Mowhay Barn is a spacious and beautifully-situated house in a superb part of Cornwall. We found the house provided us all with lots of space (two kitchens and two lovely lounges) having amazing and large private grounds with mature trees, shrubs and flowers and far-reaching country views. This was well beyond our expectations. We spent several lazy afternoons just soaking up sunshine and tranquility in the grounds or eating al fresco. Inside, there was plentiful equipment and some fascinating antique furniture along with delightful views. Also, hundreds of books and loads of games. A total treat. The location was also great. All the Rame Peninsula's wonderful scenery and villages are never more than 5-8 minutes drive, including Whitsand Bay with its long golden-sand beach (and steep walk down!). We particularly liked the estate grounds of Mount Edgcumbe House with walks by Plymouth Sound or on top in the deer park with stunning 360 degree views across the sea and the countryside (even extending to distant Dartmoor). On top of all that, there are some great eateries - particularly The Canteen at Maker Heights which has top-rank cooking at an incredibly modest price. Also, lovely pubs in the quaint fishing villages of Kingsand and Cawsand. Just up the hill on the B road is an excellent cafe (The Salty Dog) and SE Cornwall's top Cornish Pasty producer (Cornish Pod). Amazing pasties - we're now all 'pastied out'! There was a 7 minute footpath to the characterful local pub in St John and an easy drive to local shops or supermartkets in Millbrook or Torpoint. I expect I shouldn't be raving so much about this place as it will probably now fill up with eager guests but, as a very experienced cottage finder, this is such a find!...

Perfect for a family.

It would be helpful to let guests know that all the bedrooms in Mowhay are accessed by winding spiral staircases - this feels like important information.
