  • A charming reverse-level stone barn conversion surrounded by idyllic Cornish countryside
  • Light the wood burner in the open-plan living space, or enjoy lazy days on the suntrap patio
  • With direct access to the Camel Trail, this tranquil retreat is ideal for walkers and cyclists   
Property code: OC-P00437

The Byre offers the most wonderful place to take your family for that memorable Cornish holiday. This beautiful and spacious stone barn conversion will meet all your expectations without effort and will fast become a regular holiday base for many. It is tucked away down a leafy lane in the tranquil River Camel Valley intertwining with the famous Camel Trail.

The Byre has an open plan interior with exposed beams upstairs. The underfloor heating and woodburner will ensure visitors to The Byre are warm whatever the weather. Although there are extensive grounds to roam, there is also an enclosed courtyard garden exclusively for The Byre.

The gorgeous barn is ideally located for exploring the whole of Cornwall being only a 10-15-minute drive from the A30 so a trip to Tate St Ives is only an hour away, the Eden Project about 25 minutes and it's only a 20-minute drive to Padstow and the North Coast beaches. You are well placed to explore the rest of Cornwall and discover those special hidden places that have drawn so many to our county over the years.

Bringing bikes or hiring them locally is highly recommended as The Byre is situated alongside the top end of the Camel Trail, which offers 18 miles of off road walking and cycling. You can cycle through the old market town of Wadebridge and on to Padstow and the Camel estuary one way or inland to The Snail Pace cafe found at Wenford Bridge on Bodmin Moor. The Byre provides a secure building for storing bikes and surfboards, etc.

The grounds also include a stretch of the River Camel that is accessible to guests who can fish on the private land of The Dairy (please note that a Rod Licence for fishing needs to be purchased).

The tranquil setting of The Byre is the perfect stop to relax and chill out after a busy day. So whether your perfect holiday consists of participating in a range of activities, sightseeing or a relaxing break; then The Byre is the place for you!

The Byre and its sister barns The Hayloft and The Stable make up The Dairy Barns. They have been lovingly restored to provide luxury accommodation, full of character and charm. Though totally detached and independent from each other, they can be booked together to make the perfect venue for family get-togethers and celebrations.

This is our third year at The Byre. Its a welcoming, clean, cosy and well equipped home from home. We were met by the new owner Jo who ensured we had everything we needed plus some treats as a celebration of her new venture. We wish her every success and look forward to coming back to The Byre.

Super staying a lovely, tranquil comfortable and well equipped cottage. It has been thoughtfully laid out and worked for us brilliantly meeting needs of kids, grandparents parents and dog. The outside area was lovely for sitting out, and lovely quiet and secluded. We enjoyed exploring along the camel trail to Padstow - the bike shed was really hanRead moredy. And both north and south coast attractions are all in easy reach. A great base and lovely place to chill out. Recommended! Hide
