The ultimate house for a family-friendly, dog-friendly Cornish holiday – The Old Farmhouse is perfectly set up for larger groups who want to spend quality time together and still have space to do their own thing.
Enjoy total luxury with four large bedrooms – two super-king size and one king size – two of which come with large ensuites and dressing rooms. One of the super-king rooms can be made up as a twin room for those that need it, and the fourth room with bunk beds will delight the kids. What’s more, with a large separate family bathroom and an extra toilet downstairs, there’ll be no queues for the bathroom – very handy when travelling with groups.
And if you’re looking for a Cornish holiday cottage with character, this Grade II-listed farmhouse has bags of it. Part of the building – now the living room – is listed in the Doomsday book while the rest was added in the 17th Century. There are original features throughout, like the vaulted ceilings in the bedrooms and the clome oven in the now dining room, where the farmers would have cooked their food next to the open fire.
Thankfully The Old Farmhouse has had some upgrades in recent years so you won’t need to cook your meals over the fire: your fully-fitted kitchen with range cooker, breakfast bar, and utility room will make self-catering a joy. Plus there’s underfloor heating under the original flagstone floor, and the luxury bathrooms have walk-in showers.
Gather around the dining table to eat by a roaring fire, or enjoy a feast al fresco whatever the weather in your own covered outdoor seating area. In the summer you can fire up the BBQ, or book out the pavilion for a picnic at the top of the hill with stunning views across the Cornish countryside.
And after a long day of exploring, spend a balmy evening in your tranquil south-facing garden. Watch the sunset from your outdoor sofas and gaze at the stars in your private hot tub. Then curl up together in front of the wood burner in the cosy living room. Dig out some board games or escape to the study/snug for some quiet time, before retreating to your beds to dream of happy days spent together.
Hob Nob used to house the old cider press, so it’s no stranger to a gathering of family and friends. And whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or simply being able to spend time together, the impressive first-floor living area with its high vaulted ceilings and views of the countryside will make your group holiday extra special.
What’s more, with a large family bathroom, one ensuite super-king size bedroom, one ensuite king size bedroom and one room which can either be a super-king or twin bedroom, you have three large bedrooms and three bathrooms. So, whether you’re coming as a family, three couples, or a group of friends, Hob Nob is the perfect place to spend quality time with loved ones while having your own luxurious space to retreat to.
Cooking together is a breeze in the large family kitchen: with so much space, everyone can get involved. And gathering around the dining table underneath a criss-cross of beams gives meals together the wow factor. Plus, with room to seat eight, there’s space for everyone – even if you’re renting out multiple cottages for a big family get-together.
In the summer, why not fire up the BBQ in your own private garden? With a modern dining table and chairs, and a parasol for sunnier days, you can while away idyllic summer afternoons and evenings together without a care in the world. Or book out the pavilion and take a picnic lunch to the top of the fields to marvel at the views of the rolling hills while raising a toast to each other.
Then it’s back to the cottage to lounge in the comfy chairs in front of a roaring fire – dogs and all. Catch up on all the news, or break out the board games before finishing your day in the hot tub under the night sky and reminiscing about the wonderful memories you’ve made.

Spend hot summer days firing up the BBQ and cooking up a feast in your own beautiful walled garden.

Discover the acres of nature right on your doorstep, and watch as dogs play and little ones have fun building dens and hunting for Cornish faeries. In the colder months, all come back to your cottage to cosy up in front of a roaring fire. Raid the board game library or stream a film on your smart TV and enjoy some quality time together.
And at the end of the day, you can fire up the jacuzzi bath to soothe any aching muscles or pay a visit to the hot tub to gaze at the stars, before climbing into your super soft beds to dream about another day in Cornish paradise.
If you’re craving the wide open spaces of the Cornish countryside and want a bright and spacious pet-friendly cottage from which to enjoy them, you’ll love the Spice Barn.

Light, fresh and airy, the living area is on the top floor of this cottage, so you can take in the views up over the fields from the comfort of your sofa. Why not sit back and enjoy the sun flooding in through the windows? You could finally read that book you’ve been meaning to start for ages. Or just watch the clouds float by and listen to the birds singing in the trees, feeling calm wash over you as the hustle and bustle of everyday life disappears into the distance.
You’ve got your own secluded outside space to enjoy too, with a tranquil patio that catches the afternoon sun, and a sun lounger so you can lie back and soak up every last ray. And once the sun has finally dipped, you can fire up the BBQ and while away the balmy evenings dining on your patio.
And after a day of exploring, whether you’ve worked up a sweat hiking the rugged cliff paths, trying surfing for the first time, or reconnecting with nature in our private woodland, you can soothe those aching muscles in your own jacuzzi bath or book a session in the hot tub. You can even indulge in a massage in your own living room. At Old Lanwarnick, the pace of your holiday is up to you.

And it’s the ideal base from which to discover the Cornish countryside too. In the winter, why not wrap up warm and enjoy a muddy walk right from your doorstep in our private woodland? Or take on the wild cliffs of the Cornish coast just a short drive away, letting the wind blow your cares away while you watch the crashing waves below. Then head to one of the nearby pubs for a traditional Sunday roast washed down with a pint of local ale before heading back to your comfy cottage to reminisce about the day’s discoveries curled up in front of a roaring fire.
Or in the sunnier months, soak up the slow mornings before enjoying a day at the beach or sampling the local cuisine in nearby Looe and Fowey. Suitably refreshed from your day of exploring, head back to the cottage to enjoy a cold and refreshing Cornish cider outside while dinner sizzles on the BBQ.
And before the day is done, you can get into your fluffy robes and pad over to gaze at the stars from the hot tub, then retire to your sumptuous king-size bed to snuggle up underneath the decadent chandelier without a worry in the world.
