Conservatory Comfort

With two living spaces, three dining areas, a sprawling garden and a bright conservatory that comfortably seats the entire group, this traditional farmhouse and self-contained annexe is the perfect coastal retreat for friendly get-togethers and extended families. Days begin at the sunny breakfast table, where vaulted ceilings and large skylights create a bright area to enjoy your toast and jam while hatching a plan. The fully-equipped kitchen has everything you need for preparing a hearty meal later in the day. For now, spill out into the garden for your morning constitutional and cup of fresh coffee. And once you're ready and raring to hit the Cornish shores, pack your seaside essentials and head to beautiful Carbis Bay for sandy beaches and shallow waters, just a five-minute drive away or twenty-seven minutes on foot. A great family beach, there's a host of activities to try from surfing to rock climbing. When you've worked up an appetite, we recommend hopping on the small train to St Ives for picturesque views and great restaurants. Back home, end the day with a couple of drinks in the cosy conservatory, complete with comfortable sofas, stone walls and tiled flooring. On chilly evenings, warm up by the wood-burning stove in the cosy living room, before heading upstairs for a restful night's sleep in one of the charming bedrooms.
