'Staycations' are set to be bigger than ever this year, with millions of UK families hitting the British countryside for a home-grown break.
And one of the most popular destinations for this spring and summer is the South West.
If you're thinking about treating yourself to a cottage holiday, Cornwall is a destination with a difference.
It's a charming mix of ancient and contemporary, rugged and lush, mystery, history and some of the best sunny weather the UK has to offer.
Cottages in Cornwall are perfect for exploring this magical county.
Wherever you are in Cornwall, you're never far from the sea.
Inland, cutting through typical winding lanes with high hedges, you'll find yourself experiencing unexpected stunning sea and coastal views.
The the air is refreshingly salty and beautifully clean.
Because light pollution is minimal, the night skies are awash with stars.
And the beaches are breathtakingly beautiful, whether it's the surfers' paradise of Newquay or the county's countless secret, hidden coastal caves and coves.
Cornish holiday cottages come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
From basic to luxurious, family and pet friendly to adult-only retreats, based on the coast or inland.
Most people prefer somewhere that provides a genuine home from home.
Good facilities are a must unless you're into roughing it.
And comfort is vital whether you're visiting for a summer beach holiday or surf-based break, off season hiking holiday or winter adventure complete with outdoor pursuits.
It also helps if your Cornish holiday cottage has its own grounds so you can soak up the sun and relax in privacy.
A garden's particularly important if you're taking the kids along, providing somewhere for them to play out before bed when the weather's warm.
Imagine.
You're sitting at a garden table with a cool glass of wine or beer.
The sun's going down.
You've had a fantastic day and now you're enjoying the feeling of being truly relaxed for the first time in ages.
All your troubles have slipped away...
that's Cornwall!
