Overview
Property code: OC-MOWH

Bask in the Cornish sunshine and luxuriate in the sumptuous interior of this beautiful barn near St Minver in North Cornwall. Sleeping 10 guests, the exquisite, single-storey conversion, has six bedrooms and makes a magnificent base for anyone on a group getaway. 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. The six inviting bedrooms include three twins, one of which has beds that can also be made up as a super-king-size if discussed in advance. There are also two bunk bedrooms and a king-size room, with en-suite shower room. The barn has two family bathrooms and a family wet room as well. Head off to the games barn to find another Smart TV and to challenge each other to pool and table football. There is also a washing machine/tumble dryer out here. Play games with the children out in the lawned garden and fire up the BBQ outside on beautiful summer days. There is parking for three cars here.

While away sunny afternoons on the beach at Rock, 4 miles away, where there are opportunities for windsurfing and paddle boarding.

Fantastic location and property. Only a short drive to Rock and other beaches in the area. Games room and huge garden were perfect for entertaining our children. Back garden was well dog proofed and perfect for our puppy. We loved our stay at the Mowhay and would highly recommend.

Property was dirty when arrived - litter on floor in in lounge, bits of dirt on floors, toilet in en-suite dirty, en-suite floor dirty, litter & coffee stains left on marble topped bedside table in double bedroom & when wiped away with damp white cloth, cloth was filthy, sofa in kitchen area dirty & seen better days, kitchen drawers contained liRead moretter & bits of old food, dishwasher needed rinse aid when we arrived, not a lot of wardrobe space as in several bedrooms cupboards locked - in one twin room no hanging space. Only enough outdoor chairs at table for 8 people despite sleeping 10 & of the 8 chairs one was partly broken. Only 2 rusty old Sun loungers. Table tennis table in shed has had water leakage on it & no longer flat at one end & bats were in a bad state. All games except garden Jenga were for young kids. Mini snooker table with one broken cue. Extra games annexe with washing machine & drier was filthy. Lots of owners own cram lying around in games room & rusty broken old pool / boat ladder lying in garden, dirty boards/ropes/cans lying around table tennis shed. Pegs on washing line rusty & disintegrated. Blender didnt work. No hairdryer. Fridge was tiny for 10 people. A storage unit/table in kitchen area had a few cushions & a puzzle marked with missing pieces & covered in lumps of old food bits that had presumably fallen through the holes. Boules place has seen better days! It Range cooker was set up to come on only in mornings & evenings - it would have been nice to have been notified about this for planning as 2 small electric rings are not satisfactory for 10 people. Directions could have been clearer i.e. turn right on the sharp left bend directly after barn & property is on RHS of lane to Mill directly opposite 2 stone cottages. Hide
