Discover the heart of Cornwall with a stay in this converted barn property, a split-level holiday home that happily sleeps four guests and a dog. Boasting quirky interiors and plenty of stunning original features, this property certainly acts as a home-from-home for anyone hoping to explore the Cornish south coast. Jump in the car to get to the nearest beach, a wide shingle shore that’s a popular family spot, or head to the town of Looe for fun-filled days out and plenty of independent businesses to peruse.
Arrive through barn doors and instantly stumble upon two bedrooms: a versatile zip-and-link bedroom with a TV/DVD, and a further twin. These rooms have been lovingly presented throughout and feature stylish décor. Head on upstairs to find an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner tucked under the eaves of the building. With vaulted ceilings and far-reaching views from its windows, this room is a truly charming space in which to unwind. Throw a log or two on the wood burner and sink into cushy sofas and armchairs to watch the Smart TV or play on the Nintendo Wii. Naturally, a property like this also boasts plenty of outdoor space. Dine alfresco in the pretty gardens and enjoy free roam of the lawn.
Venture towards the coast to find two popular beaches close by. The dog-friendly Seaton Beach with a shingle shore is a 2-mile drive, as is Downderry Beach with an inviting pub close by. The town of Looe lies just 6 miles away and boasts a lovely beach and plenty of eateries. Enjoy a day out at the fascinating Old Sardine Factory to discover the area’s rich maritime past. Younger visitors will adore a day at Adrenaline Quarry (5 miles) for zip-lining, go-karting and water activities, along with a visit to the Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary (4 miles).
