To offer chocolates if you can find me a self catering trip for Monday?

Last minute due to medical stuff, and like the rest of the country I want to escape. Looking for a self catering, detached place to sleep 2. The usual places I know to look are sold out and our usual budget is around £400 but going to look up to £1200 and I don’t know where to look and most aces are just booked up. Unless I want a 14bed mansion.

I can’t find anywhere, so if you manage to find me somewhere I will send an Amazon gift code to buy chocolates I would be so grateful!

Requirements are self catering, detached (or near enough so no neighbour noise),
Stupidly clean, no high ceilings/spiders
Sea view, or view of water/stream/river or mountains, or not in a middle of a housing estate/feel like you can escape etc.
Any time from today until a week Monday, so a week or M-F from the 5th or F-M from the 9th Oct.
Thinking Devon/Cornwall, Wales (the open bits) Lake District etc

Or I can send flowers!

Stonerush lakes, near Looe in Cornwall.
Lovely 2 bed lodges, lake or stream views, very quiet, parking, lovely lakeside walks, well equipped lodges.

They usually have some vacancies. I think Sykes do there rentals, but site is owned by Charteroak. It’s really lovely and peaceful. Most of the lodges also have a hot tub if that’s your thing. I own one and spend a lot of time there. Love it.

They've just posted on fb with availability.

Unbelievable views.

Is DH up for it...you probably don't want to tell us all 'where' exactly...a clue perhaps...area?

Unfortunately we’ve decided not to go.
@DeeDimer and her link to some west woes properties we had actually picked one and very nearly booked, but decided last minute we needed to stay at home.
@Itwasaquarterpast11 suggestion of Toldarne will be stored for visiting when covid is over.
Very disappointed we’re not going anywhere tomorrow, hopefully if go in the next month or so I will send @deedimer chocolate money then if we go!

Sorry you couldn't go but I'm glad you liked West Wales!
