A very relaxing holiday

The cottage couldn't have been more comfortable! It was also very well equipped and in a truly magnificent location. Our younger teen loved the raised platform bed, and we all slept extremely well all week. Barbara's advance information enabled us to plan our stay - catching the bus into the centre of St Ives, visiting the Tremenseere Sculpture park - highly recommended, even on a very misty day! - and enjoying a beautiful walk along the coastal path around Zennor. Thank you Barbara, we had a really lovely holiday.

Tranquil location within walking distance of St Ives

This really is a splendid holiday location. The house is homely, set in farmland with its own garden. Sea and hill views, and paths from the house that take you to St Ives and the coastal path. We had a brilliant week in April and are likely to return! We visited the Geevor Tin mine which is excellent, and did lots of hiking. Also booked in for surf lessons with the St Ives Surf School, very friendly and encouraging. All in all, I highly recommend a stay at Haulfre, Trowan.

Stay at Trowan

Lovely house in a beautiful rural setting, close to the coast path with walks on the doorstep yet only a 5 min drive into St Ives. Good location to explore this part of Cornwall.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Schofield

My family love Cornwall in the far west of England -- a region noted for its wonderful beaches, dramatic cliff top walks and picturesque fishing villages. We have spent many happy holidays here. We acquired our property, Haulfre in Trowan Farm, after an exhaustive search and believe St Ives and the surrounding area is the very finest and most beautiful part of a very outstanding area. We are journalists and academics leading busy lives so we appreciate this haven of peace and beauty. We love it in all seasons.
We have made the house more than the usual 'holiday house' - there are paintings, books, CDs and DVDs available for guests and try to create a special atmosphere of home from home.

Why they chose this property

St Ives is a picturesque fishing village in the far west of Cornwall, famous for its perfect beaches and artistic community. The St Ives school of painters were inspired by the natural beauty of the area and the quality of the light. St Ives has many fine restaurants and small boutiques and cafes and is home to the famous Tate St Ives with its contemporary art collections. There are five very lovely beaches one particularly good for surfing - all with beautiful fine sand. From our house you can walk to St Ives across fields and over cliff tops in about 25 minutes. This is an entirely car free route with spectacular views. Alternatively it takes 5 minutes to drive there. Further west is Lands End and a spectacular landscape of cliff views and hamlets with interesting churches.

What makes this property unique

An architect designed, detached, very private property with a pretty garden and lawns. It is surrounded by fields and looks out to sea. The sunsets are astonishing and the night sky full of stars. The house is furnished to a high standard with a large well equipped hand built kitchen. A wood burning stove adds a cosy feel to the dining room, and there is full central heating for visits out of season. The master bedroom is en suite and there is an additional bathroom. There is ample room to relax both inside the house on the patio. One well behaved dog is welcome. The hamlet of Trowan is car free, making it entirely safe for children. Haulfre offers a perfect holiday haven in five star comfort -- with easy access to the beaches, villages and landscape of western Cornwall.
