Set in a quiet rural location, close to the enchanting coastline of North Cornwall, this sophisticated hideaway near Mawgan Porth sets the scene for a magical couple's escape. This scenic spot offers the perfect base to explore the wonderful beaches of Watergate Bay and along the coast to Harlyn Bay and Treyarnon Bay (all within 11 miles). Venture to the bustling town of Padstow (10.5 miles) to explore its selection of independent cafes and restaurants or search for marine wildlife whilst aboard Padstow Sealife Safaris – a high-speed boat ride from Padstow Harbour out to the Camel Estuary. Those who love life by the water will not be disappointed with Newquay (8 miles), a water sports enthusiast's paradise, with opportunities for surfing, sailing and swimming amongst its 7 miles of sandy beaches.

Combining stylish decor with a nod to the original calf house, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that welcomes you into the heart of this barn conversion is bursting with rustic charm, boasting characterful features including beaten wood shutters, exposed beams and exposed granite plinths. This lovingly furnished, inviting space full of natural light enjoys a high ceiling that creates a welcome sense of space, as well as a wood burner-effect electric fire that sets the scene for pure relaxation. A few steps up from the open-plan living space leads to the spacious king-size bedroom, which boasts shutters and original high ceiling beams, offering a haven to ensure a restful night’s sleep before starting your next day with a soak in the en-suite bathroom, which features a free-standing roll-top bath.

Soak up your tranquil surrounding scenery from the comfort of the bubbling hot tub set on the patio, or sit back and relax on the bistro set in the large, landscaped courtyard – the perfect spot for dining alfresco. There is also private parking for three cars.

We had a wonderful stay at The Calf House! Its in a great location and the enclosed courtyard means its completely secluded (nothing for the dog to bark at!!). The cottage has everything youd need, would definitely recommend!

The Calf House was an amazing place to spend a week in Cornwall! We were so impressed with all the lovely small touches the owners left for us - fresh flowers, scones, tea and prosecco on arrival. It really felt like a hotel!! The owners have gone above and beyond. The decor is beautiful and you have everything you need and more in the kitchen (cofRead morefee machine, coffee pods, ground coffee, cafetire, tea bags, oil etc.) The courtyard is fully enclosed meaning your dog can explore without worry of them escaping. The hot tub was a real highlight, as well as the lovely courtyard area. We will definitely be back next time we visit Cornwall. Thank you for such a pleasant stay. Hide

What a wonderful find. Such a beautiful little cottage tucked away from the outside world but only 20 minutes from so many places to visit. The cottage itself is stunning and so cosy beautifully decorated and clean. We arrived to find fresh flowers, afternoon tea, treats for the dogs and more. The bed is super comfortable I cant remember the last Read moretime I slept so well. Outside is a fully enclosed garden so the dogs could run around and a hot tub which was lovely to sit in at the end of the day. We cant wait to go back hopefully at the end of the summer. Thank you to our wonderful hosts for making a place so special. Hide

My partner and I had a wonderful stay at the Calf House and would highly recommend it. A lot of love has gone into creating this space, with real attention to detail throughout. The layout is fantastic with a large open-plan area combining the kitchen, dining, and living/TV space, making the property feel incredibly spacious, while the separate Read morebedroom still offers plenty of privacy. The place also appears to have been recently renovated, and all of the appliances worked perfectly during our stay. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches from the hosts, such as milk, tea, and other essentials, which made us feel very welcome. The bathroom is a little oasis, featuring a large tropical-style shower, and the outdoor jacuzzi was the perfect way to relax after a long coastal walk. The gated outdoor area was another highlight, giving us privacy and allowing our dogs to roam freely and safely. The only minor downside was that we needed to drive to reach nearby towns and pubs, as the road outside is quite busy for walking. However, this didnt take away from what was otherwise an excellent stay. We would absolutely return if we find ourselves back in Cornwall. Hide
