Discovering The Cornish Place Cornwall

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Cornwall’s countryside, The Cornish Place offers more than just a holiday stay—it’s an experience steeped in rustic charm. Each beautifully designed outbuilding is made for rest, reconnection, and cosy moments with nature. From woodburning stoves to soft wool throws, it’s the perfect Cornish winter hideaway.

Winter Wreath Workshop in Cornwall with Sophie Flowers

Our winter adventure was made even more magical with a hands-on wreath-making session led by Sophie Flowers. Using locally foraged foliage, winter berries and feathers, we created wreaths that captured the soul of a Cornish Christmas. Every sprig and stem celebrated the wild elegance of winter in Cornwall.

Crafting with nature is a grounding experience—and one that reveals the beauty in every leaf and berry. Our wreaths didn’t just look festive—they embodied the cool, calming essence of winter. This workshop is a must-do for anyone seeking creative things to do in Cornwall this season.
