Get cosy by a log fire and watch the waves roll in.
You may have come across hygge this winter. Pronounced hoo-ga, it’s a Danish lifestyle concept for the long dark winters, based around cosy ideals of food, friends and family and the simple things in life. So why not try your own hygge holiday this winter with two extra free nights from January through to March (excluding February half term).
Enjoy life’s (and Cornwall’s) simple pleasures this winter with our top five properties for a hygge holiday.
