  • A comfortable and peaceful sanctuary close to St Minver and the north coast of Cornwall
  • The property is all on one level and was once an old barn which has been lovingly renovated
  • It’s an expansive property with flexible sleeping arrangements
Property code: OC-LITMOW

All on one level, this beautifully restored barn maximises the sociable spaces to help blend modern features with the original ones.  Surrounded by countryside yet just a short drive from the famous long sandy beaches of the north Cornish coast, The Little Mowhay near Rock oozes character and comfort. With original beams and exposed granite walls, this traditionally decorated and furnished home-from-home provides a most comfortable, peaceful sanctuary to return to after long days exploring the coast. The country-style kitchen/diner is the perfect place to entertain and relax and the cosy lounge will be a firm favourite with doors which open up on to a sunny garden; there's even a dedicated spot for a game of Boule!  If you fancy a game of table tennis, just head out to the shed, or for additional family entertainment to the games room with comfy bean bags and extra games to entertain all the family.

The nearby village of Rock is a very desirable and popular holiday destination, with excellent windsurfing, paddle boarding and waterskiing available.  Paul Ainsworth offers an unforgettable experience at The Mariners pub too.  If you want some surf, just head over to Polzeath which is famous for it's great surfing conditions, enjoy the Rumps Walk at Pentire Point, or simply relax building sandcastles, climbing on rocks, or swimming in Daymer Bay.The much-loved harbour town of Padstow sits just across the estuary and you will find an abundance of shops and fantastic restaurants there, with Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth being the favourites. Port Isaac, with its Doc Martin and Fishermans Friends associations is just a few miles away, and well worth a visit for followers of either.
