Kingfisher Barn, stunning location, private hot tub, tennis, river frontage

*** Cornwall Tourism Awards Self Catering Accommodation of the Year '23 / '24 Silver Award winners.***

Kingfisher Barn is a multi-award-winning attractive stone converted 4-bedroom barn providing superior accommodation for up to 8 people. Set over 2 floors, the top floor boasts a stunning large open plan lofty beamed ceiling kitchen / living area (approximately 5m x 10m) with oak flooring, dining table and a fitted kitchen with all modern conveniences. Outside there’s a private garden area with al-fresco dining, BBQ and private hot tub, a tree perfect for children to climb on and herbs for adding to your dinner.

The 4 bedrooms have comfortable beds with luxury Egyptian cotton linen. 3 bedrooms can be configured with either a king sized or twin singles, and the fourth has a full sized bunk bed.

There are so many things to do here and out and about, but for any rainy days, the barn comes complete with a 49″ wall mounted satellite television, Blu-Ray/DVD player and 5.1 surround sound. You can even connect your iPod / iPhone wirelessly to the sound system to play your favourite tunes whilst you cook or eat. There are books and DVDs in the the property for your use.

In the words of a recent guest: "better in real life than you could imagine! The farm was just stunning, the comfort & interior were exquisite & the hot tub was the cherry on top. Couldn’t recommend enough. Absolutely stunning, dreamy, beautiful!"

Lower Marsh Farm, Landulph, is set within an Area of Outstanding National Beauty on the River Tamar. A former Duchy of Cornwall renowned daffodil farm, Lower Marsh Farm is on the outskirts of the pretty village of Landulph benefiting from the secluded feel of being a million miles from City life but with the convenience of being striking distance of modern amenities. On the farm there are Highland Cattle, chickens, ducks, peacocks and lots of wildlife (including deer in the woods), so normally plenty of zero food mile eggs are available!

Within the grounds you can enjoy a game of tennis, your own private hot tub, games room (with table tennis table), orchard with a hammock for relaxing and admiring the view, basketball hoop, private woodland and shingle river beach (tidal and yes, swimming is possible!).

The farm grounds include a magical Salt Marsh Nature Reserve. This rare salt marsh habitat boasts an interesting array of flora and fauna. With herons, buzzards, egrets, kingfishers, pheasants, owls and bats galore. Lower Marsh Farm offers the nature lover around 40 acres of opportunities for rambling, bird watching, or just enjoying the peace and quiet of the Cornish countryside.

In easy reach are beaches, fantastic gardens, and lots of activities for all ages. Our guests can purchase discounted tickets for the Lost Gardens of Heligan.

Children and babies are welcome and we have a cot, high chair and stair-gate available by prior arrangement (plus we can provide a baby bath, kitchen cupboard door locks etc).
We have ample parking and storage areas for bikes and surf boards.

You are welcome to bring 1 or 2 well-behaved dogs by prior arrangement (we apply a £20 charge per dog to cover the additional cleaning requirements).

During the months of Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb & Mar, there is a daily charge of £20 if you want the hot tub to be switched on and ready for your use.

After a day of exploring the Farm and nearby areas, relax with a drink in front of a roaring log burner – you are welcome to use wood from our wood store.

This is a NO SMOKING (inc vapes) property with FREE Wi-Fi, luxury Egyptian Cotton bed linen, fluffy cotton towels, and heating are included. Early check-in (up to 2 hours at £15 per hour) / late check-out (by 1 hour at £30) can be booked - availability will be confirmed on request.

There are plenty of sailing opportunities in the nearby safe waters of the Tamar estuary and there is a yacht club approximately 1 mile away in Cargreen. For Golfers, a few miles away is the St.Mellion International Resort and for non-golfers there are luxurious spa facilities.

There are a number of bookable experiences and treats here at Lower Marsh Farm including private wild food foraging workshops, stand-up paddle boarding (SUP), wine or gin tasting evenings, spa treatments, afternoon tea, suppers and more.

Great holiday
We had a wonderful break at Lower Marsh Farm, a beautiful location, very peaceful with lots to keep the kids entertained. We were perfectly happy chilling around the farm, feeding the chickens, ducks and peacocks, playing tennis and table tennis and plenty of walks from the doorstep. We even collected some apples and blackberries on the farm and made a crumble. The owners were on holiday but Ian was very helpful and always around to help with a cheery smile. The hot tub and the bbq were great and the wellies in the boot room came in handy as the walk to the saltmarsh can be boggy. We also booked SUP with Mel from Mai Adventures which was excellent! The living area and bedrooms in Kingfisher Barn were great but the bathroom and toilet need some tlc as they are looking grubby. Could do with a lick of paint and re: grouting/seals to freshen them up. The only other thing is the kitchen was missing a few things such as small saucepans (only really large pans which are not ideal if you just want to warm up a tin of beans) and it could do with a couple of flat oven trays. We had a very relaxing, enjoyable and memorable holiday.

Wonderful trip
We had such a great stay at the Kingfisher barn! The accommodation was as described and worked well for our 2 families of 4 (kids aged between 7-4) with particularly strong reviews for the bunk beds from the 7 year olds :) The property was beautiful with some great walks and areas to explore. The kids loved feeding the animals and collecting fresh eggs in the morning. The hot tub was a nice feature for everyone. The host was very efficient and helpful. The staff were so friendly, helpful and amazing. We ordered one of the heat up suppers on evening and the lasagne was delicious. The local area was also great - it wasn't too far to Seaton Beach which is perfect for the kids and has a nice cafe. We also went to a Landmark Trust at Cotehele (about 20 mins away) which was a great little visit. Overall a great spot to relax and enjoy the Tamar Valley.

A great place to relax.
Warm and comfortable. Wonderful log burner. Hosts were extremely helpful and went out of their way to assist by going to buy a new DVD player when we had problems with the existing one. They provided plenty of extra things too for the young children. It is a quiet and peaceful place in which to relax - especially with the hot tub. We enjoyed some interesting walks around the grounds and to the river.

Nice Property
If you stay here you will probably have a nice break but be aware that the property is in a very rural location and is approached by some very narrow, steep muddy lanes. If you all go to bed at the same time you will be fine but because all of the bedrooms are downstairs with all of the living space upstairs with wooden floors you may find it difficult to nod off. All in all a nice property. Smokers be aware that you are not allowed to smoke anywhere on the property or its land.
