About this property

The Hayloft - a cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

A short three minute's drive from the beach, this beautiful stone barn conversion is tucked away within the farmlands surrounding Watergate Bay in North Cornwall. Sleeping four guests, The Hayloft has been designed to perfectly compliment the surrounding landscape, with the traditional stone exterior giving way to a sleek and contemporary internal space. Pitched double volume ceilings and interesting angles exude an architectural quality throughout while wooden flooring and exposed timber trusses contrast the bright white colour scheme and give a light and airy quality to the open plan layout. Making the most of its tranquil setting, large glass doors in the main living area open out to a glazed, Juliet balcony and showcase the fantastic far reaching views of a sprawling, patchwork landscape and vast Cornish skies.

The living room, featuring a bespoke log burner and a large, sinkable sofa is the perfect place to catch up on a good book, and the well-designed kitchen with adjacent dining area creates a sociable space for sharing a delicious home cooked meal together. For those warm summer's evenings guests can choose to dine outdoors where the sun-soaked terrace complete with furniture and bench seating, offers plenty of opportunity for barbecuing and entertaining within the tranquil atmosphere of the surrounding countryside. Downstairs on the lower ground level, are the property's two double bedrooms as well as a modern family shower room. Both bedrooms have been designed and furnished to create a quiet refuge, with built-in cupboards providing ample storage space, and a television in the master bedroom.

Outside, a second patio with a pair of loungers provides a relaxing suntrap, with a third covered space designed for the storage of surfboards and beach gear. Situated on a working farm, The Hayloft offers guests the opportunity to explore the grounds and even includes a pen opposite the property where a handful of its rare-breed lambs are kept.

The best stay for Christmas

Wow, what an incredible gem nestled in the beautiful countryside. The Hayloft is such a beautiful home and we had the most enjoyable Christmas here. No expense has been spared with a great quality kitchen space and great quality appliances. So many lovely touches around the home with nothing amiss to make our stay so homely. It was absolutely spotless, the beds were exceptionally comfy and a great shower. Helen was on hand if needed too, and super helpful when required too. A lovely walk down to Watergate Bay and an easy drive into Newquay and other beautiful places around Cornwall. The Christmas tree was also a lovely touch, thank you for a memorable stay.

Beautifully thought out accommodation with wonderful views

We had a wonderful week in this blissful, rural retreat on a working farm, designed to the highest standard. Superbly fitted out kitchen with everything you could possibly need and wonderful private outdoor dining/sitting areas.

Lovely Stay

We really enjoyed our stay at The Hayloft. The facilities were perfect, we ate in for most of our stay, the kitchen has everything you need. The weather wasn’t brilliant so did spend time in the Hayloft watching the animals, the ducks waddling by. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Amazing place!

Absolutely beautiful place in a beautiful setting. Attention to detail was amazing. First class place to stay. Very comfortable and homely and loved all the little things that the owners had decorated the cottage with. Outside space was beautiful and loved sitting out in the evenings enjoying the view. Would definitely stay again. One of the best places to stay in Cornwall

Beautiful barn

If you are surfing at Watergate Bay, look no further. Just up the hill from the Bay, (so avoid the crowds) drive/walk down in your wetsuit, surf, hop back in the car, 1 minute you are back at home. Enjoy the shower outside (warm) and the collapse in comfort over a cuppa, looking out over rolling hills Bliss. This is a working farm so you get farm noises.

Perfect coastal holiday

This is the perfect place to go for a coastal holiday, especially if you have dogs. Watergate Bay is a short walk away and many other dog friendly beaches are a short drive away. The accommodation is superb. The living space is on the upper level with floor to ceiling windows that look out over the beautiful Cornish countryside. It's beautifully furnished and well equipped, the thoughtful owners provide all the essentials you might need such as cleaning and washing products and also a lovely gift tray of local treats. It's on a working farm, so expect some farmyard noises from time to time! Overall though it's a very peaceful spot. Highly recommend thebarnatcoastalvalley.com for food, a short walk from the accommodation on a nearby campsite.

Hayloft Watergate Bay

The Hayloft was spotlessly clean. Everything you could possibly need and more was provided. Attention to detail was impressive and a lovely welcome pack too. We’ve been coming to Cornwall for over 40years and the Hayloft is one of the nicest places we have stayed. Fantastic position, countryside views and short walk to a lovely beach. Our dog enjoyed watching the ducks waddling past everyday! Farmer very friendly, and congratulations to his wife for the lovely decor and design of the Hayloft. We will be back. Have recommended it to all friends and family. We had a superb week.

A Perfect Dog-Friendly Escape – Peaceful, Stylish, and Close to the Beach

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful holiday home. From the moment we arrived it felt like a true home away from home. The house was spotlessly clean, modern and thoughtfully designed with everything we needed for a relaxing break. It’s hard to find genuinely dog friendly places but this one is a gem. The outdoor space felt safe and secure, giving our dogs the freedom to enjoy themselves while we soaked in the peaceful countryside views. Waking up to the sight of farm animals just beyond the garden was such a treat. Idyllic and grounding. The bed was extremely comfortable with high quality linens which made for a great night’s sleep after long beach walks. Despite its secluded and peaceful location, the beach was only a two minute drive or a short walk away, making it easy to enjoy the best of both coast and countryside. We couldn’t have asked for more. Clean, comfortable, quiet and welcoming. An ideal escape for both humans and their four legged friends. We’ll definitely be back.
