About this property
Coverack 1 mile. Enjoying sea glimpses over the Cornish coastline in Coverack is The Barn at Trevothen Farm, a delightful, two-bedroom barn conversion. Within walking distance to the beach and a selection of amenities, The Barn at Trevothen Farm offers a characterful and tranquil base with a wonderful attention to detail for a family of four, looking to explore the delights of The Lizard Heritage Coast. Be welcomed by off-road parking for two cars, before making your way into your new dwelling. Step indoors to reach the open-plan living space, oozing charm with exposed beams and stonework running throughout, where you can prepare meals in the well-equipped kitchen, gather around the antique dining table, and plan your itinerary. Carry the conversation outdoors to the patio, housing a barbecue to take advantage of on sunny days, or light the woodburning stove and cosy up in the sitting room, with a good book or board game. As the sun sets, select between a king-size and twin bedroom, both offering plenty of storage to make yourself at home, before awakening to a refreshing shower. Don your walking boots to head down to Porthbeer Cove for wonderful clifftop vistas, before reaching Coverack to stock up on the essentials and grab a bite to eat. Follow the S W Coast Path south where you'll reach the National Trust properties of the Old Serpentine Works and Lizard Rangers, ahead of trekking to Lizard Point, the best vantage point across the region. Aiming for Falmouth, firstly stop off at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary for a family day out, before touring the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, Falmouth Art Gallery, and bustling Falmouth Harbour, peppered with amenities. Take to the Cornish coastline at The Barn at Trevothen Farm.
Coverack is a small fishing village on the Lizard Peninsula, a few miles from Lizard Point in Cornwall, the most southerly point on mainland Britain. Coverack is a beautiful and peaceful place to escape the main tourist routes and offers a beach in the sheltered bay, which is ideal for swimming, windsurfing, and kayaking, as well as shops, pub, and restaurants. Further amenities lie in St Keverne, which has a post office, shops and 2 traditional pubs. The Lizard Peninsula has many spectacular coves and beaches and is noted for its rare geology and plants. From Lizard Point there are wonderful sea views from the windswept cliffs, which provide fabulous walking opportunities along this stretch of the South West Coast Path. Inland is the market town of Helston, known for its Flora Day Festival, and in Gweek is The Cornish Seal Sanctuary, whilst approximately ten miles away is the Culdrose Airfield, where once a year the public are welcome to come and meet the Fleet Air Arm, the Royal Navy’s flying force. Coverack is ideally located for exploring The Lizard Peninsula, as well as the lovely seaside towns of St Ives and Falmouth and many other beaches and pretty villages.

Sharon & Dave were excellent thoughtful hosts who couldn't do enough for us. Nice welcome touches of home baked cake, eggs and milk on arrival. Well located for exploring the local area.

Stunning and the decor was right up our street. It was all done to a high spec. It was myself, husband and three-year-old son stayed here for a week. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners Sharon & Dave. We had requested a stair gate to be fitted to keep our little munchkin safe during night wandering! Dave fitted it for us the night we arrived which was much appreciated. We had some little welcome goodies of milk, eggs and homemade lemon cake, which was greatly received by all of us. It was a home from home space and our little one certainly made himself at home . Everything you need in the kitchen if not more than you need. It was excellent. The washing machine and dishwasher was a godsend also. The barn was super comfortable, the bathroom was beautiful and beds were fantastic as I always dread going away and worrying about the mattress being uncomfortable. We have had some horrific ones in our time . But no problems here. Lovely little courtyard garden which was needed with a little one who wanted to be outside all the time. I was able to lock the gate and no he was safe. It is situated in a very quiet area, it is a single track road to and from cottage, supermarkets were about 20 minutes drive away. But Coverack itself was a lovely little village and was a short distance down a very steep hill, We only visited it once whilst we were waiting for our cottage to be ready, we had a walk on the beach. But it has a little shop which we found was quite expensive,Fish and chip shop and pub. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay we use the barn as our base but visited many of the well known attractions such as Lands end, penzance, Marazion, Saint Ives, Newquay, Healys cyder farm, Porthleven (fantastic fish & chip shop) Kynance cove we highly recommend, what a beautiful spot. Thank you so much to Sharon and Dave we hope to be back one day.

Our hosts made us very welcome even leaving a delicious lemon drizzle cake, local milk and half a dozen eggs. The Barn was very well presented and you could see alot of thought had gone into the renovation making it a wonderfully unique holiday property. We would recommend to anyone. The property is well situated to visit explore the lizard peninsula and beyond. Thankyou
