British Travel Journal | Autumn/Winter 2023
There’s so much variety throughout this issue, bursting with breathtaking travel destinations, new hotels and extraordinary one-of-a-kind experiences. We cycle around Rutland’s 23-mile perimeter on a gourmet foodie trail, sleep under the stars in a wigwam surrounded by leopards at Port Lympne Safari Park in Kent, join an early morning meadowland wildlife walk and meet the resident bees of Calcot Manor in the Cotswolds, and spend a day enjoying magnificent gardens and cyder-making at The Newt in Somerset. Our journalists uncover the hottest new hotels while partaking in a nature-inspired pottery session at the Birch Selsdon and enjoying flower arranging at Cromlix with tennis star Andy Murray's wife Kim. My own travel highlights include walking across the Rhossili Downs, visiting the exquisite region of the Gower Peninsula and taking a dip in Tinker Bunny’s Bathing Pool during a luxury stay at Atlanta Trevone in North Cornwall. With so much to both see and do, it's time to get creative with our travel trips!

Polsue Farm House<br />
Close to St Mawes, this is a stunning country abode<br />
on the Roseland Peninsula. Follow the winding country<br />
lanes and arrive at Polsue Farm House, where nature<br />
takes centre stage and magical holidays are created.<br />
Experience off-the-beaten-track tranquillity at this truly<br />
breathtaking refurbished abode and enjoy the luxury of<br />
the location as you flip from rural to coastal in no time.<br />
Offering all you could need, choose from four beautiful<br />
bedrooms, four country-inspired bathrooms, and several<br />
spaces in which to relax and host families and friends. The<br />
garden is an oasis of botanical plants with a patchwork<br />
of terraces, paddocks, lawns and fields in which to<br />
spread out and explore. Once settled, head out into the<br />
Roseland Peninsula, to discover more of West Cornwall:<br />
the quintessential coves of Portloe and Portholland, the<br />
fishing heritage of Mevagissey, and the smart town of St<br />
Mawes, all just a short drive away.<br />
Meadow’s Nest<br />
Close to St Agnes, Perranporth, Callestick and the North<br />
Coast, this is an uplifting countryside retreat. Fashioned<br />
from the owners’ passion to create a characterful, backto-nature<br />
retreat, Meadow’s Nest is an idyllic haven for<br />
all those seeking escape from the everyday. Previously<br />
a bustling workshop, the space has been sensitively<br />
refurbished using repurposed materials, keeping the use<br />
of high-carbon materials to a minimum. From sinking<br />
into the copper bath and soaking up the green views to<br />
meeting the cows that frequent the neighbouring fields,<br />
Meadow’s Nest offers an experience that is totally unique<br />
and wholesome.<br />
Bosavallam<br />
Close to Padstow, Trevone and Wadebridge, this<br />
exemplary woodland abode made just for two is magical.<br />
It immerses its guests into nature, inspiring rest and<br />
wellbeing and ensuring a truly special stay. Settling<br />
into flora and fauna of the most beautiful woodland<br />
and orchard backdrop, the wooden pavilion has been<br />
creatively designed to blend into the surroundings and<br />
maximise the space and the light and ensure sublime<br />
comfort. Bosavallam (Cornish for ‘house in the orchard’)<br />
offers a spacious bedroom with panoramic woodland<br />
views, an open-plan kitchen and wraparound veranda<br />
with alfresco bar, veranda seating and, most impressively,<br />
the bespoke outdoor roll-top nickel-boat bath housed<br />
under a Cornish slate-lined alcove. From your holiday<br />
door, explore the beauty of North Cornwall, including<br />
Wadebridge, Rock and Padstow nearby or the golden<br />
sand beaches of Daymer Bay, Polzeath and Constantine.<br />
