We are planning a 7 week holiday from 12th December to 30th of January. Starting in Vienna for four days, a weeks cruise visiting Christmas Markets to Nuremberg, Christmas in Prague for 4 days, Copenhagen 4 days, Edinburgh for New Year for a week and then a week traveling to Cornwall.
We want to spend two weeks in Cornwall. Either at the same accomodation or a week in each of two locations. We have rather strange criteria. Research has revealed that Chery's ancestors lived in Marthamchurch, Launcells and Poughill from the early 1600 or earlier till 1780 when they moved to Antony and then on to Australia in the 1840's. Other branches lived in Launceston, Linkinhorn, Stoke Clinsland and Antony over the same period. Obviously we want to visit some of these towns, however non look particularly scenic.
We stayed on Polperro for two days around 30 years ago and have never gotten it out of our system. We visited Clovelly for the day and it was great as well.
Why winter? Some say it is the best time of the year. No tourists. I like the idea of views of the sea in winter. Storms. Pubs or a cottage with open fire and a view of the ocean. Pretty villages in winter. Lots of photo opportunities.
See our problem?
Any suggestions?

Worimi Kathy,
Loved our two weeks in your apartment in Bonnieux 4 years ago. Apparently we missed you when in Chipping Campden last July/August. Also stayed in an apartment (in the grounds of a Chateaux) you recommended at Creancey 16 years ago. We do keep crossing paths.
