Situated on a family-run smallholding home to pigs and chickens just moments from the sea, Swallows is a well-appointed barn conversion ideal for a family or couple looking for a peaceful Cornish break.
Arranged all on the ground floor, the property is accessible for wheelchair users with a spacious wet room, while outside there’s a large communal garden laid mainly to lawn with a play area, plenty of storage for surfboards, and a washing area for wet suits and other equipment.
The farm faces National Trust land and has direct access to the South West Coast Path running between Porthtowan, a large sandy beach popular with surfers, and Chapel Porth backed by steep cliffs home to old mining ruins.
St Ives can be reached in around half an hour which has a picturesque tidal harbour, a good range of independent shops and boutiques, world-class seafood restaurants, and Tate St Ives showcasing works by modern British artists.
Known for its elegant Georgian architecture, farmer’s markets, Gothic Revival cathedral, and the Royal Cornwall Museum with extensive displays on Cornish heritage, and mineral collections rooted in the county’s mining and engineering heritage, Truro is a 20 minute drive away.
For a peaceful day out, a trip to Tehiddy Country Park is a must. The largest area of woodland in West Cornwall has excellent walking trails, plenty of wildlife, a lake, café, and picnic area.
A village store, post office, beach shop, and traditional coaching inn with a sheltered beer garden that serves locally sourced, home cooked food are all within walking distance.
