Welcome to Cardwen Farm
Cardwen is a 17th Century Grade II Listed farm house bed and breakfast and two barn conversion holiday cottages all set in over three acres of notable gardens on the beautiful south coast of Cornwall. The stream runs the whole length of the garden on its way to the sea at Polperro. It makes two ponds within the garden, one for our beautiful Aylesbury ducks and another further from the house where a pleasant evening can be spent watching the brown trout jumping.
For the last four years we have had barn owls nesting in one of our cottages and delighted us as they feed their broods. There is ample gardenfurniture, so that a secluded spot can always be found for sunbathing, lunching, or just relaxing with a bottle of wine.
Spring is a favourite time at Cardwen when the garden glories in over 60 varieties of camellia as well as many different rhododendron and azalea shrubs
