The cottages include quality bedding with pocket spring mattresses and allergy-friendly linens, with select units offering additional child-friendly features like stair gates and play equipment.

Our grass-fed beef farm implements low-input environmental stewardship schemes to preserve traditional grasses. We partner with Cornwall Wildlife Trust and participate in the CoaST sustainable tourism initiative. The property uses energy-efficient systems including UV pool treatment and locally sourced materials where possible, balancing modern comforts with ecological responsibility.
