Last Friday we checked into The Straw Store at @seaforts_cornwall ✨ This unique holiday rental forms part of the Maker Heights heritage site, which is home to the most complete set of Napoleonic Barracks in the British Isles. Perched above the beautiful Cornish coastline, this reimagined studio space is perfect for creative types who want to take glamping to the next level. Equipped with a double bed and kitchen facilities, it’s a fabulous retreat for those looking to rekindle their imagination and soak up some untamed Cornish beauty. Elsewhere on site, there’s @thecanteenatmaker for breakfast or lunch, as well as @theguardhousecafebar where you can graze on local tapas & wines. Guests can explore the coastal path right on the doorstep or head into the beautiful #Cawsand village for a leisurely morning. This gorgeous rental does come with a disclaimer though: the toilets at The Straw Store are *outside* so be prepared for al fresco bathroom trips!
