Step Inside

The Dairy has been transformed from a forgotten 1930s barn to a super-stylish holiday home.  The full height open plan living, dining and kitchen area has been carefully mapped out to encourage the relaxation of holiday life.  Sink into the comfortable sofa with a favourite film or enjoy an overdue catch up with your nearest and dearest.  The kitchen is fully fitted in a modern style, the budding chef in the party can get creative with some of Cornwall's finest ingredients including the freshest of fish caught locally.  The indulgent double bedroom has been decked out in soft creams and oatmeal with crisp white linens to compliment whilst the solid oak flooring completes the country cottage ambiance.  After the days coastal adventures then sink into a hot bath in the contemporary bathroom before heading out for a slap up supper Cornish style.

From your Holiday Door

The stable door leads out onto a sun trap paved courtyard offering stunning views across the fields, down the waters edge and away to St Mawes.  To the side of The Dairy is a seating area with bistro style table and chairs perfectly placed for al fresco dining or a mornings coffee.  A large communal field offers a spacious area to take in the view, guests are welcome to use this area.  The Roseland has much to offer and includes some of Cornwall's most breathtaking coastal paths winding their way along the creeks and inlets and out to the iconic St Antony's Head with far reaching views to Falmouth and beyond.  There are a number of places to dine out in the area from the quintessential country pubs to fine dining at the Tresanton Hotel, a picnic on the cliffs or quayside fish and chips you are well catered for.  The area is popular with sailors the world over attracted to the sheltered waters of Carrick Roads, Percuil Sailing Club offer tuition or even try your hand at windsurfing perhaps?  Cornwall's historic city of Truro is a short drive away or take a trip to the north or west coastline for their mile long golden beaches and coastal energy. From The Dairy, guests can walk into Portscatho in approx 20 minutes. Portscatho offers superb places to eat including Tatums Coffee on the quay, The Boathouse and The Standard Inn, serving up the most delicious yet simple ingredients on the outside grills. The Hidden Hut is a fun place to visit and popular with locals and visitors alike, sit above the sands at Porthcurnick Beach and take in al fresco dining at its very best.

Perfection, feels like a home from home. Stunning views and a lovely area. A great little escape.

Jasmin

The Dairy was very comfortable, stylish and in a perfect location: down a quiet lane, set back from the lane, tucked in a corner of a large garden with lovely views down the valley to the sea. All details had been thought about: kitchen equipment, toiletries, kitchen goods (bin liners, washing up liquid). The lighting was good, the furniture comfortable. The bed was comfortable. Although the property is small, there is room for all of one's things: cupboard, countertop and bedside tables in bathroom and bedroom.

I found the staff a delight to liase with, professional but friendly and helpful. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise and treat and the location was stunning. The veranda and equipment although we didn't use it was a lovely idea. Excellent information about the area in the property which was really helpful. Overall great.
