For those people who haven’t heard of “economic hardships”, a new Cornish self-catering company is offering them everything on a plate.
You’ll know you’re one of these people if for example your lifestyle means you’re just too busy to drive from London to a Cornish holiday home, or if “self-catering” and “maid service” don’t seem to rather contradict.
A new Cornish self-catering company – Cornish Cribs – is catering for just this market. Set-up by former City workers Julianne Shelton and Nadia Durrant, the company aims to offer self-catering holidays for those with lots and lots of money who want to cherry pick the very best accommodation available.
Client options include a private helicopter to fly you direct to the accommodation (many have helipads), specialist catering services and of course maid service so you don’t even need to turn back the sheets.
The houses themselves are very exclusive and expensive many featuring the kind of views simply not obtainable anywhere else, but it seems there are plenty of people who are quite willing to rent a £4m house for around £7,000 a week and that doesn’t include any of the extras.
So it seems the traditional idea that the wealthy jet off for a weekend break to their desert island might not be quite true after-all….unless you’re Richard Branson perhaps.

Of course there are plenty of lovely self-catering properties in Cornwall without this kind of price tag.
