300yr old Cornish Cottage for half term, anyone?
I was browsing the cottage sites, as you do (well, as I do… I have a shortlist of amazing £2000-a-night gems that I’ll go stay in One Day), when I spotted this lovely little place in Cornwall is still available for half term! I know! Laburnham Cottage is a cosy, beautifully refurbished 300-year old character cottage in the hamlet of Trewint, only a mile away from Altarnun, one of the most beautiful villages in Cornwall.

When LittleStuff went to Yorkshire – staying at Ing Heads
A few weeks ago we packed up the car and headed north, to spend half term in the Yorkshire Dales. I know, I know, it was February. But just look at Ing Heads, the cottage we were staying in. And the inside wasn’t too shabby either… So keeping those images firmly in mind we got up at mad o’clock and trekked 6hrs North.
