Stylish Holiday Rentals:

Aspects Holidays – With over 850 properties throughout Cornwall and offices dotted across the Duchy, Aspects Holidays is on hand to share the top Cornish holiday rentals. Whether that's living like a local in Newquay – where the cast of ITV's Playing Nice stayed while filming – or holing up in a hideaway in the wilds of the countryside, bagging a sea view penthouse, cosy fisherman's cottage, or private pontoon and pool, savvy staycationers book with Aspects.

Properties fresh to the portfolio include: Briton's Slip, Falmouth (sleeps 13), from £2,870 per week –  Britons Slip is one of Falmouth's most iconic and impressive waterside residences.

Festivals & Attractions:

The Great Estate, 30th May – 1st June 2025 – The Great Estate is a magical soirée of music, cabaret, and camaraderie. For three days, the luscious lawns and enchanting woodlands of the Scorrier Estate are whipped up into an eccentric extravaganza where human flamingos roam wild and oversized bumble bees greet guests in the gardens. 

This year, The Great Estate will welcome Supergrass, Happy Mondays, and Leftfield to the main stage plus the supersized silent disco, long table feast evenings, circus acts, swimming pool and sauna sessions, and thought-provoking talks.

Paradhis, 4th – 6th July 2025 – Set in the stunning grounds of Boconnoc Estate, this new wellness festival made its debut in 2024 with an empowering schedule designed to rejuvenate the mind, body, and spirit. From communal gatherings to one-of-a-kind transformative experiences, Paradhis Festival is a place where daily meditation circles, cold water plunges, and human mandalas meet soul-stirring musical acts, ecstatic dance, and sound baths. 

This year's event will be bringing the spirit of the 70s reggae movement with a headline performance from The Wailers.

Trebah Garden – One of the Great Gardens of Cornwall and rated among the eighty finest gardens in the world, Trebah Garden is the cumulative result of almost two hundred years of horticultural endeavour. Spread across twenty-six acres, this sub-tropical paradise is awash with colourful blooms, towering palms, and giant canopies, an oasis for plant enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Over four miles of winding footpaths take visitors through exotic plants down to the private Polgwidden Cove on the idyllic Helford River.

New for 2025, Trebah Garden is set to unveil its most comprehensive exhibition to date, chronicling the fascinating evolution of their remarkable valley garden through never-before-seen photographs, newly uncovered historical records, and fresh research. Opening on 10th May 2025, this landmark exhibition presents an in-depth exploration of Trebah's storied past, from the earliest records in the Middle Ages, to its transformation into a world-renowned sub-tropical garden, starting in the 1800s.
