Guests will be spoilt for choice with 11 bedrooms at Treharrock Manor, close to Port Isaac, Rock and Polzeath, with potential for further accommodation on the attic second floor.

The Grade II-listed Georgian manor house also has a snooker room, wine cellar, cinema room and games room, plus an all-weather tennis court within its 13½ acres, as well as a pond, croquet lawn, bluebell woods, meadows, orchard and extensive gardens.

Location: On the north Cornwall rugged coast, in between Tintagel (approximately 9 miles to the north) and Polzeath (just under 6 miles to the south).

Things to do: There is plenty to explore around the coastal town with numerous well-loved pubs and restaurants, the most impressive of which are run by renowned chef Nathan Outlaw. There is Outlaw’s Fish Kitchen within the harbour and two Michelin-starred restaurant Outlaw’s New Road at the top of the village.

Annunciata grew up in the wilds of Lancashire and now lives in Hampshire with a husband, two daughters and an awful pug called Parsley. She’s been floating round the Country Life office for more than a decade, her work winning the Property Magazine of the Year Award in 2022 (Property Press Awards). Before that, she had a two-year stint writing ‘all kinds of fiction’ for The Sunday Times Travel Magazine, worked in internal comms for Country Life’s publisher (which has had many names in recent years but was then called IPC Media), and spent another year researching for a historical biographer, whose then primary focus was Graham Greene and John Henry Newman and whose filing system was a collection of wardrobes and chests of drawers filled with torn scraps of paper. During this time, she regularly gave tours of 17th-century Milton Manor, Oxfordshire, which may or may not have been designed by Inigo Jones, and co-founded a literary, art and music festival, at which Johnny Flynn headlined. When not writing and editing for Country Life, Annunciata is also a director of TIN MAN ART, a contemporary art gallery founded in 2021 by her husband, James Elwes.
