jacuzzi bubbles in my own hot tub, fine dining, a spa and fresh country air. This might be just what we all need.
