Take three: Christmas holidays in Cornwall

Christmas at the Eden Project, Cornwall/PA

We at AOL Travel have noticed that Cornwall has some rather tempting offerings for great escapes over the festive season - so we thought we'd share our Cornish Christmas wishlist... Book 'em while you can!

The hotel break
The Llawnroc Hotel (pictured below) is offering a deluxe break in luxurious surroundings on the beautiful south coast. Festive cocktails, a lavish three-course Christmas lunch in the hotel's fine dining restaurant and a walk around the glorious Lost Gardens of Heligan on Boxing Day are just some of the treats in store. Prices for this indulgent three-night stay from 24th – 27th December start from £670 per person.

The self-catering break
Beach Retreats still has a range of accommodation available, from cosy cottages to beach-chic apartments (some can sleep parties up to 16), all within easy reach of great places to eat, drink, play, shop and relax. This Christmas, the company is offering to take care of everything from ordering the champagne to decking the hall with boughs of holly. They can even arrange for a chef to come and cook your Christmas dinner. Prices start from £310 per person per week.

The gastro pub break
The New Inn on Tresco, the Isles of Scily, pulls out all the stops at Christmas: the island's one and only local pub is the place to be for festivities and New Year celebrations. It offers four-star bed & breakfast accommodation from £750 per person for five nights including dinner, B&B, helicopter flights, travel insurance and Flying Boat Club spa membership.
