Lovely cottage

The property was very nice and quiet for our stay and suited us perfectly as a base for our Cornwall visit. Would recommend thoroughly. The children loved the animals roaming around (especially the sheep). The fresh eggs were an especially lovely touch.

Cosy and peaceful

We stayed at Higher Lidgey Farm and found it comfy and cosy. My Mum who uses a wheelchair or can walk short distances found it really convenient being able to be dropped right outside the door. We loved having the animals as neighbours, our puppies loved watching the sheep and the chickens kept coming for a visit. Kathryn was on hand should we need anything and was only ever a call or text away. The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. Close to some lovely places but I would recommend visiting with a vehicle because it is tucked a little out of the way but with a car it only takes 10-15mins and you're in Falmouth which is a lovely place to visit. We'd definitely stay again. Thanks for having us Kathryn and family.

Lovely relaxing stay

We very much enjoyed our week in the cottage. It was quiet and tranquil. The cottage was cosy and well equipped. There was plenty to do in the local area and Kathryn ensured we felt welcome and provided all the necessary information. Looking forward to visiting again!

About the host

Hosted by Kathryn Miller

We moved to Cornwall from London in 2008 with a young family of 3 children and fell in love with Higher Lidgey and its environs.
We're a busy household with our three children now away most of the time, studying and pursuing their career ambitions in London, Bristol and Brighton.
Originally from London, we find ourselves doing quite a lot of travelling due to the demands of our work. Kathryn heads up a team of People Development specialists at the University of Bristol.
John is managing director and joint owner of MARK product, a furniture and interior design business, with the manufacturing base in Cornwall and a London showroom.
When we are at home, we love to spend time on the coast, walking, surfing and swimming. The garden and field space around Higher Lidgey is a wonderful place to spend time in.

Why they chose this property

The contemporary designed barn is kept to a high standard and offers a very comfortable stay. It is ideally located between both the North and South coasts. Depending on what you're wanting and the weather, you can easily get to the sea within a 15 min car drive away.
There are plenty of local walks to do from the barn and the village of Ponsanooth (1.5 miles away) has a good pub and well stocked shop for some Cornish goodies.
Dogs are welcome (up to a maximum of 2) and they will enjoy the environs.

What makes this property unique

The location is a brilliant opportunity to visit many different areas of Cornwall.
You are very close by to many excellent restaurants located in Falmouth, Mylor, Porthleven and many other places.
You can can bring up to 2 (well behaved) dogs to the cottage.
You have the opportunity to also rent out an adjacent barn that sleeps 2 people so that you can easily extend your group gathering to 6 people (plus a baby).
We are a friendly, warm family and would love to welcome you!
