The Old Dairy

You arrive at a single-storey cottage on a working farm, reached via a private lane near Mount Hawke. The Old Dairy is compact and everything sits at ground level: a sitting room with woodburner and TV, an open-plan kitchen and dining space where you can cook properly, one double bedroom, and a shower room. Bed linen and towels are provided, along with electricity; logs for the stove are included too. There's private parking for two cars and an enclosed lawned garden with patio and seating.

The coast is just over a mile away—Porthtowan's beaches and saltwater pool, and St Agnes nearby. Walking trails fan out across the headlands. Perranporth, known for surfing, is 4 miles south. Truro is 8 miles, the Eden Project within reach. The village has a shop and pub within walking distance. Note that children must be supervised at all times, given the farm setting, and smoking is not permitted.
