  • Cosy barn conversion set in a peaceful and secluded location in the heart of Cornwall, one mile from Eden Project entrance
  • Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with stunning woodland and waterside walks from the door
  • Perfect for nature-lovers, walkers and cyclists with many popular cycling routes nearby
Property code: SYBAR

This Cornish, stone cottage is very special for a number of different reasons: Firstly, it is situated about a mile away from the Eden Project, making this unique attraction a place you could visit every single day of your holiday if you so wished. Secondly, it is tucked away down a narrow country lane, in the World Heritage Site of the Luxulyan Valley which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offers a range of breathtaking waterside walks right from the doorstep. Thirdly, it’s a gorgeous, cosy bolthole that’s perfect for a couple looking for a romantic break, along with their pup.

This romantic stone cottage is cute and quirky. The walls and ceilings of the well-designed open-plan kitchen/living/dining area are painted in bright white hues, which really maximise the natural light pouring in through the dual aspect windows, making this relatively compact room feel spacious and airy. Red accessories and wooden floorboards add a warm homely feel, and the little round table perched in a prime position in front of the window provides a wonderful spot from which to enjoy an early morning coffee, watching the wildlife and planning your next ‘walkies’. A spiral staircase winds down to the charming double en-suite bedroom, a restful room where the loudest noise is likely to be the sound of morning birdsong.

In an ideal spot from which to enjoy all the best events, attractions and activities Cornwall has to offer, there’s no way you’ll be able to see everything during one visit here. After ticking the Eden Project off your itinerary, you’ll want to take the 11-mile trip to The Lost Gardens of Heligan where you can step back in time and enjoy Europe’s largest garden restoration where dogs are more than welcome to enjoy the adventure too.  Par Sands is within 3 miles, a lovely sandy beach surrounded by sand dunes with a small pond - recently named as one of the top 7 best dog friendly beaches by PDSA, it's ideal for playing and walking your dog and having a paddle in the sea.

Had a lovely time my husband and I. So peaceful, the walks were amazing. The barn was just perfect, tiny and cosy, just what we liked. So much to see and do in the area, not far from everything, yet felt secluded and away from it all. Perfect !

If you want peace and quiet this is the place for you. Its tiny but perfectly formed. It isnt furnished and fitted out to super spec but that gives it the charm I think. Two things to note. Bed was super comfy and the shower water pressure was amazing considering youre out in the country. Tvs a bit little even for a little cottage. Overall can recoRead moremmend this little gem. Oh and good luck with the little lane. I stayed for four days and luckily didnt meet another car on the lane. Phew! Hide
