  • One of two charming barn conversions set in 130-acres of arable land with cows
  • Spacious interior with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams
  • Popular beaches nearby, including Portreath, Gwithian and Perranporth
  • Within easy reach of a network of footpaths, perfect for dogs
Property code: OC-OLDMM

Escape with loved ones on both two and four legs to this romantic rural retreat. Surrounded by 130 acres of arable land, this delightful barn conversion boasts wonderful walks direct from the doorstep. Take the dogs to the coast at nearby Portreath or venture further afield to Newquay, St Ives or The Eden Project before returning home for a BBQ in the enclosed garden.

Inside, the reverse level accommodation is spacious and open-plan with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and original barn windows. Prepare and enjoy tasty meals in the kitchen/diner, where you will find a large farmhouse table for dining together or challenging family members to a board game or two. After a day of exploration with your canine companions, put your feet up in the cosy lounge area beyond or take to the enclosed garden area outside for a BBQ or glass of wine as the sun goes down.

Located just 2 miles from the beach at Portreath, you will never be far away from a portion of fish and chips, the perfect way to round off a long walk. From the property itself, join the well-kept footpath that connects to a network of other trails together with Tehidy Country Park and its lake, golf course and cafe. While the tourist hotspots of The Eden Project, The Tate Gallery at St Ives and Newquay Sealife Centre will be less popular among four-legged friends, your pooches will be very welcome at one of the nearby dog-friendly pubs including Basset Arms and Portreath Arms Hotel.

I would definitely recommend this property, particularly if you have a dog. The location is brilliant and the fact you can walk straight from the property through the past to Tehidy Woods an added bonus. We walked from the cottage to the coast and back one day which was a refreshing change from having to get into the car. The host was very friendlyRead more and available if you needed some thing. I really loved a week away and hopefully well be back next year Hide

Everything was perfect. We needed a cot, highchair and stair gate for one year old baby grandson. It was all ready for us when we arrived. Everything look brand new. BBQ was great and the weather was kind enough to allow us to get in secure garden. Just loved it - sad to come home

Our second stay at the farm, but in a different cottage. Its such a perfect place, lovely cottage and really comfortable. Owners are very friendly and helpful. I had worried the door to garden wouldnt be safe for our Retriever but it's fully enclosed (parking area and garden) so that was excellent. Its in a brilliant location too , with so many thiRead morengs to do. Will definitely be back when we next visit Cornwall. Hide

We had the most fabulous holiday at this cottage and the owners were very friendly and helpful. It was in a good central spot for touring to many places and was one of very few properties weve stayed at where it was extremely clean we didnt feel we needed to clean some of it again on arrival 10/10. The owners were very friendly and helpful and easyRead more to contact should we need any help (including losing ones way on the footpath from the cottage to Tehidy Country Park!!). Hide
