About this property
Amongst the wonderful landscape of the South Cornish coast this spacious barn conversion is set near a small, quiet farm, surrounded by fields and woodlands and near to the historical harbour town of Fowey. Perfect for those seeking a peaceful haven, the property has a reverse layout with two lovely, bright bedrooms, one having the benefit of an en-suite shower room and the other housing zip and link beds, and a bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs there is a beautifully presented open plan living area and as you step out onto the balcony and take that deep breath, you will feel immediately relaxed and content.
Perfectly located for enjoying some lovely walks, cycle trails and exploring Cornwall’s attractions including The Eden Project. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the town of Fowey boasts a beautiful estuary where the harbour is a magnet for sailing fans. Walk through the narrowing streets of the old town where there is a stream of medieval and Georgian buildings and browse in the quirky gift shops and art galleries. There are many bistros, cafes and restaurants to choose from offering plenty of local produce and plenty of seafood choice including the River Fowey mussels. Pop into the charmingly old fashioned, Fowey Aquarium where you can get up close at the petting pool or take the ferry across the harbour to Polruan where you can visit the spectacular cliff-side Headland Garden and indulge in a cream tea.
The idyllic village of Golant is nearby where you can take a trip up the river or lose a few hours resting at a riverside pub. There are many pretty coves with sandy beaches nearby such as Lantic Bay and Ready Money Cove with the town of St Austell within easy driving distance. A perfect countryside retreat with so much to explore in the area.
Fowey boasts medieval and Georgian buildings around a beautiful estuary. The South Cornwall coast boasts hidden, sheltered sandy coves and stretches of beaches, pretty villages and fabulous scenery. The Eden Project and the town of St Austell are both within easy driving distance.

Comfortable beds - havenât slept so well I months. Having read comments in the guest book I can totally understand why guests keep coming back.

It is no surprise Castledore Barn is fully booked. Friendly Hosts, stunning views and a wonderfully clean and comfortable base in this most scenic of areas make for the perfect holiday.

It was far enough away from towns and roads to be peaceful but close enough and central enough that we managed to reach most of Cornwall. The owners really have thought of everything you may need in the barn and were nearby if anything was needed, willing to offer suggestions as to good places to visit with the kids. We would definitely visit again with kids or just on our own and would highly recommend Castledore Barn to others thinking about staying.
