Residing in the picturesque town of Penryn, Cornwall, this charming cottage offers a serene retreat for couples, accommodating two guests in a beautifully converted former cowshed. The property, now a small non-working farm, features a few chickens, four sheep, and a friendly dog named Meg, creating a welcoming rural atmosphere. The cottages, named Rose and Bryony, were designed by architect Nigel Stock in 2011 and are furnished with high-end pieces from the local business Mark Product. With contemporary design elements, wooden floors, and fresh color palettes, the cottages provide a modern and comfortable stay.
Each cottage is situated on one level and boasts stunning views across the surrounding fields. Guests can enjoy private west-facing decks equipped with seating and barbecues, perfect for relaxing evenings. The property spans eight acres, offering ample space for exploration, with a particularly breathtaking view from the top that showcases the beauty of Cornwall from its north to south coasts. For larger groups or families, there is flexibility in accommodation, as an adjoining door allows access between the two cottages.
Children will find plenty of entertainment on the farm, with a field that includes a swing, a trampoline sunk into the ground, a treehouse, and vast areas for adventurous play. The location is also convenient for beach lovers, with many of Cornwall's finest beaches accessible on the north, south, and west coasts. Nearby towns such as Falmouth, Truro, and Penryn offer additional attractions and amenities, making this cottage an ideal base for a memorable Cornwall holiday.
The surrounding area provides a wealth of activities for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors can explore the natural beauty of Enys Gardens and the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or venture along the South West Coast Path Section 29 Trailhead. For those seeking recreational fun, options include jet skiing, water skiing, horse riding, and cycling. Families can enjoy a night out at the Performance Centre or visit Raze the Roof Indoor Play & Laser Tag for a day filled with excitement. This cottage truly embodies the essence of a peaceful yet adventurous getaway in the heart of Cornwall.
