Situated within the valley of Dunmere, this converted dairy barn is a peaceful base from which couples can explore all that Cornwall has to offer. It's only a five-minute walk or three-minute cycle from the renowned Camel Trail cycling route. A ten-minute drive will take you to the A30, which runs right down the centre of Cornwall, meaning many picturesque beaches and harbour towns are all within a day trip's reach. The River Camel runs through the valley and is accessible to guests who can also fish on the private land here. Although there are extensive grounds to roam, the home also offers its own enclosed patio for visitors to enjoy – perfect for an alfresco lunch or sunset glass of wine. With its wood burner, this beautiful stone-built barn is a cosy retreat for those looking for an escape from urban life, offering a warm welcome after a long day spent exploring. We especially love the bedroom with its vaulted ceilings and white painted beams – it's a beautiful space to start the day in.
