Discover Cornwall’s most extraordinary holiday homes, a handpicked collection of luxury stays chosen for their scale, setting, design and sense of occasion.
Our Extraordinary Gems collection brings together some of Cornwall’s most impressive stays, from grand country houses and design-led coastal homes to private estates, converted barns and statement properties made for gathering in style.
These are homes designed for landmark occasions and long-awaited gatherings, whether that means milestone birthdays, multi-generational family holidays, reunions with friends or simply escaping somewhere that feels truly special.
Across the collection, you’ll find beautiful interiors, generous entertaining spaces, swimming pools, hot tubs, spas, cinema rooms, games rooms, expansive gardens and settings that feel wonderfully removed from the everyday.
Sleeping between 8 and 20 guests, these homes are designed for larger groups, with generous living spaces, beautiful bedrooms and room for everyone to come together in comfort. A number are dog friendly too, so four-legged family members can be part of the celebration.
Some sit beside the coastline with dramatic sea views and direct beach access, while others are tucked away in peaceful countryside surrounded by woodland, rolling landscapes and private grounds. Each one offers its own distinctive experience, designed for slow mornings, long lunches, celebratory evenings and time spent properly together.
Whether you’re planning a celebration, a luxury family gathering or an unforgettable escape with friends, our Extraordinary Gems collection showcases some of Cornwall’s most remarkable homes.
