Unique ancient Cornish barn, oozing charm and character. The cottage is situated in a secluded rural location, up a mile long, single-track lane which passes through a stream. It is set within Cleave Farm’s own fields and woodland and is only 250 metres to the spectacular, rugged Cornish path and coastline. Cleave Farm is only a six minute drive from gorgeous Crackington Haven.
This cosy cottage sleeps four in a double room with king-sized bed and a twin room. Cleave Cottage has slate and wooden floors, stone walls and original old wooden beams. This ‘upside down’ cottage has a lovely contemporary feel, whilst maintaining its unique rustic character. It has central heating and a cosy wood burner. It is open plan upstairs with shower room and bedrooms downstairs. The kitchen and living space is open plan and spacious. There is a fully fitted kitchen/diner with large fridge/freezer, microwave, and dishwasher. The wooden oak floor of the open plan area, slopes gently as it did in the days when it was an old grain storage barn. The cosy sitting room has a wood burner and lovely views over surrounding countryside. There will be a basket of logs for you on arrival; extra logs are available from nearby Wainhouse Corner. There is a TV with Netflix etc and DVD. Free Wifi is accessible in the cottage. There is plenty of outdoor space including a patio at the front of the cottage and a decking area too; so you can play, chill, BBQ and star gaze in the evenings! There is a shed for you to store surfboards etc in as well.
Minimum stay two nights, however, May Whitsun holiday is weekly bookings only, as are July and August. Changeover day is Saturday during these periods.
Check in time is 3pm and check out is 10am on day of departure please – this ensures we have time to thoroughly clean the cottage to our high standards. Cleave Cottage is set among eight dwellings on the farm – we live in Middle Cottage next door. We are secluded and tucked away in a wonderful location, yet not too far from many exciting places that Cornwall has to explore. Many people return again and again to holiday at Cleave Farm – this is proof of the charm that this place offers!
Three minutes’ walk across the garden and around the hedge in the cliff field will take you to the coastal footpath and the remarkable rugged Cornish cliffs. The cottage is next to woodland, which belongs to Cleave Farm. Springtime is wonderful, as the wildflowers take over and carpet the lane verges and ground between ancient twisty oaks and wise old trees of the woodland. A five-minute walk takes you to the end of the field and to the cliff edge for breath taking sunsets or walk out to Castle Point along the coast path.
Please be respectful of other people who live or are on holiday at Cleave Farm by being mindful of noise levels – Cleave Farm is more of a tranquil and relaxing space than a place to be loud and rowdy – we appreciate your understanding and being mindful of this.
Katy and family look forward to welcoming you and are here to offer you local advice and any support should you need it, but will respect your privacy.
