Set within breathtaking countryside, yet close to the coast

Immersed in the stunning countryside of The Roseland Peninsula, The Cowshed offers a warm and inviting escape. This luxurious hideaway accommodates up to 8 guests, providing a relaxing retreat with a touch of Cornish tranquility. With sweeping views of the sea and a postcard-perfect coastline, it's an ideal seaside getaway. The chic interiors and thoughtful design make it perfect for any season, whether you're planning a cozy winter weekend or a laid-back summer holiday. Nearby, Portscatho and St Mawes offer charming spots to eat, drink, and explore in this special corner of Cornwall.

This beautiful property provides us with the perfect place for our family get-together. You've thought a lot about your guests needs - we've had a wonderful time here!

Step Inside

Originally a 1930s farm building, The Cowshed has been expertly renovated using repurposed materials to create the stylish holiday home it is today. Step inside to a spacious, light-filled, open-plan living area with high ceilings and a welcoming atmosphere. The barn’s clever design maximizes space while creating distinct areas for relaxation and daily life.

The living area, with its oversized corner sofa and modern technology—featuring Airplay wireless music and a large wall-mounted TV with SKY—is the heart of the home. This versatile space is perfect for cozy nights by the fire or leisurely mornings planning the day's adventures.

A sleek glass and polished steel staircase leads to the enviable dining room and designer kitchen below. Fully equipped, this kitchen is ideal for anything from fine dining celebrations to casual brunches, with every dish, pan, and utensil carefully selected. The chic white dining table, set by a sunny window, comfortably seats 10.

From the living room, a hallway offers level access to three beautifully styled bedrooms, each reminiscent of a boutique hotel. At the end of the day, you can sink into luxurious linens and unwind. A fourth bedroom, located on the mezzanine above the living room, offers stunning sea views and features a zip-and-lock bed, plus a large wall-mounted TV with SKY channels.

The collection of contemporary bathrooms is equally impressive, with thoughtful details like a handmade jade green washbasin and locally sourced Trevarno toiletries. After a day at the coast, you can rinse off the sand and salt in style. The entire barn is decorated in cool whites and blues, with local artwork adding warmth and character to this charming space.

On Your Doorstep

Step into the spacious garden and enjoy the peaceful rural surroundings. At the front of The Cowshed, there’s a large paved area that leads to a sun-soaked spot with loungers, offering breathtaking views of the fields, sea, and the Percuil River near St Mawes. 

At the barn's gable end, a cozy seating area features an all-weather corner sofa and coffee table, perfect for relaxing with a drink. There’s also a larger dining table that seats up to 10, ideal for al fresco dining as the sun sets over the fields. The open field is available for everyone to enjoy—whether it’s the kids playing football or a family picnic. A gate at the front leads to a shared, lush green field where children can play safely, or you can enjoy a game of croquet.

If you’re new to The Roseland Peninsula, you’ll love its relaxed pace, quiet shores, and nautical charm. St Mawes is a delightful town with artisan cafes, restaurants, and traditional pubs. The Carrick Roads area attracts yachts from around the world, drawn by its safe sailing waters and sheltered inlets, including St Just in Roseland and Mylor.

For a beach day, several sandy coves like Porthcurnick, Pendower, Carne, and Towan are just a short drive away. A half-mile down the road is Percuil, a charming spot buzzing with boatyard life. In the summer, you can take sailing lessons, explore the creeks by kayak, or embark on a Cornish cruise.

Day trips to North Cornwall or the rugged cliffs of Land’s End are easy options too. The Roseland Peninsula is full of fantastic places to enjoy Cornish cuisine. The Hidden Hut on Porthcurnick Beach is a must-visit, just a 20-minute walk from The Cowshed. Enjoy fresh food while overlooking the sea. Tatums coffee house in Portscatho boasts some of the best views in the area, while The Boathouse serves hearty breakfasts and home-cooked meals. The Standard Inn grills simple yet delicious dishes outside. For fine dining, head to The Driftwood, Rosevine, or the Tresanton Hotel in St Mawes, which offers incredible sea views.

For a unique experience, try a cooking class at the nearby Philleigh Way Cookery School, with courses ranging from BBQ skills to seafood dishes. Coffee lovers will appreciate the barista expertise at Tatums on the quay in Portscatho—all within walking distance of your holiday home.

For larger groups of up to 10 then choose to take The Dairy in addition to The Cowshed offering a further bolthole just-for-two.
