Up the hill, over the ocean

WITH the surf – and surfers and sailors – in mind, this holiday house on the North Cornish coast has must-have mod cons for water enthusiasts, plus draw-dropping ocean views. Called Corduroy, it’s so new that it’s still being built.

It will be open for guests in July, but it’s open for bookings now.

On a hillside close to Polzeath and Daymer Bay, the five-bedroom house will have:

· An outdoor heated shower

· A wet kit drying area

· Two patios for al fresco dining

The house will be managed by Latitude 50, which has a portfolio of self-catering properties in Rock, Daymer Bay, Polzeath, and Port Isaac.

Pembrokeshire cottage restoration

THE NATIONAL TRUST (NT) has completed the restoration of Treleddyd Fawr Cottage, a Grade II listed property near St David's, and one of the last surviving examples of a traditional #Pembrokeshirecottage.

The one-bedroom cottage and its outbuildings, which date back to the early 1800s, is now on the market as a NT #self-catering holiday let.

The project was funded by the NT’s Neptune coastline campaign, and included essential building works, from underpinning to re-roofing, along with extensive interior repairs and decoration.

The property's simple two-up, two-down layout has been retained, with the downstairs comprising a parlour and living-dining room, and the upstairs with a double bedroom. 

The former dairy, attached to the back of the cottage, has been turned into a galley kitchen and bathroom. The cottage exterior has been lime-washed in a traditional clean yellow and Pembrokeshire soft blue.

Lighthouse holiday

MALTA’S National Trust has converted accommodation in a Victorian #lighthouse into apartments for holiday lets. 

Built on the island’s south coast in 1856, the Delimara Lighthouse has views of Marsascala Port, is close to two fishing villages, and is a few minutes’ walk from the rocky beaches and the waters of Peter’s Pool.

The simplicity of the keepers’ quarters has been retained: there are mosquito nets over each bed, the original stone elements in the kitchen have been kept, and the original limewash colour scheme has been replicated.

Each of the apartments – which can be rented individually or together – sleeps five.

Rates are €80 (£56.35) per day per apartment (although there are discounts for Din l-Art Helwa/National Trust of #Malta members) and a minimum stay of three nights is required. The proceeds from holiday rentals are used solely for restoration and environmental funds of the not-for-profit organization.

For booking information, send an e-mail to info@dinlarthelwa.org
