    “A very nice and cosy place to stay.”

    It was peaceful and tranquil and the,property owners are,lovely people.Loved being on a farm and talking to the owner about his cattle. And very likely, if we get the chance would love to return to for a summertime holiday.

The property

Helston 5.6 miles.

A lovely, detached cottage, converted from a cowshed, set in rural surroundings in a working cattle farm, just outside the village of Porkellis and some six miles from Helston.

Perfect for couples seeking a relaxing break, The Old Cows House offers warm accommodation that welcomes your return after a day exploring the beautiful West Cornwall.

You enter this charming base into the sitting room with dining area, allowing you to unwind before heading to bed.

Rustle up a delicious meal in the well-equipped kitchen, which can be enjoyed at the table while you discuss the day’s events and plan for the next.

Completing the interior is the double bedroom and wet room with shower, basin and WC.

In the morning, savour a steaming cup of coffee in the front patio, before venturing out to explore the wider area.

When you wish to explore there are many country walks one of which will take you to Stithians Lake, perfect for watersports, angling and birdwatching.

Whether playing on the water or just taking in the views, Wild Vibes Cafe at the lake serves up excellent food catering for all dietary needs.

Venture slightly further afield to the bustling coastal town of Falmouth, with many beaches and tranquil creeks and easy access to golf courses, tropical gardens and the coast-to-coast cycle trail.

You might also run into the lovely coves and sheltered beaches along the stretch of coast from Porthleven to Penzance, giving you so much to see and do.

This cottage makes for a unique holiday destination, any time of year.

This property is the perfect location if you are coming down for 'Falmouth Week'.
