General
A real countryside haven with vintage elegance. The Pigsty provides the perfect base for a romantic retreat to Cornwall, or for a small family getaway, as this heavenly bolthole sleeps up to three guests. This unique, renovated barn is situated on a delightful working farm close to the south coast of Cornwall.
With a fresh open plan layout and interiors that ooze rustic romantic charm, you'll find you never want to leave this little slice of heaven. The lovely living area is the idyllic spot to spend quiet moments relaxing in front of the warm glow of the wood-burner. Prep an intimate dinner for two in the gorgeous open kitchen and take a seat at the antique dining-table that's nestled between the sofas and kitchen. Perfect for long lunches and laid back intimate suppers. The Pigsty has one large bedroom with plenty of quirky features. With a comfy double bed and a small day bed (perfect for a younger child) there's plenty of space for you all to get a good night's sleep after the day's adventures.
The stable-doors lead you out to your own private patio which is sheltered by traditional Cornish hedging. Enjoy al fresco breakfasts, lunches, and dinners out here, to make the most of your time in nature. Take in the pretty views of the Cornish countryside and see if you can spot any farm animals during your stay.
Out and About
The position of this magical retreat is in the perfect spot for exploring the very best that west Cornwall has to offer. The quaint village of St Levan is where your heavenly cottage can be found, and you are right on the door step of the truly enchanting Minack Theatre. This unique open-air theatre is perched high above the sandy shores of Porthcurno and is well worth a visit. You won't find clearer waters anywhere than in this quiet corner of the world. The rugged South West Coast Path leads its way around to the wonderful fishing village of Porthgwarra. There is so much magic to be discovered along this breathtakingly beautiful coastline.
Located away from it all, but only a short journey to some of the best the far west of Cornwall has to offer, you're only 10 minutes by car to the amazing Sennen and Gwenver beaches or 15 minutes to Newlyn harbour for some of the freshest seafood there is. Lamorna cove is right around the corner as well as the oh so sweet Mousehole. You won't know where to explore first!
Dreamy and serene, this gem in west Cornwall is just a delight, perfect for couples and small families we guarantee that you'll never want to leave.
