Fabulous Cottage
Great, clean and well equipped cottage. Enough parking for three big cars with a good size garden, game room which entertained us all. Beach equipments and bits allowed us to enjoy beach days every day. We would definetly recommend this plays. Fantastic for 8 adults, 4 children and a dog....the space is spectacular huge....never felt crowded and enough space for everyone to chill in their own way. Thank you to lovely owners who responded quickly to any questions we had. One think I would like to say....the duvet size wasn't as stated by owners and we brought bed sheets for double size duvet but actually there were king size duvet on double beds. Otherwise ....this place has no faults to point out.

January Family celebrations
My Family stayed at the old farm house in January, i live just down the road so it was extremely convenient for ua all to come together to celebrate my mums birthday. The house was extremely warm and comfortable, there was plenty of kitchen equipment for us to create meals in large quantities and dine all together. We all had a lovely time.

Lovely cosy home highly recommended
What can I say :) everything about this experience and the property was perfect for us whilst we were working. The location was perfect for us to get to site each day (less than a 5 minute drive away!) the fire for us was a highlight as it just made the property so cosy and warm. rooms were spacious and perfect for us to set up the travel cot ( the host was really helpful when we were trying to locate this) we have already said that we would look to book again in the future if we are ever back down this way.

Good overall.
Good base for our days out. Everything that was needed was provided, couldn't complain. The photos made the Games Room look much more spectacular than it actually was. Lovely, quiet location and the children enjoyed the run of the house.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
The Old Farmhouse has been in the Marsh family since 1996. Most of this time it has been a family holiday home catering at times for up to 20 people! It is still owned by Fred and Brenda Marsh - our parents, both (supposedly) retired now and in their 80's. Fred was originally in telecom electronics and did his National Service in the Royal Navy based at RNAS Culdrose in Cornwall - that's his ship you can see in the picture in the dining room! Day to day running and the taking of bookings is now done by their children (us). Home for Fred and Brenda is in Hertfordshire, after 50 years of living in North London.

Why they chose this property

Family holidays in the 70s and 80s were taken in Cornwall but always under canvas! Fortunately the younger generation rebelled and 'forced' Mum and Dad to invest in bricks and mortar - hence the Old Farmhouse. The place has been treated as a real home from home over the years with four generations of our family there at once, on some occasions - there are some family pictures and a lot of memories around the place. The beaches and the places we visit during our time spent there now are the same as when we were kids - they still hold the same fascination.

What makes this property unique

This is a excellent chill out house - family dining, playing cards, American table tennis and dozing in front of the real fire. This is usually because during the day we are hiking along the coastal paths, playing cricket on the beach or body-boarding in the surf. It's good to then cook a nice dinner and sink a few glasses of wine, as there is enough crockery, cooker space and cutlery to feed all your guests! Finally when we are too tired to cook we get pasties from the world famous Chough Bakery at Padstow or grab a meal at the local Port and Starboard fish and chip restaurant - fantastic quality. Close second is the Merrymoor Inn at Mawgan Porth - don't be put off by the outside the food is very good.
