to the January issue of Cornwall Living

ow that the festive season is over our thoughts are turning to how we can make the new year the best yet. With that in mind our cover feature this month (from page 20) is all about making some positi e changes to our food, fitness, fashion and finances with top tips on looking after your money, eating well, looking good and leading a healthy lifestyle; all while enjoying everything that Cornwall has to offer.

Now is also the time when many of you will be looking to book your next holiday. Our cover image this month was taken in one of my favourite holiday destinations, the Isles of Scilly. Isles of Scilly Travel (www.islesofscilly-travel.co.uk) connects you to cilly with short ight times or a leisurely sea crossing, making these magical islands really easy to access for a short break or a longer stay. This month I visit an incredible eco-property in south east Cornwall, ideal for large groups of family and friends – turn to page 56 to discover the natural beauty and design of The Cider Barn. We also have a selection of coastal and countryside cottages from page 62 and, if you’re looking to rent out your own property, then we’re delighted to introduce one of the UK’s leading, online holiday rental marketplaces, HomeAway from page 54.

The start of a new year is always a buoyant time for Cornwall’s property market, with unique and elegant homes coming up for sale. From page 26 you ll find stunning houses, some wth historic significance and others in ama ing locations, meaning your dream property could be just a few page turns away! If you’ve already found your forever home in Cornwall, but are looking to embark on a revamp or renovation over the coming year then, from page 41, you ll find in aluable ad ice from some of ornwall s leading property, interior and design companies.

Refresh your wardrobe

with Essa Collection We hear from Vanessa Stevens, curator and owner of Essa Collection, who tells us: “A wardrobe refresh will depend on how much you’re able to invest. It can easily be achieved with a change of scarves or accessories, although a well chosen top can mix with what’s already in your wardrobe giving a fresh look for the new year.” Vanessa emphasises that choosing items that already fit in with what you ha e will bring more wearability to all your outfits capsule wardrobe makes choosing what to wear each day simple, so you can dress with confidence.

And if you want help to build your wardrobe then the team at Essa are happy to search for the perfect style and colour, Vanessa explains: “Feel free to bring your favourites for us to match for you, our main concern is customer satisfaction and we’re always happy to help.”

Bluebird Care

For more information call 01326 572236 or visit www.essacollection.com

“Since losing my mum, over the last few years my father has made a considerable effort to get out and meet new people. But, as his eyesight deteriorated and he was forced to stop driving, his day-to-day activities became very restricted. Mentally he is as full of life as e er, but his confidence was knocked, finding it difficult to get about and keep on top of things at home. Our family all live miles away and understandably, he does not want to move away from the area he knows and loves.

After hearing about Bluebird Care through a friend, dad was happy to give it a go.”

Claire tells us: “The transformation has been amazing! Stella is friendly and professional and her and dad get on like a house on fire. he spends between fi e and eight hours a day with dad, and it’s been a

lifesaver for him. He doesn’t worry about how to get out and meet his friends, as Stella can drop him off, and if they pop round, she’s happy to make them a drink or a snack, which he thinks is wonderful.”

“Live-in Companionship Care won’t suit everyone, but the regular human contact and friendly face, not worrying about coping or caring for his home has been a life changer for dad. He says he feels 10 years younger! It’s also been a huge relief for our family, seeing dad being himself again, and knowing there’s someone there if he s unwell or can t find something, or simply wants to get outside and enjoy a sunny day.”

Holiday Home Waste Collection at your disposal If you’re a proud owner of a holiday home but find yourself rushed off your feet on changeover days, perhaps Holiday Home Waste Collection could be of service.

Cornwall Council’s new legislation now classes holiday home waste as commercial waste disposal, meaning domestic waste carriers no longer collect it. With this in mind, Holiday Home Waste Collection has introduced a collection service on all changeover days, offering a unique service and clean bins when guests arrive without having to sign on to a commercial waste removal contract.

Owned by Jennifer Brown, and run by family members, the company is an Environment Agency registered waste carrier, serving holiday lets all along the beautiful Camel Estuary, with new areas getting added weekly, and its incredible ser ice costs just . per bag.

This includes the bags, removal of general/recycling waste and glass recycling. Bins are also checked, cleaned and left with a new bin liner.

There are two options within this service, and both are proving to be extremely popular so make sure to get in touch to see which option will suit you better. Given the recent changes in legislation, it makes sense to arrange a waste disposal service that suits you, rather than paying for one that doesn’t, so why not give the team a call and streamline your schedule?

For more information call: 07814 934 978 or 01208 815060 or visit www.holidayhomewastecollection.co.uk

Holiday home tips In an ongoing series of holiday home tips, we hear from George at Cornish Traditional Cottages about how to treat your holiday home guests.

Once your property is ‘out there’, George explains, “enquiries should start to come in.

Although not all of them will result in a booking, you should treat them all as potential guests. This means responding professionally and promptly – always aim for a maximum of a few hours, same day if you can. Go that extra mile by offering extra information, or try to accommodate people by suggesting alternative arrangements if your property can’t cater for them on their chosen dates.”

One top tip George offers is that holidaymakers may enquire about several properties at once, so the quicker you respond, the more likely you are to secure the booking!

A key moment in your guests’ experience is when they arrive. “You may like to organise a personal meet-and-greet for your guests. This gives you the chance to get to know your guests, introduce them to your Cornish holiday home and answer any questions in person. If this isn’t practical or desirable (some guests prefer to let themselves in), make sure you have provided clear instructions on getting the key, and make the process as simple as possible.”

A happy New Year for

Ultimately, you want to make it your maxim to keep your guests as satisfied as possible with your holiday home. The happier they are, the more likely they are to return and recommend it to their friends.

Johnny Lawrence Personal Training

Fitness

Food

With the new year comes New Year’s resolutions and often these promises to better ourselves and rise to new challenges revolve around getting fitter, or simply being healthier.

Signing up to your local gym or health club is a great start, with a mixture of classes and gym e uipment at your disposal. r, if you need some guidance personal training could be the answer, as we disco er on page 68; Johnny Lawrence provides a tailored personal training ser ice from his studio gym, gi ing you the tools to commit to a healthier lifestyle and guiding you in the right direction for sustained change.

If you want to get outdoors and be more ad enturous with your fitness the National Trust hosts parkruns across ornwall, and there are monthly longer runs at Godolphin ouse. r, simply head to the South West Coast Path where miles of stunning clifftops, hidden coves and open countryside await – with the added benefit of being entirely free too. he thought of getting in the sea in January can be pretty daunting but the benefits of ocean acti ities are endless so why not learn to surf, SUP (Stand Up Paddle Board) or kayak this year? If you have no idea where to start then Wesup in Falmouth provide SUP classes and fitness sessions and Lizard Adventure provides kayaking, paddleboarding and surfing sessions all year round. nother fitness goal that many of us stri e to achie e is to gi e up smoking, and if this has become one of your biggest aims for 2019 then why not turn to Vape HQ for a healthier alternative? See page 48 for more details. r get in touch with Renewu Coaching for a more supportive solution where coaches guide you through the process of quitting (Find out more on page 68).

A great way to motivate yourself to begin a fitness journey is to ha e a goal in sight, signing up for a charity event to raise money for Cornish charities like Cornwall Hospice Care and Cornwall Air Ambulance (page 98) can pro ide that moti ation. hether you choose to do a sponsored run or even a skydive; having that ultimate goal to train for can provide the push you need to be more acti e, especially when it goes towards helping others.

Let’s face it – we’ve all probably eaten a bit too much over Christmas – who could resist that extra pig in blanket r another mince pie topped with lashings of Cornish clotted cream? But after all that indulgence, it s not surprising that our bodies begin to crave nutrientdense leafy greens, fruit and lean meats and if you want to make the process of finding healthy options even easier then here are some recommendations.

Riverford Organic boxes are deli ered to your door and arrive packed full of organic goodies with a ariety of root egetables, salads and e en fruit, it s the easy way to up nutrients this year and another massi e benefit most of the produce is not packaged in plastic. his also goes for local farmers markets or farm shops such as Trevaskis Farm Market where you can truly know the provenance of your food. hy not dedicate a small amount of time each week to make a meal plan, meaning you can a oid ad hoc naughty purchases and takeaways? pting to shop from no-waste stores like Un-Rap in Falmouth is another great way to reduce your waste and if you don’t live near Falmouth then the Incredible Bulk van brings ero waste solutions to you, setting up at different destinations around Cornwall to bring you their plastic-free products.

Drinking lots of water is an excellent way to ush the system of toxins and maintaining a high intake of water is also proven to help concentration with the recommended daily intake . litres for women and . litres for men this e uates to around eight glasses of water a day . sing a reusable bottle also means less plastic bottles are in circulation and it s cheaper to simply fill up from taps rather than buying from a supermarket. any caf s and restaurants across ornwall are also part of the efill tap water scheme, which you can find out by asking or through the Refill app. ll these steps, although small, can make a big difference to your diet and o erall wellbeing, from choosing organic local produce to drinking more water, it s a great way to get back into a healthy routine following the excesses of hristmas.

When it comes to our wardrobes, sometimes the excuse for a good clear out can not only re amp your clothing but also gi e you an emotional lift too. We’re all guilty of hoarding those items that we once adored but tend not to wear anymore packed full of memories it’s hard to donate your old clothes to charity but just think it means you can make way for a whole new selection of clothes to suit your current style, rather than clinging onto old garments that you don’t wear anymore. top tip that we e picked up to make the process of elimination easier is to do the hangers trick, face all your hangers in the same direction; then each time you wear a garment re erse the hanger. fter six months, re iew which items ha en t been worn and donate them to charity. Allowing you to really put your clothing to the test and see what items you could li e without. nother way to make choosing what to wear easier is to create a capsule wardrobe the first step is to create a list of what you need the clothing for. f you e got young children who are likely to get sticky hands on your clothes then a chiffon blouse just won’t cut it; equally if you need to dress to impress for work then smart clothes that can be mixed and matched for the week are a priority. he important thing is to choose a selection of items that will inter-mingle and all work together, gi ing you twice as many outfit options.

There’s been a lot of concern recently about the impact that the clothing industry has on the en ironment so make sure you recycle your old clothes by donating them to charities or clothes banks and try to shop from sustainable companies. Cornish clothing brands such as Finisterre and Seasalt offer clothing that is both functional and sustainable and ideal for all Cornish seasons.

If you’re a water baby at heart then Ann’s Cottage, Cornwall’s iconic surf shop, has locations across the county for all your surf and lifestyle clothing needs. inally, if you need some help with finding the right styles to suit you, then Cornwall’s selection of independent boutiques is a great place to start. ou ll find one of our fa ourites, Essa Collection, in our hometown of orthle en, where the helpful and attenti e staff are always on hand to discuss a new collection for your wardrobe.

The best of both worlds: a stunning and historic coastal estate provides a fantastic opportunity for anybody seeking a private country home close to the water.

S

teeped in history and in a superb setting near Mylor Churchtown, Porloe Farm is one of the most special and unique private homes in the Falmouth area. The house dates from 1763 and was built for packet ship Captain, Thomas Braithwaite, a ‘seaman of herculean proportions’, who lived a life of adventure on the high seas before eventually retiring to the peace and calm of Porloe. The present owners purchased Porloe Farm in 1994 and have since carried out thorough renovations, including the addition of a guest suite and bespoke conservatory in 2007. They haven’t, however, investigated claims of a secret passageway from the house to the creek, deciding instead to keep the mystery alive!

This Grade II listed Georgian farmhouse sits centrally within its grounds and is approached by a long driveway. The main house is charming and quintessentially English, retaining original features throughout. n the ground oor there is a kitchen/breakfast room with agstone ooring and an ga, drawing room, dining room, second kitchen/pantry, conservatory used as a second sitting room, boot room

and wine cellar, along with a guest bedroom with adjoining study and bathroom. To the first oor is the master bedroom suite with dressing room and bathroom, and two further bedrooms.

The property has 19 acres of formal gardens and grounds, including paddocks, a sand school, a tennis court and woodland.

There are a number of outbuildings at orloe arm including a home office, two large barns, stables with fi e looseboxes, two tack rooms and a feed store. track (suitable for a vehicle and trailer) leads down to a right of way over Church Road and to the water’s edge, while the grounds enjoy views towards the water.

Porloe Farm really is a rare gem, a small country estate close to some of the county’s finest sailing waters and boating facilities.

of its original build. The river views that this home’s excellent position affords can be enjoyed from the majority of rooms, both in the main house and the three-storey cottage annexe, not to mention the wonderful, lovingly tended gardens.

Downstairs, at the heart of the home, you’ll find an open plan bespoke kitchen/sitting room area, while the reception-come-dining room opens out invitingly onto the sun terrace and gardens. There is also the most cosy snug area, with a woodburner that’s perfect for those cooler winter evenings.

The attached cottage has three further bedrooms, a large kitchen and a delightful sitting room. This could be lived in by a dependent relative, or used for a lucrative holiday let. A former Coach House has planning consent and been partially converted into a cosy one bedroom unit, but would also make an excellent office or work space.

From the nearby riverbank you can gain access to the wealth of watersports that the area has to offer and, with Cornwall’s capital just minutes away, you’ll be well set to enjoy the fine food, culture and big highstreet names that Truro has to offer.

The Old Vicarage is truly unlike anything else on the Cornish market and therefore unlikely to remain there for long, so if you’d like to find out more, be sure to contact Rohrs & Rowe and book your viewing.

PLANNING FOR

YOUR RETIREMENT Retirement is a time for you to do the things you’ve always wanted. Thinking about these things early could help when deciding the best way to take your pension savings.

T

he very concept of retirement has changed. ‘Phased retirement’ is becoming more common; the way we access our pension is now much more exible, and in the we re li ing longer than ever before. A longer retirement and more choice over how you take your pension require planning ahead to ensure you’re on track to a financially secure future.

Although you may have retired from fulltime employment, you may wish to earn money from part-time work. Besides the State Pension, consider any other income sources you ll ha e when you finish working full-time and find out when they commence.

Perhaps you have children or grandchildren that you plan to help through further education, or onto the property ladder. ow will you pro ide this financial support in retirement?

Leading a healthy lifestyle can help ensure you ll be fighting fit during your retirement.

However, ill health can strike at any time.

It’s important to factor things like medical costs into your financial planning. ater, you may also need to pay for residential care for yourself, your partner or parents.

The amount you have in savings may in uence what you ll need from your pension, too. Is this enough to live on? If you own a home, you may decide to sell it and move somewhere that better suits your lifestyle needs. You’ll also need to think about how you would pay for a new property, factoring in any repair costs to a new or existing home.

The way you choose to take your pension can impact things like your tax position or pension allowances. If you choose to move provider, you may lose any guarantees that you may have with your existing pension provider.

You should also think about the impact that taking any tax-free cash, income or lump sums may ha e on any means-tested benefits you currently receive. he effects of in ation may reduce the buying power of your savings and investments in the future, so think about how you’ll maintain your lifestyle if your money doesn’t stretch as far.

The ways that you can take your pension savings changed in April 2015, giving you greater choice over how you can access and use the money you’ve saved up. Deciding what to do with your pension is a big decision.

YOU CAN TRUST Looking to extend your living space? We find out why a trip to Four Seasons Home Improvements should definitely be on your New Year agenda. é TOP

Enjoy your very own stunning new extension

RIGHT Extend your home in ways you didn't know were possible!

INSET The brilliant Four Seasons team

I

n our last issue we met Spencer and Pete, founders of Four Seasons Home Improvements, who told us a little bit about their stunning showroom just two minutes off the A38. Featuring a wide range of conservatories and orangeries all fully set up, it’s perfect if you’re looking to visualise a contemporary extension in your own home.

This month, keen to know more about what sets this fantastic company apart, we catch up again with Spencer who tells us a bit about the team. hen we first started out, we head hunted the best fitters we could find the most experienced and trusted in the south west and now, we firmly belie e that our -strong team of elite installers is the most experienced in the region. eryone on the installation teams is an ualified aster onser atory nstaller each is fully covered and insured which, put very simply, means your new extension is in very safe hands.”

After an initial site visit at your home and creating a series of CAD drawings for you to visualise your new extension, Spencer explains that the next stage is a visit from one of Four Seasons’ Technical Surveyors. “Our Technical Surveyors essentially take your chosen style and begin creating the structure, basically turning your vision into a reality. Our structural engineers then check that the project meets or exceeds modern building regulations.”

Perhaps most impressive is how the team take care of absolutely everything. As we discovered last issue, the Four Seasons experience is a one-stop shop. hat we didn t realise was that this also covers taking care of building regulations and planning permission. Impressive!

Spencer also tells us that “a lot of people have enjoyed their extensions for years but now find they re too hot in summer and yet too cold for the majority of the year. A lot of people don’t realise they can dramatically impro e the thermal efficiency of their existing conservatory by simply having a new energy efficient roof installed.”

It pays to know that you can put 100% faith in the team you’re paying and, approved by hich rusted rader as an fficial ltra Installer’, it’s fair to say you can’t go wrong with an extension from Four Seasons. As Spencer puts it: “You’re only going to install it once, so why gamble with the people you’re paying to do it?”

A SPLASH OF Make 2019 the year you introduce some colour to your home with help from the experts a Collington & Co.

A

t Collington & Co, the team designs and installs bespoke windows, doors and conservatories, offering a wide range of uPVC, composite and aluminium products that are made to complement the style of your property perfectly, whatever its character.

Company owner, Colin, tells us: “Supplying a range of designs and glass options, we now also offer a whole range of colours for all windows, doors and conservatories.”

He continues: “Our low maintenance, highly-robust colour finish is designed to stay looking good year after year. You have the option to choose one colour for the outside and either the same or a different colour to match the inside.”

In order to have the perfect bespoke colour finish, you simply need to find a colour name and number from either RAL or Farrow & Ball. Colin explains: “Once we have the product and colour information it will enable us to quote your perfect coloured product in uPVC, composite or aluminium – the choice is yours!

“Our products have a rating of A+++ for ultimate thermal performance and a comfortable home. What’s more, they’re attractive and require very little maintenance.

Our windows and doors come fully steel reinforced, making them ultra secure, and they are designed with a narrower frame, allowing optimal light and solar gain.”

It may come as no surprise then that this elston based firm recently became a member of the uy with onfidence scheme initiated by Cornwall Council, members of which adhere to the highest standards across all aspects of their business. So if you’re looking to upgrade your doors and windows while adding a splash colour to your home, it’s fair to say you’ll be in safe hands with Collington & Co.

Just one example of the team’s innovative work in Bude

O

riginally founded in 1995, the team at Bude Windows and Conservatories originally set out to fill a gap in the market in north Cornwall.

He shows us two recent installations that showcase the sheer uality and attention to detail that Bude Windows has become known for. he first installation in ude utilises eynaers aluminium bi-folding doors and ecueninck ush sash u windows, all with integrated blinds, and it s fair to say that the final result is simply stunning, complementing the property s bright coastal location beautifully.

he second project in ol ed the construction of a diner extension with a solid Guardian roof in Holsworthy, Devon. gain, capitalising on the est ountry s natural light, it s easy to understand why most of ude indows and onser atories business comes from recommendations. aniel explains t s not just our meticulous attention to detail and expertise with the products and materials we use we pride oursel es on our exceptional aftercare service too, which we believe is just as important as the work itself. e couldn t agree more! f you re looking to update your home, whether with stunning, state-of-the-art windows and doors, or with an all-new conservatory or orangery, be sure to give the team at Bude Windows and Conservatories a call. f you re still unsure, why not head to the website and read the team s glowing testimonials for yourself?

aving the skill to transform concept into design is no mean feat but Nigel Hefferman at Nigel Hefferman Designs Ltd makes it seem effortless, creating analytical scale drawings of your dream home, ready to be built to your exact specifications. e hear a first hand account of what it takes to be an architect from Nigel, who tells us: “Art college taught me to have a very open and broad outlook when designing anything in three dimensional form. iscipline in Architectural Design is essential and the greats, like alladio, in uence our approach and understanding of proportion and elegance, which can be seen in Egyptian, Greek and oman buildings.

To be able to accurately translate the measurements and scale of a building is quite a talent, and seeing your concept from design through to completion is an incredibly rewarding process. ach undertaking has its individual brief no matter how big or small and clients receive from me an artistic visual or perspective to indicate the style proportion and character, in my opinion computer generated imagery often fails to really do a drawing justice so I generally work at concept stage using the old methods but then convert into CAD (Computer Aided Design) for on going layouts and ser ices, explains igel.

Through his extensive portfolio of projects Nigel has gained valuable insight into the structure of different buildings and what can really make a design stand out. a ing worked on many designs for clients throughout the UK and in Cornwall, Nigel tells us: “I’ve been lucky

enough to work on everything from challenging commissions to design extensions, makeovers, bespoke properties and renovations on Grade listed historic buildings, fabulous palaces, boutique hotels abroad, country houses and sports pa ilions.

COASTAL RETREAT John Bray Cornish Holidays offer over 300 stunning selfcatering properties in north Cornwall’s most beautiful settings.

ABOVE Take that long-awaited family break on the north coast é

F

rom luxurious contemporary homes with hot tubs, to beachside retreats with breathtaking ocean views, you’ll find your dream beach holiday on the rugged north coast.

With pristine beaches and an unspoilt coastline, you couldn’t ask for a better holiday destination. Just an hour from London to Cornwall Airport Newquay, or two and a half hours by car from Bristol, you could be on the sand before you know it.

Take in the spectacular sea views from your holiday home-from-home or hit the water for thrills and spills. Whether you want to experience an adrenaline-fueled surf or a calm evening paddleboard, every water sport you could wish for is available on your doorstep. On dry land, you can enjoy worldclass golf, cycling and inspiring coastal walks.

Imagine opening up the French doors to your private balcony and watching the tide gently ebb and ow, or stepping out into a secluded garden to fill your lungs with fresh sea air. Many of the holiday homes are fitted with log burners and open fires too, so whether it’s just the two of you, or you’re watching a movie with the kids, John Bray’s stylish holiday homes are great for a cosy night in.

Since all of John Bray’s family friendly holiday homes are privately owned, each offers a unique experience. Swap your daily

routine for al fresco meals and lazy evenings on a sheltered terrace; gather up family or friends for a cookout in the balmy evening sun. On those days where you don’t feel like cooking, you ll find a fantastic selection of restaurants and bars all within walking distance offering a rich taste of Cornwall, from delicious surf and turf, to Michelin starred tasting menus and hearty pub classics.

Dogs are also welcome in over 140 of the homes and the beautiful beaches of Rock, Port Isaac, Daymer Bay and Greenaway are dog friendly all year round. Out of season, you can also enjoy long walks together on Polzeath beach, while in the summer we recommend lacing up your boots and exploring the South West Coast Path.

Whether it’s a long-awaited family holiday, a romantic break, or a last-minute coastal escape, there’s nothing like spending time by the sea. With over 45 years’ experience, why not let John Bray Cornish Holidays help you find your perfect seaside retreat

ARE YOU

missing out ?

We discover that it’s never been easier to start capitalising on Cornwall’s growing holiday market thanks to online holiday rental marketplace, HomeAway.

I

t’s fair to say that the word has well and truly spread that Cornwall is the place to be for those looking to explore rugged coastlines, uaint fishing illages and long country walks. It’s also a go-to destination for art and food lo ers and yet, despite all of this, there is a whole world of untapped potential for Cornish homeowners – potential to make a significant additional income.

This is where HomeAway comes in.

HomeAway is a world-leading holiday rental marketplace, maximising the potential of both second homes and primary residences in key tourism locations around the world. hether you li e in ornwall or own a second home here, simply renting it out when it would otherwise be acant could garner significant amounts of income. fter all, you e worked hard to buy your ornish home – isn’t it time it started earning its keep?

This potential additional income could then be put towards a number of things, whether it’s helping to pay off your mortgage, gi ing your home that long-desired interior makeo er, or e en co ering the cost of your family break!

By now you’re almost certainly wondering ‘what’s the catch?’ and honestly, it’s hard to find one. e ll admit that we asked oursel es the same question, which is why we decided to do a little digging.

Firstly, HomeAway’s online dashboard and 24-hour support mean you can keep track of e erything pertinent to you and your property, in one place, and ha e any questions answered in moments. There’s also an easy to use mobile app, allowing you to do all this on the go.

Most importantly, you can try it once and if it s not for you, that s fine. f it is, great ou can keep renting your property as much or as little as you like and stop whene er you see fit. he options are exible and it only takes a few minutes to list your property.

have lived in Cornwall all my life and it never ceases to amaze me that after all these years m still finding new, undisco ered places.

And so it is when I set off to discover the Cider arn, a uni ue, eco retreat nestled deep in the ornish countryside, yet only a -minute walk from the beach. lo e the anticipation and journey to a new place and this promises to be a great one y route takes me through ar and then out on the winding road that leads on to owey. owe er, m not destined for this well-known ornish harbour, as a hidden turn off takes me down a pri ate country lane and the further dri e, deeper into the lush ornish landscape, the more am certain this is going to be a wonderful disco ery. y destination is the ider arn, an exclusi e holiday property, sleeping , which has been lo ingly restored and beautifully decorated by owners raham and eather. t the end of the lane a large gate opens on to an expansi e parking area where am met by raham. s step out, what takes me most by surprise is the air of uiet. o road noise, no oices, just the whispering of a gentle bree e in the trees and the sound of birdsong. et in fi e acres of land, the grounds, ponds and orchards are on the ashleigh state, with its nearby house enabilly, the one-time home of aphne u aurier and the inspiration for anderley in her no el Rebecca. he history and pro enance here is tangible, making you feel special from the moment you arri e. he ider arn and the owner s ill both nestle below

DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT This glowing review from a previous visitor to the Cider Barn says it all:

é ABOVE There is room for everyone to relax in style in the open-plan living area

BELOW Movie nights don't get more comfortable than this

The hardwood front door opens with a satisfying weight to reveal the open-plan ground oor. aking full use of the substantial internal space, Graham and Heather have created an expansive kitchen, dining and living area. The centre of the kitchen is dominated by a large island unit, which doubles as a breakfast bar with high stools. They say ‘the devil’s in the detail’ and that’s certainly the case here. It’s no mean feat to cater for 16 but it’s made easy here with not one, but two ovens and two dishwashers! It’s sometimes the case that large holiday homes can sleep the full party but struggle when it comes to seating. Not the case here, the dining room table is simultaneously vast and impressive. The sleek glass top sits on two enormous, upturned teak roots, creating a fantastic centrepiece to the room.

A central wooden staircase separates the dining area from the cosy living space. Three sink into sofas surround a central fireplace that sparks our conversation about the barn’s eco credentials. raham explains that the fire is not just for aesthetic purposes; while it burns bright in the winter months it helps to top up the hot water supply as the barn is, for all intents and purposes, off-grid.

A solar heating system sits on the barn’s roof, supplying a state of the art internal heating and cooling system that keeps the barn warm in winter and cool in summer. his also filters all of the air that comes into the barn, so that even when you're inside you're breathing fresh, clean Cornish air. All impurities, including pollen, are removed making this a great place to stay for allergy sufferers. Water comes from the ill s own spring while the wood for the fire is coppiced from Graham’s own trees, a supply he maintains by replanting every year.

But you would never know that this technology was in play; control panels are hidden away, as is any super uous cabling and in the main living area there’s not a screen in sight. ut don t despair, film buffs can get comfy on one of the biggest sofas I have ever seen in the TV snug room that is hidden away at the far end of the barn – great for movie nights or to entertain the children.

Local artwork adorns the walls while carefully chosen lighting and accent ornaments complement the calming, neutral colour schemes. I’m intrigued as to where the inspiration for the barn’s interior decoration

Anya Rice Photography

"We had a fantastic week here. Graham and Heather were so welcoming and couldn't do any more to make our stay any better. The house is stunning, finished to the highest standard and easily accommodated 16 of us with lots of space in both bedrooms and living area. The open plan kitchen, dining and living room area with its wood burner and endless log supply are great. The outside kitchen with wood fired pizza oven was fantastic fun. The pool is as big as our local swimming pool but a lot warmer, with the hot tub like a bath! Fowey and the surrounding area with its coastal walks are beautiful and the beach at Polkerris with its pub on the beach should not be missed, food there is really good. Can't recommend this place highly enough, we will certainly be going back!" - Andrew R.

I don’t think I would want to venture far from this ha en of calm, relaxing on the patio with a good book and the birds for company would suffice. owe er, should you feel the need to explore you can take a 20-minute stroll along the Saint’s Way to nearby Polkerris beach, one of ornwall s prettiest stretches of sand, or head to the sailing mecca of owey in the opposite direction. Both boast some great places to eat, ser ing the freshest seafood and local Cornish tipples. he ider arn is welcoming, luxurious and calming in equal measure.

Raising the bar when it comes to self-catering luxury for a large group of family or friends, this is the ideal eco ‘away from it all’ escape.

Graham tells me that it has been entirely furnished from the family’s business Rustic House – an interiors company specialising in bespoke wooden furniture.

The elegance and comfort extends upstairs. e en of the bedrooms are on the first oor, with the other on the ground oor and all combine comfort with style. Each piece of bedroom furniture has been handmade from reclaimed wood and even the doors are crafted from 100 year-old teak. Heather has added her personal touch to each of the rooms with splashes of colour and the en suites and family bathroom are exquisite.

And that’s just the inside of the barn! Outside this wonderful holiday home just keeps on giving at every turn. The patio is replete with the highest quality teak steamer loungers topped with thick, comfy cushions. ere you can lie back and relax in the calming countryside and if the spectacular summer we had this year is a promise of things to come then the wonderful outdoor kitchen, complete with wood-fired pi a o en will come into its own.

The outdoor kitchen and seating area is equipped with everything you would want to cater for , including a fridge, sink with hot and cold water and a full set of crockery.

Enjoying some al fresco dining is certainly on the menu at the Cider Barn.

And if the weather’s not so kind then guests ha e the use of the indoor pool, also off-grid and

Port Gaverne is also one of the most popular wild swimming spots in the area!

For eating out, the multi award-winning Port Gaverne Restaurant & Hotel is just next door, dating back to the th century and specialising in local produce — particularly seafood and delicious local ales.

Gaverne PORT

We discover the perks of staying in one of Forever Cornwall’s welcoming Port Gaverne properties.

W

hile it may be small, Port Gaverne has plenty to offer visitors, with two fantastic restaurants, a dog-friendly co e and the popular fishing illage, ort Isaac, just moments away. Put simply, it’s the ideal base for exploring the rugged north Cornish coast. What’s more, with ten unique cottages and apartments all in Port Gaverne, Forever Cornwall has a retreat in this picture perfect cove to suit everyone.

If you’re after a foodie break, these cottages couldn’t be in a better location; in moments you can stroll to Port Isaac and experience exquisite dining at Restaurant Nathan Outlaw. Famed for its seafood taster menu, this Michelin starred restaurant is the perfect place for a celebration or romantic treat for two. Or, if you’re accompanied by children, why not follow your nose to the Angry Anchovy and take a seat for an excellent pizza and (for the adults) a Cornish craft ale.

In the heart of the hamlet is Port Gaverne Restaurant & Hotel. Voted Cornwall’s best gastropub, this fantastic establishment was recently awarded the Michelin Plate. The local team serve Cornish produce wherever possible, and everything comes fresh and absolutely delicious. You can also try a

range of gins, taste local ales and let the bar staff recommend a fine wine, of which there are plenty to choose from!

But it’s not all about food here. Outdoor enthusiasts will also be pleasantly surprised by the extent of activities this beautiful hamlet has to offer. With miles of coastal footpath on your doorstep, the excellent north coast surf and some of the best beaches in Cornwall, you won’t be left short on things to do. Why not let Cornish Rock Tors give you an expert lesson in coasteering, kayaking, paddleboarding or wild swimming in and around Port Gaverne’s sheltered cove? Or, if you’d rather be watching the water than in it, cross the little bridge overlooking the cove as you walk out to ‘the Main’ – the locals’ name for the headland.

If you’re visiting with your four-legged friend, you’ll be pleased to know that Port Gaverne is dog friendly all year round.

Directly behind two of Forever Cornwall’s apartments you can join the coastal path and walk along the dramatic clifftops towards Tintagel – a brilliant way to tire them out.

It’s a great place for families too, especially those looking to enjoy a bucket and spade holiday by the sea. As the tide

And, because it’s so well sheltered, it’s great for kids to explore. If you’re looking for somewhere where they can really run free, simply drive a few miles west to Polzeath, where you’ll find a surfer s ha en with lifeguards and clean surf, as well as a fantastic family beach. Alternatively, for something a little more secluded, seek out Tregardock beach.

Roughly a 20-minute walk from the road, fantastic surf and a stunning waterfall await, and the fact that there’s often hardly anybody else there makes it well worth the effort of getting there.

with Johnny Lawrence Personal Training

We catch up with Jill about her family’s experience with the Renewu programme. y husband smoked for years. e first tried to stop when I was diagnosed with cancer at 29. I was overjoyed but six months later he was lighting up again. A series of failed attempts, nicotine replacements and vaping followed, accompanied by frustrations, guilt and shame; heightened by the birth of each of our three children.

We all have those moments when a bit of over-indulgence can suddenly turn into a habit; we excuse our lack of exercise because it’s too cold and dark or maybe even because we don’t have the knowledge to make the most of a gym membership. If this sounds familiar, or even if you simply want to learn more about fitness so you can ha e a more varied regime, then personal training could be the answer. Often the excess of Christmas is the kick-start we need to make a change and so it couldn’t be a better time to start thinking about how to move forward.

ill continues fter just fi e hours with Renewu the difference was remarkable!

They helped him to dispel the so-called benefits he had thought he was getting from smoking and exposed the contradictory thoughts every smoker has, allowing him to genuinely want to stop. As he says, ‘removing the doubt and fear made it easy

demanding job, you’re holding onto some baby weight, or you simply want a better understanding of what works for you, the first step is to decide to make a change.

Johnny has recently opened his own studio gym and provides one-to-one training for his clients with a philosophy that revolves around understanding what works for you.

“Don’t be too hard on yourself, take it one day at a time, commit and you will see results. a ing the freedom of his own gym space means that Johnny isn’t restricted by gym times, rules or membership fees, so he can focus on the most important aspect – helping you to succeed.

Get ahead of the gardening game

Emily Whitfield-Wicks

As we settle into the New Year, it’s a joy to plan for the gardening season ahead. Bodmin Nursery suggests some projects you can start this January.

If the weather is poor, give your greenhouse and pots a good clean – nothing beats being ready to go when the weather starts to pick up! Winter prune any apples and pears – good for shaping and possibly the tree’s health. You can buy your seeds too, ready to commence sowing. It’s also a perfect time to plan your summer- owers such as lilies and dahlias.

ear

If you love growing your own, look out for new-season seed potatoes, as well as onion sets, shallots and garlic. Fruit bushes such as raspberries, gooseberries and blackcurrants can also be planted now.

The knowledgeable and enthusiastic Bodmin Nursery team is always happy to help you and your garden, so why not pop in and make a start?

dental practice that’s proud to do things differently, Wadebridge Dental has a boutique feel that’s more akin to a high-end spa.

Owners Melissa and Andrew Taylor and their hardworking team have worked tirelessly to incorporate state-of-the-art equipment into the practice, offering a combination of dental treatments and facial aesthetics that complement each other perfectly.

So what can they do for you? Among the long list of available treatments are dental implants. These are an attractive solution for anyone seeking effective tooth restoration. You may also wish to have your teeth whitened. This is one of the easiest cosmetic treatments, achieving fantastic, confidence-boosting results. hat s more, it’s not as expensive as many people think, and results are long-lasting!

To complement your dental work and achieve your desired youthful and natural appearance, Wadebridge Dental offers facial aesthetic treatments, including anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers, which can be used to treat frown lines between your eyebrows, crow’s feet or smile lines around your eyes, and horizontal forehead lines. On top of all this, you can also enjoy the benefits of ZO Medical Skincare. With clinically proven results, ZO Skin Health delivers innovative skincare solutions that optimise skin health based on the latest advances in

skin therapy technologies. One happy customer had this to say: “I have now seen such a huge difference in my skin in such a short space of time. My complexion is so much more even and now feel more confident when not wearing makeup. I can’t recommend the products enough!”

For many, a trip to the dentist goes handin-hand with seeing the hygienist, but at Wadebridge Dental, everyone is welcome to see the hygienist – you don’t need to be registered with a dentist. And, if you are registered with a dentist, your children can be seen for free – just one of the many perks!

From general dentistry, teeth whitening and seeing the hygienist, to dental implants, dermal fillers and e en skincare, adebridge Dental is more than your average dental practice. You may be worried about the cost of private dentistry, but with special offers, discounts and payment plans available from £8.99 per month, you may be surprised at just how affordable it can all be.

reating a beautiful home environment is what we all aspire to. In the spaces we occupy every day, each picture, chair and textile design can tell a story, and nothing says ‘you’ more than a specially commissioned work.

For glass designer Jo Downs, bespoke works are a passion. 20 years of creating spectacular installations for hotels, ocean liners, city headquarters and private homes have given her the skills and experience to create, as she puts it, “just about anything you can think of in fused glass. There’s never been a bespoke idea I haven’t spun into something real for my client – into a work that delivers the essence of what they first imagined. ndeed, o er two decades, o s clients imaginations have truly put her to the test. Previous commissions have included room-sized installations, spectacular glass ceilings and intricate swimming pool surrounds. n , o created her first multi-piece chandelier, wowing London design event, Decorex, with a showcase of elegant designs. Then, in 2018 she accepted a request from the United Arab Emirates’ Grand Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel & Residences Emirates Pearl to create multiple giant glass oyster shells, complete with iridescent glass pearls.

“Every year new challenges come my way, allowing me to push the boundaries of what’s possible. m an artist first and foremost, so working to create unique pieces that are meaningful to my client is my greatest moti ation.

Mindful of the emotional investment inherent in the commissioning of bespoke works, Jo’s focus is on a close partnership with each of her clients, and the knowledge that clients wish to express something of their own identity through their design choices. orporate commissions, for example, must re ect the aspirations of that business, o explains, while domestic commissions are designed to re ect the interests and personality of the family who created that home. Each project is a partnership – a coming together of my clients’ hopes and what’s possible, even only theoretically – in the discipline of fused glass. Whatever the idea, there’s always a conversation to be started, and then taken forward with enthusiasm To learn more about bespoke commissions, why not give Jo and her team a call?

FINDING

SUPPORT

We hear from Sarah Atkinson who discusses how to find the support you need when going through a divorce.

é ABOVE

Stephens Scown’s family team in Truro

INSET Sarah Atkinson and Mark Chanter from Stephens Scown are both noted practitioners in independent legal guide, Chambers UK

T

he breakdown of a marriage can be one of the hardest things someone will face in their life. Having the support of an experienced lawyer you can trust is crucial. We discover why in a discussion with leading family lawyer, Sarah tkinson, who explains how to find the right lawyer for you. y is i i r an fin e rig la yer s i y an y r nee s “During a divorce you will be dealing with the emotional impact of a broken relationship but it s important to find the energy to deal with the practical issues too.

Having a lawyer with the right experience, who you can trust to have your best interests at heart, is so important.”

H can y fin a g a ily la yer “Recommendations from friends and family are a good place to start. There are also two independent guides to the legal profession, which rank lawyers based on feedback from clients and other professional advisors.

These are called Chambers and Legal 500, and can be used as a good research tool.” a are e ali ies y s l l r in a a ily la yer “Family law is complex and many lawyers specialise in certain aspects. For example, at Stephens Scown, several of my colleagues and I specialise in divorces involving complex

financial arrangements such as pensions, trusts and business structures. Others in our team have expertise in issues affecting children following a relationship breakdown or abusive relationships. We then pull together if our clients need advice on both areas to ensure they get the best advice.”

H c ill i c s “We offer a range of hourly charge rates and our senior team members work with junior team members to offer a cost-effective service – offering good value for money is important to us.”

The growing family team at Stephens Scown is among the largest in the region and has top tier ranking in Legal 500. Not to mention that two of the team – Sarah Atkinson and Mark Chanter – are recognised as notable practitioners by Chambers. For more information, make sure to get in touch and gain the support you need when going through a divorce.
