Sun, sea and seals... it's another glorious escape to the country in Cornwall, where Alistair Appleton is helping a retired couple from the Wirral find their perfect Cornish retreat within walking distance of a pub. After years of happy family holidays there, and now with their son and new grandson living locally, they're ready to make the move and live in Cornwall full-time. With a £400,000 budget and a love of bungalows, Alistair has some tempting options to show them. He also pops by the Cornish Seal Sanctuary to meet some of its permanent and temporary residents.

With retirement on the horizon and Dorset calling, Ginny Buckley is helping a buyer from London find the right place to start a brand new chapter for her £425,000 budget. Ginny's got plenty to tempt her, from picture-perfect villages to a beautiful mystery house that's so charming, it should come with a bow on top.

And for a taste of local success, Ginny meets a family who swapped city life for the coast and now run an upmarket fish-canning business.
