Once an old cowshed, this Cornish cottage has been given a mesmerising new life. Located on a working farm six miles from Looe and Seaton where there are two other homes, this country retreat is a dream for rural adventurers. Stepping through the front door, we were hit by how well the living space beautifully marries traditional cottage living with modern style – the painted exposed stonework is a particularly stunning nod to the home's former life as a barn. Hardwood floors and beamed ceilings in the bedrooms also hint at the home’s history, while the white walls and blue accents remind you that the sea is never too far away. The home’s private garden is the perfect spot to listen to the morning birdsong or to fire up the barbecue on balmier evenings. On colder nights, board games await on the sofa by the wood-burning stove. As well as the private outdoor space, the home boasts an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens, ideal for picnics and walking the dog. And with so many landmarks and the South West Coast Path a short drive away, there are plenty of outdoor escapades to be had – fitting for life on the... farm.

If you do bring your dogs along, they are not allowed to be left unattended at any time, and should be kept from going upstairs or on the sofas and chairs
We recommend having a car in this area – the home has on-site parking on a gravel drive
Due to the rural location there are no streetlights around, so after sunset the area around the home is very dark

Host
This home is managed by Karl
This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Jacqui's farm is her pride and joy. Semi-retired, she adores welcoming new guests to her rural hideaway and turning them into annual returnees. Her eye for plants and presentation makes being outside here a total joy – words we'd use to describe Jacqui. She believes every stay should be unique and, most of all, enjoyable.
