Mowhay

Truro, Cornwall

For a traditional Cornish farmhouse stay with added luxury and unrivalled sea views, head to Mowhay. It’s one of several holiday cottages, Granary, Hayloft, Gwendra Wartha and Dairy Cottage that make up the tiny farming hamlet of Gwendra on the Roseland Peninsula.

Inside, low beamed ceilings, an open fireplace and wood flooring give the three-bedroom cottage a refined rustic feel. Step outside to its shared garden, where you’ll be on the fringes of south Cornwall’s coastline, overlooking the sea. 

You’ll be a short walk from the sandy beaches of Carne and Pendower. From here you’ll be able to loop on to the South West Coat Path for longer walks along the Roseland Peninsula. Head east to the pretty village of Veryan, with its thatched round houses, pubs and shops. Or hike west along the coast to Portscatho and St Mawes.
