Island castaway, Cornwall
Get the high life with no neighbours when you stay at the House in the Sea in Newquay, Cornwall. You won't just get a plush hideway, you also get an entire island all to yourself. You will have to cross the footbridge that leads to the island and once you've ceremoniously raised the flag to signify your arrival you can just sit back and enjoy the seclusion and the views of the Cornish coast. The price for four nights is from £925.
