The Buildings
Three of these cottages have been converted by us from old granite
farm buildings. Together with the Farmhouse they form three sides
of a large attractive farm yard, which we now hardly use for farming
activities. The whole collection of cottages along with the Gypsy
Caravan is situated in a sheltered position surrounded by informal
gardens and trees planted in the small meadow which surrounds the
old farmyard. The barn conversions are fine single storey buildings
made of solid Cornish granite, while the Farmhouse is a large traditional
Cornish stone house. The conversions have been done sympathetically,
retaining the traditional features of stone construction and natural
slate roof while aiming at a very high standard of accommodation
as well. We have tried to make them into real homes and not typical
'holiday lets' - nice furniture, pictures on the walls, books on
the shelves, toys for the children and so on. So many people have
now told us that they are the best cottages they have come across
that we are beginning to believe them ! |
