Pool, hot tub, gardens and grounds
Release the kids and dogs outside to find meandering lawns and mature gardens. Delight in a game of hide and seek amongst the two acre grounds. Escape the hustle and bustle to the secluded oasis of the woodfired hot tub. Soak up the garden views. Unwind after dark, take friends and fizz to admire twinkling heavens above.
The swimming pool will beckon those seeking a refreshing dip. Elevated on a terrace overlooking the house and surrounding countryside, the pool’s breathtaking vista won’t fail to wow. No need for towels down at dawn, there’s enough loungers for everyone. The pool itself is a marvel of eco-friendliness, with crystal-clear Spring water heated by an airsource heat pump.
Immerse yourself in nature’s embrace; the landscaped gardens offer a multitude of seating, viewing, and relaxing morning coffee corners. A sizeable outdoor terrace with charcoal barbecue and super sized refectory table is ideal for raucous al-fresco feasts or long, lazy lunches.
For a gentle stroll, embark on a 2km farm walk from the convenience of your own doorstep, with local flora and fauna in abundance.

Serve up on the handsome farmhouse table with seating for at 14 guests and more. On sunny mornings and warm evenings, the double doors lead you outwards to savour delectable dishes around the long terrace table.
Looking to fire things up? Load the barbecue with wild bass from Pengelly’s fishmongers Looe or local sausages from Oughs butchers in Liskeard. On chef’s day off, head coastwards to the The Beach House Seaton for summer sunset dining or in winter, devour the best roast on the coast. Grab the catch of the day at the characterful Plough at Duloe or treat yourself to Cornish ribeye washed down with Silas cider and stunning Tamar views from the Finnygook Inn.
When takeaway is order of the day, head to Liskeard where there will be something to please all tastes. Share a chicken chum chum or Rajastani lamb from the Himalayan Spice. The Hot Wok Renaissance and New Kwong Lee fit the bill for those wanting Chinese or for classic British Fayre, try Liskeard Fish & Chips or Ian’s Plaice.
