For Daphne du Maurier fans, Penhallow Manor will jog the memory of tales of skulduggery and smuggling. The house is mentioned in ‘Jamaica Inn’ and was the model for Squire Warleggan’s rectory. There has been a dwelling on the site, close to Altarnun parish church (known as The Cathedral of the Moors), for centuries and there is an ancient Celtic cross in the grounds. The coach house is just beyond the main property and has a pretty little cobbled patio in front, but guests are welcome to use the lawned area in front of the manor. Two steps lead to the front door and straight into the cosy sitting-room which has soft sink-in sofas and a wood-burner. The kitchen/diner is lovely with a quarry tiled floor, large dresser and all the mod-cons. As well as a ground floor bedroom, upstairs (the stairs go up from the sitting-room and are a little narrow) there are two more very spacious bedrooms, both of which have en suite facilities. Ideal as a base for exploring the beautiful north Cornwall coast with the Eden Project just a short drive away, Penhallow Coach House is welcoming and comfortable – just right for a memorable Cornish holiday.
