This four-bedroom former dairy boasts colourful and quirky designer-approved interiors and an alfresco barbecue and dining area. Its setting within the grounds of a listed estate means additional properties are close at hand, though there’s plenty of surrounding parkland to get lost in. Cycle, hike or spot deer while stopping for a swim in the lake. When the time comes to think about eating, collect freshly-laid eggs, raid the kitchen garden or pick fresh fruit from the orchard. Located in central Cornwall within easy reach of the north and south coast, you’ll also be able to enjoy Talland Bay or spend the day at Lansallos Beach.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed by a business on behalf of its owner. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
