Treglines is a stunningly converted Cornish barn which offers modern style and comfort within a traditional structure.  Excellent sleeping accommodation, with access to the gardens, combines with simply huge living space.  Unless you live in a real New York style loft apartment you will not have experienced the feel good factor that big space offers, this is a self catering holiday accommodation on a grand scale.  The property sleeps up to 10 people with two en suite bathrooms and one shared, and a kitchen/dining table that seats a comfortable 20.  Polzeath Beach is one mile from the house and the delights of North Cornwall speak for themselves.  There is also The Cob next door, a traditional Cornish Cob barn that has two bedrooms sleeping four people.  Perfect if required in addition for larger groups, another family, or simply by itself if you’re not quite looking for the size and splendour of Treglines.

Hidden away at Penberth Cove in West Cornwall, Briar Cottage lies some 200 yards from the sea.  A former "kiddley" in beautiful Penberth Cove (a Cornish meeting or refreshment room selling cider or beer before the days of licensed pubs) Briar Cottage has recently been renovated and is now available for holiday lets.  Penberth is a quiet hamlet, nestled in a sheltered valley, leading down to the fishing cove, with about 10 traditional stone cottages scattered along its length, and surrounded by National Trust owned woodlands and cliffs.  This charming cottage some 200 yards from Penberth Cove water front and slipway has been in the same family ownership for nearly 100 years and has recently undergone a major improvement.  The accommodation is 2 double bedrooms (one with ensuite shower), one bedroom with 2 single beds, and one bunk room.  Sleeping 8 comfortably, there is in addition a family bathroom and a downstairs shower room.  The kitchen/dining room (with Aga) is very large, with a separate utility room, and a cosy sitting room with a log burner.  Outside there is plenty of parking and a large attractive garden with  the Penberth stream on one boundary and large flat lawn areas, ideal for children’s games.  There are views of the cliffs on either side of Penberth Cove, and of the sea, from the garden and there is a secluded patio and part covered area, with barbecue, which is a real sun trap for evening al fresco dining area outside the kitchen.  Enjoy a quiet and peaceful walk down to the Cove or stroll up the Penberth valley in the evening, when the day is done.
