About this property
Contemporary converted barn, rural location very close to the coast and Falmouth
The barn has a spacious lounge area looking onto the decking where you can sit and enjoy the warm evenings watching the sunset and wildlife in our fields beyond.
The garden area is securely fenced and the car parking area is close to the cottage.
The open-planned kitchen is well equipped with plenty of space to cook whilst chatting with others.
Both bedrooms sleep two people. One of the bedrooms has two single beds with an ensuite wetroom and toilet. The other bedroom has a kingsize bed and an adjacent bathroom and toilet. We also provide a travel cot if you have a baby under the age of two.
We have 2 sheep (our lawnmowers), 6 curious hens and one friendly dog.

About the host
Hosted by Kathryn Miller
We moved to Cornwall from London in 2008 with a young family of 3 children and fell in love with Higher Lidgey and its environs.
We're a busy household with our three children now away most of the time, studying and pursuing their career ambitions in London, Bristol and Brighton.
Originally from London, we find ourselves doing quite a lot of travelling due to the demands of our work. Kathryn heads up a team of People Development specialists at the University of Bristol.
John is managing director and joint owner of MARK product, a furniture and interior design business, with the manufacturing base in Cornwall and a London showroom.
When we are at home, we love to spend time on the coast, walking, surfing and swimming. The garden and field space around Higher Lidgey is a wonderful place to spend time in.

Why they chose this property
The contemporary designed barn is kept to a high standard and offers a very comfortable stay. It is ideally located between both the North and South coasts. Depending on what you're wanting and the weather, you can easily get to the sea within a 15 min car drive away.
There are plenty of local walks to do from the barn and the village of Ponsanooth (1.5 miles away) has a good pub and well stocked shop for some Cornish goodies.
Dogs are welcome (up to a maximum of 2) and they will enjoy the environs.
