ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES

Holiday Cottages x 5

MEADOW BARN
A sumptuously appointed barn conversion of classic Cornish granite, Meadow Barn brims with character and offers a charming retreat for two. Light floods the building, creating a relaxed and sunny atmosphere that lifts the spirits at any time of year.

ACORN
Acorn is spacious and airy. The original vaulted ceiling incorporates Velux skylights, flooding the room with daylight (which can be blacked out at night). Rich pine panelling and exposed beams lend a Scandinavian feel to this Cornish holiday cottage.

GRANARY
The Granary was tastefully created by converting the upper level of one of our ancient granite barns. Once used for storing sacks of cereals, this building is so spacious that the other half became The Hayloft.

HAYLOFT
Hayloft, with its spacious double bed and comfortable sofas, was sensitively converted from the upper level of one of our ancient granite barns. Like The Granary, it was historically used for storing cereals, its generous size allowing for two distinctive conversions.

COURTYARD
The Courtyard Suite is located within a classic granite barn conversion, separate from the main farmhouse and with its own entrance. Rich in character and original features, this former stone cart house overlooks the traditional courtyard and its picturesque cluster of classic Cornish granite barns.
