Bask in the Cornish sunshine and luxuriate in the sumptuous interior of this beautiful barn near St Minver in North Cornwall.

With two lawned gardens, outdoor boules and table tennis, plus an indoor games room, this architect-designed retreat has everything you need for your special retreat.

Head inside to find ample space for everyone to spread out. Gather on the sofas in the lounge and open the doors in the glass gable end as you gaze out at the greenery or watch the Smart TV. Amble through to the lounge/kitchen/diner to settle on the soft seating with a cup of fresh coffee, prepare feasts for your group or gather round the table to dine and raise a glass together.
