In need a girls trip! Secluded cottage or beach house?

Girls trip

Lets go disappear to a secluded cottage

Why choose a secluded cottage for a girls trip - what on earth is there to do?

Well Elsie Cottage is all about re-connection and un-winding. You'll arrive at Elsie's  to a warmed hot tub ready for a soak in with a chilled glass of bubbly to loosen the mood. Stick some tunes on the speaker and have a dance on the terrace, whilst cooking up pizza in the wood fired oven under the twinkling lights and the moon and stars.

Experiences

If you want to share new experiences together, there's a full and rich list. But not all experiences have to be paid for, a ramble through the woods, chatting side by side breathing in the fresh air listening to the birdsong with a picnic along the way may just be enough.

If you want to get a little more immersed - well the list of experiences is pretty extensive, here is just a flavour:-

• Get your hands dirty at Eastnor pottery for your own Throwdown competition.
• Fancy some country pursuits? Shot gun, target and pull the rigger with your personal coach, its not just Gentlemen that get fired up over over clay shooting.
• Forage, create and make - print, press and sketch, whilst chatting together, and all your worries and woes will be forgotten.
• Get pampered ,with a massage, and pamper kit, swan around in your robes whilst face packed up, nourishing cosy socks and graze on a platter of deli goodies.

If you are looking to indulge, we have BBQ and breakfast hampers and pizza making kits. Push a budget and add your own private chef too.

So seclusion doesn't have to equal dull or even quiet, but believe me, when you arrive at Elsie's cottage, the chances are you just want to kick back and stop. Nothing added.

Roll out of bed to the beach

Cornwall never disappoints for a girls trip away and Porthleven has a wonderful mix of fun, eateries and experience.

A stay at Anchor cottage is all about the sea, whether you decide to dip in it, or just watch as the waves make for a spectacle all on their own.

Here's a flavour of beach life at Anchor cottage:- rise to a morning dip and coffee on the beach. wander back to your cottage for a fry up or pastries on the terrace, whilst watching the world go by.

Take a wander into the village, maybe book a jewellery workshop to make a memorable keepsake or book a private massage or yoga class for the ultimate private retreat.

Porthleven offers lots of makers market stalls, baked treats and coffee stop offs. Like coffee at Bolla. But you may be tempted to go for cocktails and unbelievable seafood at the Mussel Shoal on the harbour front whilst watching the tide ebb and flow.

The evening brings plenty of choice of places to eat, from Kota Kai fusion to seafood at the Square, pizzas at Amelie's and Mexican at Cantina. Or for a blow out book a 6 course tasting menu at Kota.

Pub crawl your way around the harbour from the Shoal to the Brewery, Cantina for cocktails to The ship for banter and stagger home, light the fire pit and enjoy a toddy and chatter whilst the waves lap the shore.

Sunday you may need to blow the cobwebs away, so a cliff top walk to Loe bar might be just the tonic. If you are water babies, then a kayaking adventure along the coast or paddle boarding lesson in the harbour might be just the ticket.

If it's pampering you need, add a pamper pack and book an in-house massage, with a bottle of bubbly.

Whether its wholesome fun or a chance to let your hair down, Porthleven is the perfect girls getaway.
