Our homes for the weekend are two exquisite houses perched at the top of Highcliffe, Anterre and Belanu, both with panoramic views out to Stepper Point and across the Camel Estuary.

Anterre is a very special house, and holds a deep connection with the land upon which it is built. ‘Terre’ meaning ‘earth’ in French, is a nod to the connection to nature we hope you feel when staying here. Belanu is a Celtic name deriving from bhel, meaning ’light’. Bel was the Celtic Sun God associated with Cornwall.
 

Both houses are designed with natural materials, tactile finishes and soft, warm tones — they are the perfect place to connect, relax and unwind. As you step into the houses, you are welcomed by concrete floors and soft, muted tones. Floor to ceiling windows overlook a private courtyard ahead and flood the space with natural light. The first floor has large glass doors which span the entire width of the house, leading onto a spacious west facing balcony for you to enjoy your morning coffee, or evening sundowner. We can vouch from previous retreats here, the sunsets are unrivalled.

Outside, there is a large private west-facing garden with terraces of lawns and wildflower meadows. The properties have underfloor heating throughout and include an electric car charging point too.
