Welcome to stunning Carthew Barn.
If you love to entertain then this is the perfect place for everyone to all get together whatever the season.
Wrap up warm and enjoy a bracing walk along one of the many coast paths before you head back and rustle up a hearty supper in the well-equipped kitchen. Then relax on the super-comfy sofa in front of the toasty wood-burner.
The main bedroom oozes luxury.
Relax on the lawned area in front of gorgeous Carthew Barn - bring your book and a beverage....
Or, just gaze at the stunning view.
From dawn until dusk you can enjoy your wonderful surroundings.
The fabulous fire pit for dreamy evenings toasting marshmallows.
The stunning open plan living area. Steps lead up to a little landing and behind the curtain is an internal door, which is shared with the neighbouring barn. However this door is locked at all times.
The gorgeous kitchen is very well-equipped.
The kitchen is full of light thanks to all the glass and windows. The stairs take you down to the ground floor.
The barn has been designed to make the most of the estuary view, with three large bay windows, all with built-in window seats , so don’t forget your binoculars.
The cute breakfast-bar is perfect for morning coffee and sweet pastries.
The breakfast-bar also doubles up as a fabulous work station.
Snuggle up in front of the roaring wood-burner with a good book.
Five steps lead up to the internal door, which is always locked.
For a more 'fine dining' experience, a trip to the exquisite Rick Stein's seafood restaurant is a must, so ladies, don't forget to pack an evening dress and heels.
Don't forget to pack a warm hat for those brisk beach walks.
Bedroom 2 has twin beds and is an oasis of calm in creams and greys. Whilst the doors do not open, opening the little windows at the top of the doors will let in the fresh air.
The lavish en suite bathroom wouldn’t look out of place in a five-star hotel.
Pretty bedroom 3 has a double bed and enjoys views across the lawn. Whilst the patio doors do not open, the windows at the top of the doors can be opened to let in a gentle breeze. The door leads into the utility-room.
The desk is perfect if you have some work to do whilst on holiday.
The super stylish family bathroom has a bath and enclosed shower.
Run a deep bath and soak away the sand and sea salt.
Bedroom 3 is light and airy.
The super useful utility-room leads off from bedroom 3.
The glorious view of The Camel Estuary from Carthew Barn.
Peace and tranquility, how perfect is this!
Make wonderful holiday memories at Carthew Barn.
Carthew Barn is in a magical setting with a fabulous fire pit.
Blissful al fresco dining in the Cornish sunshine.
The terrace is the perfect spot for a pre dinner glass of wine.
Carthew Barn is semi-detached and you can see here where the neighbours reside.
Arrive and enter through this main entrance of Carthew Barn, also the perfect spot for a morning coffee listening to the bird song.
Due to its location, there are steps throughout the property.
The enclosed outdoor seating area - sit at the end of the day and watch the stars appear in the night sky.
Some feathered friends may share this far-reaching view with you.
Constantine bay is stunning in the summer but as beautiful in the winter when you're wrapped up warm and cosy.
Padstow at night is very romantic, treat yourself to a candlelight supper and afterwards a stroll around the harbour to watch the sunset.
Trevone beach is a short drive away.
Take the coast path to Daymer Bay and stop and have a paddle.
The Camel Trail can either be cycled or walked. You have two routes to choose from Wadebridge to Padstow, or Wadebridge to Bodmin, or maybe just do both?
Bishop's Wood is part of the Woodland Trust and is a great day out for cyclists and walkers.

Our stay at Carthew Barn was fantastic! The property is truly beautiful both inside and outside. I will miss waking up to the stunning views from the window. We even saw deer a couple times which was really special. The interior of the property has been thoughtfully designed making it feel so homely. Thank you for a wonderful stay! ...

Clean, bright, beautifully furnished and a stunning location with proximity to fantastic beaches, National Trust properties, quaint villages and everything else you may want from Cornwall. Great attention to detail and a lot of thought had been put into thinking about what a guest may want or need. It was like staying in a hotel but with the privacy and relaxation of your own home. Charlotte, the host, was absolutely charming....

We had a wonderful week in the holiday home. The holiday home is beautifully furnished and has everything you need for a relaxing week. There's a coffee machine and plenty of seating (including on the windowsills, with a wonderful view of the river and sea). The wood-burning stove has a beautiful flame pattern and is easy to operate. There's a spacious kitchen with two refrigerators and a freezer, as well as everything you need. We'd love to come back....

We had the best time at the barn. The grounds were fantastic and the whole of our multi generational family loved it . It had everything we needed. We ate out a lot however next time we will cook at the Barn and the range of cooking utensils and space was just like being at home . We were really sad when it was finally time to come home . The location is fantastic for exploring, however the grounds are that beautiful you really don’t need to! Thank you...

The six of us spent a wonderful week at Carthew Barn. The location cannot be beaten, so close to Wadebridge, but very quiet, with a wonderful view to the Camel estuary. The house is very well equipped and we did not miss anything. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Two fridges! A big dining table! The bedrooms are also very nice, even luxurious, particularly the master bedroom. We loved the showers! As we did not have time to use the pizza oven or the fire pit we have to come back (rather sooner than later) !...
