Just 1 mile away from the famous Eden Project, this charming cottage is in the ideal spot to enjoy exploring Cornwall. Set in the Luxulyan Valley, both a World Heritage Site and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there's plenty of waterside and woodland walks around you. Sylvan Barn is a stunning property, built in natural stone, and is unusually furnished in an upside-down style.

This quaint cottage has everything you could need for a peaceful retreat to the Cornish countryside. The open-plan living area is bright and airy with high apex ceilings and exposed beams, making it the perfect place to relax after a day exploring the surrounding area. Have breakfast while taking in the view of the 7 acres that the property is set in through the large window at the dining table. Uniquely, you'll head down the spiral staircase to the cosy bedroom and snuggle in for a peaceful night's sleep.

Sylvan Barn is situated in a great place to enjoy everything that Cornwall has to offer. Located near to St Austell Bay, top visitor attractions like the Eden Project, Charlestown, with its tall ships and maritime museums, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are all within 10 miles. Cyclists and walkers will love the Clay Trails that criss-cross the St Austell area. Head to Fowey if you want to visit a thriving and authentic Cornish town.

Lovely cottage in a peaceful location. The cottage was clean, bed very comfortable, great shower and a fantastic location. A lovely balcony and a private garden. Close to Eden project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, Charles town and the Treffry Viaduct is a short walk from the door.

Absolutely what we wanted to find. Idyllic location in the middle of Heritage woodland. So quiet even with campers nearby as the bedroom was downstairs. So close to the beach, the Eden Project which we loved exploring. Hadnt realised how little time it took to drive to the west coast. Amazing holiday, visiting Cornwall for the first time. We will dRead moreefinitely come back. Hide

A lovely little place with some nice walks along a fast flowing stream and an amazing viaduct. Very convenient for the Eden project and Charlestown bay. Would advise taking a small car though as the lane is very narrow and you may get a few scratches on the paint work or a quick lesson in reversing should you meet someone coming the other way.

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 !
