Cullacott Farm, a Grade I listed medieval hall house, stands as one of Cornwall's most remarkable vernacular properties. Built from stone and cob, it features exposed walls that display remnants of original murals dating back to the 1500s. The property’s restoration earned the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors National Building Conservation Award in 1997. The Longhouse, dating back to the 14th century, houses a Great Hall adorned with painted murals, including a depiction of St. George battling a dragon. The adjoining Tudor Wing, featuring granite mullion windows and a spiral turret staircase, is equally rich in history and includes a unique 15th-century lavvy in one of its bedrooms.
The farm has been in the same family for over a century, with historical artifacts like the original removal van still present on-site. Guests are encouraged to explore the expansive grounds, including nature trails and riverbanks rich in wildlife. The owners promote local produce and can connect guests with local businesses offering regional specialties. Additionally, the farm's fields are leased for sheep grazing, and a family member operates a catering service for events. The picturesque setting, including gardens and a cobbled courtyard, makes Cullacott Farm an ideal venue for weddings and parties. The nearest beach is approximately 14.5 miles away, with shops, pubs, and restaurants located just three miles from the property. For larger groups, the properties can be booked together through an interconnecting door, accommodating up to twelve guests.
