What you need to know before your trail

A beautiful village. An artist who’s lost her spark. And a community who help her find it again.

All Freya has ever wanted to do is paint. So when she fails her Master’s Degree in Art, on the same day that her boyfriend decides he needs a ‘more serious’ partner, to Freya it feels like the end of the world.

Luckily, she has a saviour in the shape of best friend Lola, who invites her to the sleepy Cornish village of Polcarrow, to work in her café. With nothing keeping her in London, Freya jumps at the chance of a summer by the sea.

Freya needs time to focus on herself. But then dark and mysterious biker Angelo blows into town on a stormy afternoon, with his own artistic dreams and a secretive past, and Freya’s plans of a romance-free summer fly straight out of the window…

Travel Guide

Travel to Cornwall for a Hideaway of your own

Sadly Polcarrow is fictional but there are more than a few places it could be modelled on or inspired by. Incidentally, there is a place called Poltarrow Farm Holidays which is similar in name and close to St Austell. You could have great fun trying to find your own Hideway in this lovely part of the world.

Polgoth and St Austell are just two places it seems to have been inspired by. Such a lovely part of the world for your own hideaway!
