Staying at this impressive manor house in Cornwall puts your group of 16 friends or family right at the heart of some of the region’s best beaches, walks, and cultural gems. This stretch of coast is packed with sandy favourites like Crantock, Holywell, Polly Joke, and Porth. 4 miles away, Newquay is the UK’s unofficial surfing capital. Take a lesson on Fistral Beach or sit back and soak up the beachside buzz while watching the pros ride the waves. In town, you’ll find a tempting mix of eateries, from casual fish and chips to fine dining. For serious foodies, a trip to Padstow (15 miles) is a must, home to some of Cornwall’s top restaurants. For shopping and culture, head to Truro (10 miles) to browse independent shops or catch a show at the Hall for Cornwall. Local gems include the National Trust’s Trerice, a mile away, and the world-famous Eden Project, 19 miles from home.
Step through the doors of this striking manor house and discover a welcoming world of comfort, character, and timeless charm. Behind the impressive facade, you’ll find interiors thoughtfully finished to blend modern luxury with the original features and grandeur of this historic home. At the heart of the house is a sociable kitchen and breakfast room where you can gather each morning before the day’s adventures begin. The elegant sitting room and characterful library both boast open fires, ideal for cosy evenings during out-of-season stays. There’s also a utility room, laundry room, and traditional pantry, so there are plenty of practical places to store boots, coats, and supplies. A sweeping central staircase leads to eight beautifully appointed bedrooms, each uniquely styled with comfort and relaxation in mind. Garden views and generous space create a peaceful atmosphere throughout. Five of the bedrooms benefit from en-suite bathrooms, and a further family bathroom ensures there’s no waiting around when everyone’s getting ready for the day. For the ultimate treat, in-house catering is available if you’d prefer to put your feet up and leave the cooking to someone else. Younger guests will love the expansive lawn for games and hide-and-seek, while adults might opt for a workout in the private gym or some quiet time with a good book in the library. For a truly special evening, gather in the grand dining room for a celebratory meal to remember.
Outside, wander the grounds with a morning coffee. The sunny terrace is a glorious spot to dine al fresco or simply soak up the surroundings. The grounds are also home to two additional holiday properties available to rent for larger group getaways. Guests at the main manor house have exclusive access to the on-site gym, while all guests can enjoy the shared tennis court. Ample off-road parking for eight cars is available.
