Goosehill at Penrose Burden, St Breward is a thoughtfully designed ground-floor barn conversion offering peaceful countryside accommodation for four guests. The characterful open-plan living space features exposed beams and wonderful views across the Camel Valley, with a well-equipped kitchen including electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge / freezer, microwave, and Nespresso coffee machine. The comfortable lounge area centres around a cosy wood burner (first pack of logs provided), with Smart TV, Bluetooth speakers, and a useful tide clock for planning beach days.
Heading outside, two patio areas offer different aspects, one sheltered by the barn walls at the rear, another in the grassed area at the front, both equipped with outdoor furniture and barbecue. Theres's private parking for two cars, along with bike storage available and an outside tap perfect for washing muddy paws and boots. Two beautifully appointed bedrooms provide restful accommodation, both featuring luxury Hypnos mattresses designed to promote better sleep: a king-size room and a flexible king-size zip-and-link which converts to twin 2'6″ beds. Each bedroom benefits from its own en-suite (one with shower over bath, one with separate shower), while thoughtful touches include organic Cornish toiletries throughout.
Picture crisp mornings wrapped in countryside silence, coffee in hand as mist lifts across the Camel Valley. Days unfold at your own pace: perhaps cycling the legendary Camel Trail through rolling landscapes, climbing Brown Willy for spectacular Bodmin Moor vistas, or discovering hidden coves along the dramatic North Cornwall coast. As darkness falls, this designated Dark Sky area reveals spectacular star-filled heavens, best enjoyed from your patio before retreating inside to the wood burner's warm glow.
