**Royal Retreat: Prince William’s Getaway Haven in Southwest England**

Prince William has the luxury of choosing a splendid vacation home for his brief stay in the southwest of England.

Nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes are numerous rental properties owned by the Duchy of Cornwall, a vast estate comprising farms, residences, and lands under the ownership of the Prince of Wales.

This estate serves as a source of income to support the Prince of Wales, his family, and various charitable initiatives.

Following Queen Elizabeth's passing in September 2022, William assumed the title of Duke of Cornwall and inherited the substantial £1 billion Duchy of Cornwall estate.

One such serene retreat is Street Marys, described as a tranquil sanctuary with hidden gems by the Isles of Scilly Tourism website.

The area boasts extensive country and coastal paths, showcasing uninhabited sandy beaches, striking rocky cliffs, captivating seascapes, ancient landmarks, and enchanting hiking trails.

This marks Prince William's inaugural overnight trip since Princess Kate's cancer diagnosis.

His two-day sojourn in the southwest culminated in a delightful holiday abode on the Isles of Scilly awaiting him, offering a perfect escape from his demanding schedule.

Departing for the stunning Isles of Scilly on Friday, May 10, William is set to visit a lesser-known royal retreat.

Timorous House, situated on Street Marys, the largest of the Isles of Scilly, accommodates over 1,800 residents on a compact island spanning just over six square miles.

Concealed by tamarisk trees for privacy, this charming mid-1960s residence features four bedrooms on a quarter-acre plot, including a family bathroom and two sea-facing bedrooms on the ground level.

The upper floor houses a master bedroom and a twin room, each with its en-suite bathroom.

Offering breathtaking vistas of Street Marys, the sun terrace and wood fire-heated living room provide a cozy ambiance.

Timorous House, now under William's stewardship, is hailed as a premier addition, located a short stroll from Street Marys Quay and Hewtown amenities.

Available for private rentals, this property owned by the Duchy of Cornwall is equipped with modern amenities such as Wi-Fi, smart TVs, hi-fi systems, and a fully functional kitchen.

Weekly rental rates range from £1,315 to £5,295, depending on the season.

William commenced his Cornish visit by exploring Nansleden New Quay, the site of the Duchy of Cornwall's initial homeless housing project.

Friday marked his official visit to the Isles of Scilly since assuming the role of Duke of Cornwall.

Scheduled to inspect operations at Street Marys Harbor, overseen by the Duchy, William also plans to engage with harbor personnel before visiting Street Marys Community Hospital.
