Discover eco-conscious holiday homes in Cornwall, where thoughtful design, beautiful surroundings and a slower pace of travel come together in some of the county’s most considered stays.

Our Eco-Conscious collection brings together homes that place comfort, quality and connection to nature alongside a more grounded and considered style of escape, from contemporary coastal retreats to countryside hideaways designed to sit naturally within their surroundings.

Across the collection, you’ll find homes with features such as renewable energy, EV chargers, air source heat pumps, natural materials, energy-efficient design and carefully considered architecture.

Many also embrace slower living, with outdoor spaces, gardens and peaceful settings that encourage time spent outdoors and closer connection with Cornwall’s coastline and countryside.

These are places designed for more thoughtful escapes, whether that means walking the coast path from your doorstep, swimming in the sea, shopping locally, enjoying seasonal food or simply slowing down and spending more time outside.

Whether you’re planning a coastal retreat, countryside break or restorative escape with family and friends, our eco-conscious holiday homes offer a more considered way to experience Cornwall.

Slower stays shaped by Cornwall

Cornwall’s landscapes naturally encourage a slower, more connected style of holiday, from wild Atlantic beaches and open farmland to wooded creeks, quiet valleys and sheltered estuaries.

Days might be spent walking the coast path, swimming in the sea, browsing farmers’ markets, visiting local food producers or simply enjoying time outdoors.

From quiet winter retreats to summer escapes shaped by sea swims and outdoor living, Cornwall lends itself to more thoughtful holidays.

Many homes in this collection are carefully positioned to make the most of their surroundings, whether overlooking the coastline, tucked within the countryside or designed to sit quietly within the landscape.

A more thoughtful way to stay

An eco-conscious holiday is not about compromising on comfort.

It is about choosing homes that feel more connected to their surroundings and designed with greater care for people and place.

Many homes within the collection include renewable energy systems, natural materials, energy-efficient design and architecture that works in harmony with the landscape, while still offering the comfort, warmth and atmosphere expected from a luxury escape.

As a certified B Corp and Future Icons Award winner, we are committed to offering holidays that feel beautifully curated and more grounded in the landscapes and communities around them.
