Access to the farmhouse is via a small gate into the private garden; there is a shared front door and small hallway with the private entrance and staircase to Windmills at the back. As you step inside, you’ll immediately feel at home in the welcoming ambiance of this cosy retreat. The sitting room, with beautiful sea views, is the heart of the home, where you can unwind together after a day of exploring. Sink into the two comfortable sofas with a good book or settle around the coffee table for a family game. There is also a wood burner for winter stays and a large, Smart TV. The well-equipped kitchen provides everything you need to whip up delicious meals for the family.

Large window with views towards the sea (through the trees in the summer) and a family kitchen table and 4 chairs. There are two good sized bedrooms; the master with king size bed, views to the sea, wardrobe, chest of drawers and ensuite shower room. The second with two single beds; both bedrooms offer a comfortable nights sleep for the whole family, after busy days exploring the wonders of Cornwall. With two bathrooms, one en-suite shower room and one full family bathroom (with bath and shower over) showering off that salt water at the end of the day is a breeze! Outside, the garden provides the perfect spot for alfresco dining (there is a charcoal BBQ provided), the farmhouse is set within the grounds of a family farm and small, peaceful campsite so you can relax knowing you are in a safe and secure setting. If you are holidaying with children, you can relax whilst they play out safely, they will most likely meet a bunch of new playmates on the family friendly campsite! The night sky is truly breath-taking, so make sure you wrap up and do some stargazing.
