Escape to this boutique barn conversion set moments away from North Cornwall’s rugged coastline. This exceptionally stylish property has been thoughtfully renovated with homely touches that provide a unique getaway for a couple or solo traveler.

Step inside, slip off your shoes and make your way into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner.

The kitchen area has everything you need to comfortably rustle up meals, which you can serve at the dining table. Soak in the scenery from the comfort of your steamy hot tub on the patio or kick back with a drink in the landscaped courtyard. On wintery evenings, hunker down beside the wood burner and watch the dancing flames with an evening tipple in-hand.

Other scenic beaches sit within 11 miles of the property too, such as Watergate Bay, Harlyn Bay and Treyarnon Bay.

We had a fabulous time at The Calf House. The cottage was beautiful and ticked all of our requirements.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Calf House and wouldnt hesitate to recommend it. From the moment we booked, Jon was a fantastic host friendly, welcoming and incredibly responsive. Before we even arrived, he provided helpful directions along with some great local tips, making us feel looked after from the very beginning. The accommodaRead moretion itself exceeded our expectations. Beautifully presented, spotlessly clean and surprisingly spacious for two people, it instantly felt like a home from home. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped with everything we needed, making it easy to cook, relax and settle in. The bedroom was wonderfully comfortable, the ensuite bathroom was beautifully finished, and the shower was superb powerful, with plenty of piping hot water. The highlight for us was undoubtedly the private courtyard and hot tub. After a day exploring Newquay and the surrounding area, it was the perfect place to unwind in complete peace and privacy. The location strikes the perfect balance peaceful and secluded, yet only a short drive from Newquay and the beautiful Cornish coastline. We genuinely couldnt have asked for more. Thank you, Jon, for making our stay so enjoyable. We would happily return and wouldnt hesitate to recommend The Calf House to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Glenn Hide

The Calf House was an amazing place to spend a week in Cornwall! We were so impressed with all the lovely small touches the owners left for us - fresh flowers, scones, tea and prosecco on arrival.

What a wonderful find. Such a beautiful little cottage tucked away from the outside world but only 20 minutes from so many places to visit. The cottage itself is stunning and so cosy beautifully decorated and clean. We arrived to find fresh flowers, afternoon tea, treats for the dogs and more.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay at the Calf House and would highly recommend it. A lot of love has gone into creating this space, with real attention to detail throughout. The layout is fantastic with a large open-plan area combining the kitchen, dining, and living/TV space, making the property feel incredibly spacious, while the separate Read morebedroom still offers plenty of privacy. The place also appears to have been recently renovated, and all of the appliances worked perfectly during our stay. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches from the hosts, such as milk, tea, and other essentials, which made us feel very welcome. The bathroom is a little oasis, featuring a large tropical-style shower, and the outdoor jacuzzi was the perfect way to relax after a long coastal walk. The gated outdoor area was another highlight, giving us privacy and allowing our dogs to roam freely and safely. The only minor downside was that we needed to drive to reach nearby towns and pubs, as the road outside is quite busy for walking. However, this didnt take away from what was otherwise an excellent stay. We would absolutely return if we find ourselves back in Cornwall. Hide
