Experience countryside tranquillity and coastal adventures from a characterful barn retreat

The Mowhay, St Minver is a beautifully restored six-bedroom barn conversion offering spacious single-level accommodation ideal for large family gatherings and friends' getaways. The country-style kitchen features a Heritage range cooker, electric oven, ceramic hob, and integrated appliances including dishwasher, washing machine, and Nespresso coffee machine, flowing into a generous dining area with space for ten around the charming table and a comfortable sofa tucked alongside. The gorgeous lounge welcomes you with original beams and exposed granite walls, a warming wood burner, and floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto the lawned garden, whilst the wonderful games room provides entertainment for all ages with its Smart TV, table football, outdoor Jenga, and an inviting collection of board games.

Step outside to discover two lawned areas, including an enclosed garden perfect for children and dogs, complete with dining furniture and sun loungers for lazy afternoons. Fire up the barbecue for alfresco feasts, challenge friends to boules on the dedicated pitch, or enjoy competitive table tennis matches in the bay beside the shed. Six characterful bedrooms sleep up to twelve: a super-king-size room (convertible to twin on request), a king-size master with en-suite shower room, one twin, one smaller twin suitable for children, and two bunk rooms perfect for younger guests. Four well-appointed bathrooms include a wet room with shower, two bathrooms (one with rain shower over bath, one with hand-held shower attachment), plus the master en-suite. Private parking for three cars completes this peaceful countryside sanctuary.

Picture gathering around the wood burner after exhilarating coastal walks, children's laughter drifting in from the garden whilst you prepare feasts in the generous kitchen. Spend sun-drenched days exploring golden beaches and charming fishing villages, returning to this tranquil haven where games room competitions spark friendly rivalry and summer evenings unfold over barbecues beneath the Cornish sky, creating cherished memories that will draw you back year after year.
