  A stunning group of properties in an idyllic location. Complimentary home cured bacon, sausages and free range eggs for your first breakfast. An 80 foot outdoor covered deck area for late night group al fresco dining, a fully equipped commercial kitchen and a lake in the grounds stocked with wild Brown Trout – tempted? If you are and have that big special family celebration coming up or are considering spending the summer holidays with another couple of families and are searching for a party property then Rowan Barn is the ideal choice for you. Located within a peaceful and tranquil valley yet only four miles to one of the best beaches in West Cornwall, this beautifully appointed estate is tailor made for large groups who want to celebrate that special birthday or who just want to spend some quality time together chilling out on holiday with the children. Rowan Barn dates back to around 1740 when it formed part of the Godolphin Estate which was owned by the fourth Duke of Leeds. Nestling in five acres of grounds, it is surrounded by mature trees, lovingly tendered lawns, an orchard, a trout lake and a Cornish meadow. The estate is teeming with wildlife such as badgers, foxes, rabbits, birds of prey and not to mention the herd of Saddleback pigs (where the bacon and sausages come from!) although they will sadly be on holiday at the time of your visit! The current owners have spent several years renovating Rowan Barn which is now a highly acclaimed and successful B&B and self catering operation. For the past three years, The Barn has consistently been awarded four stars and a Gold Award by UK tourism Associations’ for its outstanding accommodation and facilities (including a specially adapted bedroom and en-suite for disable guests). The owners have now decided to holiday let the entire operation to large groups over the main summer weeks of the ensuing season. The estate consists of three self contained properties. A large barn that accommodates eight guests, an enchanting former dairy that sleeps two guests (ideal for Grandma and Granddad!) and the centre piece which is a former tractor barn that has been converted into an extensive open plan living space which comes complete with a commercial kitchen that could cater for a coach party! One of the many benefits of Rowan barn – and there are many - is the delightful covered deck area which leads off from the communal living space. Decorated with flowering tubs, little baby Olive trees and pots full of delicious herbs; the deck is furnished with long trestle tables and benches, outside lighting and a large BBQ. This is the perfect area for that daily get together when the family have come back from a day out on the beach and can then dine and party under the stars! An additional two en suite bedrooms are attached to the end of the barn, one of which has been classed as M2 level for disabled guests. Rowan Barn is situated equidistant from Helston and Penzance (approx seven miles) and is a short drive to the three miles of golden sands at Hayle.

  The area is dotted with little villages, great pubs, attractions and numerous good restaurants serving some of the finest fresh fish and seafood in the world. Rowan Barn is a fabulous estate for a group holiday and it will certainly not disappoint however, you will need to book early!
