Gorgeous skies and a hint of the golden orb already. Perfect for a relaxing Easter weekend in beautiful south-east Cornwall. We are fully booked this weekend but as the days get longer, it's time to treat yourself to that much needed break. The hedgerows and Cornish gardens are truly stunning at the moment and the light perfect for photography.
