Let’s say it out loud:

You don’t need a new house.

You need a better life.

Here at Silverbow we speak to people all the time who are thinking about upsizing, downsizing, or just packing up and heading somewhere quieter. But here’s a question, what if the best move is no move at all?

Enter: the holiday home.

Not a compromise, not a caravan park cliché. A full on lifestyle shift that lets you keep your home and gain a second one by the sea.

Let’s break it down:

1. Cheaper than moving house

The average house move in the UK costs over £10,000 in fees, and that’s before you factor in SDLT (stamp duty), decorating, and a fight over curtains.

A luxury lodge at Silverbow? You can have that fresh start feeling for a fraction of the cost and still keep your home base. Best of both worlds.

2. No daily grind attached

You don’t live here. That’s the beauty of Silverbow. It’s an escape from the reality of everyday life, a bubble in the countryside. No DIY on a Sunday, no neighbour asking to borrow your lawn mower. You show up, switch off and relax.

3. You’re not stuck with it

Here’s the bit no one wants to admit, sometimes people move somewhere for a ‘better life’, and they hate it. The weather is worse than they remembered, the dream turns into chores, and then they are scanning Rightmove again.

A holiday home is a commitment with freedom. Comes as often as you like. Rent it out when you don’t. No awkward break up if it’s not forever.

4. Cornwall isn’t a fad

Other places come and go, but Cornwall is timeless. Perranporth beach doesn’t care about trends. Cream teas do not go out of style. The sun sets over the Atlantic, and people still breathe a little deeper when they see it.
