The Cottage, Carbis Bay

About The Cottage

The Cottage is a reverse-level barn conversion set within the grounds of a traditional Cornish farm on the outskirts of Carbis Bay. Original stone walls and exposed timber beams give this barn real character. The rural setting puts you right in the heart of working farmland whilst being close to Cornwall's stunning coastline.

The barn sits in peaceful countryside. You're surrounded by fields and farmland. The coast is just minutes away. This is proper Cornish countryside with sea views within reach.
