Tranquil six sleeper cottage on a farm with pool

This welcoming stone built barn with its ivy clad façade and vibrant interior can be found at family friendly Tye Farm. Guests young and old will be delighted by the bright colours and Frida Kahlo inspired décor. Enter to a bright and homely sitting room with exposed beams and colourful soft furnishings, a neat kitchen with everything you could need and a separate dining room with glass doors overlooking the gardens – perfect for enjoying a hearty meal or enjoying quality family time. On the first floor, you will find three good sized bedrooms with lofty ceilings open to the rafters. Choose from a double room with its own en-suite shower room, a king size bed or a twin. To the front, the cottage has its own private sitting out area with table and chairs in the courtyard, whilst at the rear, there's a large lawned garden and summer house shared with the neighbouring cottage (Monkey Manor). During the summer months you can enjoy a cooling dip, some family fun or leisurely exercise in the shared outdoor heated swimming pool. Situated in a quiet secluded spot with lovely grounds to explore, yet close to town for amenities, Ducks Crossing is the ideal base for your Cornish family holiday.

The old market town of St Austell, just a mile or two from the south coast, is famous as the historic centre of the china clay mining industry. Today, its many beaches and its sub-tropical gardens provide plenty to see and do. The wonderful Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project are perfect for a family day out, and a little further afield Caerhays Castle provides a stunning backdrop to Porthluny Cove. On the edge of town, St Austell Brewery offers tours of the Victorian brewing equipment and a chance to sample the local beer, and for those looking for surf and sand, St Austell Bay has several beaches to choose from - Porthpean, Carlyon Bay, Pentewan, Polkerris - the last offering a variety of water-sports. As well as a small shingle beach, Charlestown, a pretty, historic port, often has wooden sailing ships in the harbour, and is popular as a film location. A little further afield are Fowey and its beautiful estuary to the east and the fishing port of Mevagissey to the west. With lots to do and something to keep the whole family entertained, St Austell is a great year-round destination.
