Short Breaks


Most of the time our holiday properties book out for the Full week (7 nights), however there are times during some Off Peak periods or last minute where Short Breaks may be arranged with certain properties. They can be either 3, 4, 5 or 6 nights and are priced accordingly. Please remember that all short break enquiries have to be checked prior to booking, simply find your perfect cottage, get in touch and we will help finalise your enquiry.

4 stars

About the property

1 OF 5 PROPERTIES, 50 ACRES OF FARM LAND, ALL ON ONE LEVEL WITH FANTASTIC COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS AND COARSE FISHING

Barn Farm offers 4 barn conversions and 1 bungalow, all set within 50 acres of farm land. Each barn used to play its own part in the running of a working farm and have now all been lovingly converted into charming holiday cottages, each bursting with their own individual character. Barn Farm is situated just outside the small peaceful village of St Teath and is only a short walk away from the local pub with restaurant and shops. The farm is perfectly situated for touring the whole of Cornwall with a host of popular sandy beaches including the nearby beaches of Tregardock, Trebarwith and Polzeath. There are also many attractions to suit all tastes and ages which include The Eden Project, Bodmin and Wenford Railways, numerous National Trust houses and gardens, Crealy Adventure and Flambards Theme Park. Or why not spend the day visiting one of the local fishing resorts, such as Port Isaac, Padstow (with its famous Rick Stein's restaurant) or Tintagel with King Arthur's Castle.

Leisure facilities: enjoy an afternoon clay pigeon shooting (by prior arrangement with the owners), try your hand at coarse fishing in one of the two well-stocked ponds or just stroll the farm trail and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the beautiful surrounding countryside. Farm activities: there are many activities on and around the farm. Spend time helping the farmer feed the animals and there is also a shared paddock area with goats, guinea pigs and poultry which can be fed at feeding times with the help of the farmer. Amenities: ample off-road parking. Bed linen, towels, electric and central heating included. Location: shop, pub and restaurant all within 0.5 mile, nearest beach 2 miles. Arrival: 3pm.

The Shippen has been beautifully converted, but still holds a host of its original features from high beamed ceilings to stone walls. The detached spacious accommodation offers THREE bedrooms: 1 double with en-suite shower and separate WC, 1 twin and 1 with 3' bunk beds. Bathroom: with WC. Lounge: spacious with sofa bed, woodburner (first basket of logs free), TV and DVD. Kitchen/diner: traditional pine units, cooker, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and microwave. Utility room: shared with 3 washing machines and a tumble dryer. Outside: patio doors lead from the lounge into an enclosed garden with a BBQ and garden furniture. Amenities: 1 well-behaved dog by arrangement.
