A converted stone barn for 6 people, in a rural setting by the South West Coast Path.
Porth Mear Barn was built in the 19th century at the heart of working farmland. Animals still graze in the surrounding fields, but the Barn is now a warm and comfortable holiday cottage on two levels with walks from the doorstep and a distant view of the sea. You’ll be able to follow a path down to Porth Mear, a secluded cove only accessible on foot.
The front door opens into an open-plan living and dining area with a log burner laid for your arrival. The kitchen leads to the downstairs family bathroom with both shower and bath. Upstairs you’ll find a shower room and 3 double bedrooms: two are king size, and one can be a twin on request. There’s plenty of room to run around in the open outdoor space, which has picnic benches and a small barbecue. The laundry and drying room is reached by an external door.
There’s no street lighting here so you’ll enjoy dark nights and with an exposed setting, you’ll experience the drama of the weather and the seasons. For a sandy beach, head to Porthcothan just a mile away. There are walks to Carnewas for the Bedruthan steps, Mawgan Porth and Newquay in one direction, and Padstow in the other. Their beaches are within a 15-minute drive.
Skipper’s Cabin, a holiday cottage for 2 guests, is 30m away, and Porth Mear Cottage for 4 and Trescore for 3 are at the end of the track.
