Gorgeous Traditional Cornish Cottage with Hot Tub & Sauna 7m from the Beach

Welcome to Steppes Farm Holiday Cottages near Tintagel in Cornwall. Set in an almost secret valley on the edge of Bodmin Moor – but only 10 minutes from civilisation.

Traditional Barn Owl Cottage is a fabulous light and airy hay loft conversion only 7m from the beach. There is the added bonus of a hot tub and sauna :o)) Ideal to unwind and let those cares drift away. Our water is from our own spring and it's delicious.

Steppes Farm has a magical caring atmosphere that you notice the moment you arrive. It is a pleasure living here and we are delighted to share our home with you guys, who I hope will enjoy it as much as we do ! We love having visitors to stay in the beautiful Cornish countryside of this fabulous part of Britain.

At night the only noises are the hoot of owls and the snuffling of nocturnal wildlife. On clear nights (no light pollution here), the skies are inky black and dotted with a million stars, the most incredible that I have seen anywhere in the world - best viewed from the hot tub – the perfect end to a perfect day x

Bodmin Moor is now a designated International Dark Sky Landscape. The very first classified Dark Sky Park in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Barn Owl Cottage has stunning views with charming, immaculate and luxuriously spacious accommodation. This character Cottage, with its very interesting upside-down arrangement, has gorgeous soft furnishings and offers a relaxing atmosphere with exposed beams. Barn Owl Cottage is warm in winter with a cosy coal burner, while being cool and refreshing in summer.

We are happy to provide the usual comfy towels, linens and a starter pack of household essentials. Our aim is simple - to provide you with immaculate farm cottage accommodation so that you have a wonderful time you will always remember.

HOT TUB & SAUNA facilities are shared between our 3 cottages. We operate a diary system - you just pop down the time you wish to use the facilities and this ensures your private use.
