Bull’s Barn

Bull’s Barn: Cornwall

Settle into an idyllic Cornish country and coastal stay in this secluded and stylish one-bedroom barn. Beyond its stunning stone and slate exterior, you'll find small nods to its rustic origins – cornish slate and oak floors, and a stylish farmhouse kitchen perfect for self-catering.

Upstairs, a spacious double bedroom also boasts a separate seating area with views out over the gorgeous landscapes. During peak holiday periods, the leather armchairs can be switched out for a couple of single beds, transforming this couple's retreat into a family-friendly getaway. There's also a sleek slate bathroom with a walk-in shower and separate bath.

Make the most of long summer days by relaxing in the private garden, just a stone's throw from the orchard. The farm also boasts a shared outdoor pool, hot tub, gym and studio, while there's plenty to keep the kids entertained – from feeding the pigs and alpacas to collecting eggs each morning to bouncing on the trampoline and flying through the air on the zipline.

A little over a mile down the road is the coastal hotspot of Polzeath, with its beautiful beach and peeling waves make it one of the most famous surf spots along Cornwall's North Coast, while the town boasts plenty of cool cafes and seafood restaurants to refuel after a day of sun, sea and sand.
