Set amid 100 acres of verdant pasture and untouched woodland, it offers a genuine slice of rural Cornish charm. Here, the soundtrack is birdsong and the gentle bleating of sheep, with perhaps the occasional buzzard circling lazily overhead.

Perfectly placed for those who enjoy exploring, the site is within easy reach of the best Cornwall and Devon have to offer such as sweeping beaches, dramatic moorland, historic estates and award-winning gardens. It remains a blissful retreat to return to after a day out.
