Inside Swallow Barn

Step inside Swallow Barn, a rustic 16th-century converted hay barn covered with ivy on our family owned Cornish hill farm between P enzance and St Ives As you enter, you'll discover a quirky space decorated with art, photography, books, and fresh flowers picked from our own gardens.

The Sitting Room:

The Sitting Room is a peaceful sanctuary where you can sit in the famous Cornish light, which pours in through the sliding doors and the reclaimed GWR windows. Warmed by a wood burner, it invites you to unwind and make yourself at home. Sliding  doors open onto a private patio, constructed with reclaimed Great Western Railway bricks, complete with a barbecue, table, and chairs. This patio leads to a large  lawn that extends up into our fields and woodlands, ultimately connecting you with the open moor and our very own ancient Iron age village built on Bronze Age Foundations – an open  invitation to explore the great outdoors on our 100-acre private estate .

The Quirky Cottage Kitchen:

The quirky Cottage Kitchen features a Cornish dresser, farmhouse table from which you can plan your days adventures. 

The Cosy Bedroom:

The secret bedroom at Swallow Barn offers a snug and private space. Here, you'll find a comfortable pocket-sprung double bed adorned with fine cotton linens and a feather and goose down duvet and pillows. The room is softly lit, with two sunny windows that allow the gentle warmth of natural light to fill the space, creating a serene atmosphere for a restful night's sleep.

The Bathroom:

The Bathroom features a traditional Cornish slate floor and a mosaic stone-tiled power shower, ensuring you have access to unlimited hot water. Please note that Swallow Barn does not have a bathtub, as many traditional Cornish cottages are designed this way. The Bathroom is located downstairs and is accessed via a steep narrow and winding spiral staircase. Only for the nimble.

Practical and Spacious:

Swallow Barn is designed for your comfort and convenience. With its own drive and parking space just outside the front door, it opens to a large entrance room that provides ample space for storing all your gear, whether it be muddy boots, surfboards, or coats.
