Midwinter (sleeps 6)

Midwinter is a beautifully crafted barn, where local stone and carefully chosen architectural details bring warmth, character and a wonderful sense of home to this contemporary retreat.

Step into the heart of the barn and discover a striking open plan living, dining and kitchen space, where soaring ceilings and an abundance of natural light create an immediate feeling of calm, space and understated luxury.

The sociable kitchen is sleek and modern in style, with deep cabinetry and rich green tiling adding a confident design touch, while everything has been thoughtfully arranged for easy holiday living and memorable meals together.

Whether you are preparing a relaxed breakfast before a day on the coast or lingering over supper at the large dining table, this is a space designed for gathering, reconnecting and enjoying time well spent.

The living area is equally inviting in every season, from summer stays with the doors flung open to the garden, to cosy winter escapes when the crackle of the fire and the comfort of the large corner sofa make it hard to leave.

At the end of the day, step down to the peaceful bedroom wing, where three beautifully styled bedrooms and a family bathroom continue the sense of thoughtful design and quiet indulgence that flows throughout the barn.

Each bedroom has its own distinct character, with a sophisticated palette ranging from bottle greens and soft greys to warmer burnt orange tones, creating restful spaces with their own individual luxury feel.

The bathrooms are every bit as beautifully considered, finished with cool contemporary fittings that bring an extra touch of comfort and refinement to your stay.

Designed to make the very most of its inside-outside feel, the garden stretches along the full front of Midwinter, creating a wonderfully inviting extension of the living space.

Slide back the full-height glass doors and step onto the paved terrace, where comfortable seating and a chimney-style fire pit set the scene for slow mornings, relaxed afternoons and long evenings in the open air.

With the gate closed along the path, the garden becomes a secure space for children and dogs to play freely, while the planted borders bring seasonal colour and attract bees and butterflies in the spring, adding to the sense of calm and connection with nature.

Perfectly positioned for exploring, Midwinter places some of Cornwall’s most loved beaches, coastal villages and attractions within easy reach, making it wonderfully simple to shape each day exactly as you please.

Just five miles away, Gwithian Beach offers a breathtaking sweep of golden sand and Atlantic surf, ideal for windswept walks, beach days and unforgettable sunsets.

After days spent discovering the county, return to Midwinter and make use of the EV charger, allowing you to travel a little more lightly while enjoying the comfort and ease of this beautifully considered retreat.

From nearby St Erth, hop aboard the branch line train to St Ives and enjoy one of the country’s most picturesque harbour towns, with its galleries, boutiques, beaches and vibrant food scene.

Head west to experience the drama and myth of Land’s End, or spend your days exploring the tin mining heritage that threads its way along this remarkable coastline.

Whether your holiday is filled with adventures by the sea or slower moments spent unwinding in peaceful surroundings, Midwinter offers a beautifully stylish place to return to and live your very best Cornish escape.
