A little about us
Get to know Cardwen Farm before you arrive!
Lily Cottage, Erin Cottage and Hook Cottage as well as 17th Century Grade II listed Cardwen Farmhouse are the perfect base to explore Cornwall from. Ideally placed just far enough away from the A38 / A30 you feel nestled by the sea and land but not so far that the sat nav gets you lost down narrow lanes growing turf in the middle…
Many beaches can be easily reached within 5 miles including Looe Beach, Lantic Bay, Hannafore and Talland Bay. The close by South West Coast Path will take your breath away. The quiet tidal riverside village of Lerryn is a little known gem. In fact there is so much to do, see and eat we could write another 10 pages. 7 days may not be enough. The fantastic Adrenaline Quarry, Golf, horse-riding, cycling, art trails, lakes, historical sites and castles, paddling, several beautiful National Trust destinations including Lanhydrock, Cotehele, Antony House. Why not take a glass bottom boat to Looe Island, or try a tipple at nearby Cornish Orchards. Popular Mevagissey, Lost Gardens of Heligan and Eden Project, or further afield the Minack Theatre or Post Isaac (home of TV’s Doc Martin) make great day trips.
Logs bought from the farm (first basket in cottage provided FOC) can be used in woodburners, whilst overhead the lack of street lighting will only allow you to be dazzled by a very special star lit sky. You may even catch the flight of our resident Barn Owls. Lily Cottage guests enjoy Owl TV : a live feed from the owl box in the eves of the barn roof direct to their TV. Cardwen Farmhouse guests can sit outside on their personal patio and see the entrance to the owl box – a firm favourite with many guests.
Taken over by new owners October 11th 2018, Cardwen has seen significant investment including superfast intranet, new mattress’ and linens, upgrades to facilities, redecoration, Smart TV’s and a whole new friendly attitude. Living on site, the Baker Family are always happy to answer any questions or make recommendations. Free fresh eggs from Cardwen Farm’s chickens are available daily.
