About Hayloft

For a coastal escape away from the crowds, spend your holiday in the hamlet of Gwendra. This cluster of restored stone-and-slate farm buildings clings to the clifftop above the family-friendly beaches of Carne and Pendower, and it's just a five-minute walk along a country lane to reach the golden sand and rock pools. Inside Hayloft, you'll find restful rooms, sea views and a woodburner in the sitting room.

There are coastal trails from the doorstep and you can loop onto the South West Coat Path to walk along the Roseland Peninsula. Head east to the pretty village of Veryan, with its thatched round houses, pub and shop, or hike west along the coast to Portscatho and St Mawes. The area is rich in wildlife, from butterflies and birds to common seals. You might see the small herds of ponies who graze on the coastal strips to help maintain a healthy balance of plant species.

There are five neighbouring cottages in Gwendra - Hayloft (sleeps four), Mowhay (sleeps six), Gwendra Dairy Cottage (sleeps two), Gwendra Wartha (sleeps three) and Gwendra Granary (sleeps four). They share open gardens, and each have their own outdoor seating area. It's a great place for friends and families to gather to holiday in neighbouring cottages.
