Cowslip, Gwitihian with views over St Ives Bay
Experience - The Area... With far reaching views over St Ives Bay and just two miles from the beach at Gwithian. Cowslip, Skylark and Meadowside are three thoughtfully renovated, attractive and comfortable properties on a 100-acre working farm once part of the Basset family estate. Set at the end of a long farm drive and within easy reach of all the golden sands and surfing beaches in the vicinity, this is a very convenient base from which to explore mid and west Cornwall, well placed for family holidays. The area abounds with footpaths and bridleways through woodland, nature reserves, open countryside and Tehidy Country Park, and both golf, riding and a surf school are available locally. The South West Coastal Path offers glorious scenery, in particular the dramatic viewpoint at Hells Mouth half a mile away and Godrevy Point, 2 miles, overlooking the lighthouse on Godrevy Island. There are pubs offering food in the villages of Gwithian and Portreath, 2 miles respectively, and a good selection of shops and a supermarket in the town of Hayle about 3 miles away. St Ives is about a 20 minute drive with its picturesque harbour, narrow cobbled streets and home to the Tate Gallery. The old farmyard offers ample car parking, there is undercover storage for bicycles and beachgear, and both stabling and grazing for horses are available. Stay - The Accommodation... With extensive views over peaceful countryside towards St Ives Bay, this renovated single storey barn conversion is the middle one of three, offering light and airy, comfortable accommodation all on the one level. Entered from the spacious parking area, the wide front door leads directly into a bright open plan living room with a quarry tiled floor and underfloor central heating. There is a fitted modern kitchen, a dining area and a comfortable leather three piece suite, all with lovely views of the sea and coastline in the distance. From here, double glazed French Windows open to a small paved patio with views across the surrounding unspoilt countryside towards the cliffs at Hells Mouth. An inner hallway in one corner of the lounge gives access along a small hallway to the bathroom W.C. with hand basin, bath and overhead mixer shower and two pleasantly furnished bedrooms which have a double and twin beds respectively. There is a shared lawn and barbecue area, which has stock proof fencing separating it from the adjacent fields. There are no steps internally in the property making it suitable for a family with an elderly relative. Don't forget... - This property welcomes one dog of any size.

A bit basic and dated
Great location but our cottage smelt of cigarette smoke and was furnished with a mix of very old seventies type furniture. Also, It might not matter to many, but there was no wifi.
For the price we paid we did expect something a bit smarter.
This is a lovely cottage with lots of space both indoors and outdoors. Beautiful views and close to some amazing beaches and locations.
The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our holiday.
lovely cottage, so close to a fantastic beach, 100% will be returning. Farmer Colin, absolute Gold!
Slightly smaller than expected when first arrive, but actually it has everything needed and laid out really well. Everything worked, garden was lovely, the kids were allowed to play any sport in it. Working farm that is very relaxed to be on. Views are amazing and beaches within 5 mins drive
