Glynn Barton Farmhouse: Meet The Owners
January 6, 2025Weave through leafy lanes, into a beautiful wooded valley, and settle into life at Glynn Barton Farmhouse – a beautifully restored 17th century building that offers so much more than simply a place to stay. We caught up with the owners of this marvellous countryside retreat – Pippa and James – who describe their home as a rural paradise for all ages. We couldn’t have put it better ourselves.
In three words, how would you describe Glynn Barton Farmhouse?
Truly Magical Holiday…
What kind of experience do you envision for guests staying at Glynn Barton Farmhouse?
It is a totally unique experience. Complete peace and tranquillity in over 100 acres of woodlands and paths right on the doorstep. A complete holiday for everyone of all ages as there is so much to do right here within the grounds from swimming, to soft play, and archery. And it’s relaxing too! The central location makes it possible to plan your day whatever the weather on the north or south coasts.
What are your personal recommendations for things to do nearby?
For the grown up holidays a visit to Restormel Castle and a walk across to the Duchy of Cornwall garden centre is a must. Something for everyone is a trip to Fowey to enjoy the sandy beach of Readymoney cove, an ice cream in town with a mooch around the gorgeous shops and a spot of crabbing on the harbour. Cycling at Cardinham Woods, lunch in the café, and a trip to Discovering 42 in Bodmin for a little science.
How much do you know about the history of the house?
Glynn Barton is a 17th Century Farmhouse which was owned by the Glynn Family. They farmed the local area with Glynn House being the main residence. Glynn Barton Farmhouse was one of many farms located on the estate.
What do you love most about Glynn Barton Farmhouse?
The quietness and the feeling of never ending space. We are only 10 minutes from Bodmin and the A30 but you feel like you are living remotely in a rural paradise. The views of the Glynn Valley are just amazing.
