Stunning Award Winning Cottage with Hot Tub & Sauna 10 mins from the Beach
Welcome to Steppes Farm Holiday Cottages near Tintagel in Cornwall. If you're looking for a luxurious treat then Mother Goose Cottage is where you need to be :o))) Granted a 5* Gold Award by Visit England, Mother Goose Cottage has the most beautiful views - on a clear day from the master bedroom you will be able to see the sea shimmering on the horizon.
Set in an almost secret valley on the edge of Bodmin Moor – but only 10 minutes from civilisation. Mother Goose Cottage is a fabulous light and airy barn conversion only 7m from the beach. There is the added bonus of a hot tub and sauna :o)) Ideal to unwind and let those cares drift away. Our water is from our own spring and it's delicious.
Steppes Farm has a magical caring atmosphere that you notice the moment you arrive. It is a pleasure living here and we are delighted to share our home with you guys, who I hope will enjoy it as much as we do ! We love having visitors to stay in the beautiful Cornish countryside of this fabulous part of Britain.
At night the only noises are the hoot of owls and the snuffling of nocturnal wildlife. On clear nights (no light pollution here), the skies are inky black and dotted with a million stars, the most incredible that I have seen anywhere in the world - best viewed from the hot tub – the perfect end to a perfect day x
Bodmin Moor is now a designated International Dark Sky Landscape. The very first classified Dark Sky Park in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
For all fans of Rosamunde Pilcher’s works, our area of Cornwall is a must and brings her stories to life. Her stories are inspired by our diverse landscape, from stately homes such as Prideaux Place, Padstow to its wild coastline. Key locations include St. Ives, Bedruthan Steps, Godrevy Lighthouse, Land’s End and the stunning Lanhydrock Estate.
Pencarrow House & Gardens is another must and was used for the film English Wine and can be seen in films – The Red Dress and The Weekend. You will be left with unforgettable memories of the magic of Rosamunde Pilcher’s Cornwall.
Luxurious, light and airy Mother Goose Cottage is where contemporary meets traditional. A hay-barn converted to the highest standard to maximise its charm and comfort - the stunning downstairs bathroom has a fabulous chromotherapy walk-in rainfall shower - admire the wonderful Ash staircase with glass risers, a credit to the local craftsmen who created it. You will fall in love with the large lounge which has a romantic coal burning stove and wonderfully cosy armchairs.
There are two good sized vaulted bedrooms: 1 double and 1 twin. The kitchen/diner has sliding doors leading to a patio which is set in a large enclosed garden - all the equipment you would expect in a kitchen of this quality - cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.
We are happy to provide the usual comfy towels, linens and a starter pack of household essentials. Our aim is simple - to provide you with immaculate farm cottage accommodation so that you have a wonderful time you will always remember.

Goose Cottage was a real gem - beautiful house and location
Really lovely hosts, helpful without being intrusive. A beautiful house and garden in a good location. We use self catering properties a lot due to the fact that one of our children has serious food allergies so eating out can be tricky. I have to say this was the best equipped place we have used and was, without doubt, the cleaniest - absolutely spotless! Would definately recommend.

Nice comfortable house with stunning views of the surrounding country side.lovely to have the farmyard animals visit every morning ! The house is well equipped , but not cluttered.we only have one small niggle, the lighting configuration in the lounge was not great if you wanted to read but that was just a minor thing .Overall it was lovely and we enjoyed our stay .

You changed your dates to stay in Mother Goose Cottage several times, to which we agreed. You were supposed to arrive on the 20/4/24 for 7 nights, you arrived on the 13/4/24 at 11pm at night – we were in bed ! You were extremely agitated as you had your mother with you who suffers with dementia. We did all we could for you and explained that Mother Goose Cottage was in the process of having a new bathroom fitted, but due to a cancellation we could let you have Barn Owl Cottage instead. We rushed around to get the cottage ready and to find you bedding, towels etc., we eventually returned to bed at 12.30 am.. You admitted that you had not read your booking form correctly. We also explained that a new sauna heater was being fitted on the 19/4/24, which was the day of your departure. Had, of course you arrived on the correct day the new sauna heater would have been fitted. How you can complain now about not receiving a refund and not mention any of the above is unbelievable.
Reviews should be fair and accurate.
We hebben een heerlijke week doorgebracht in Cornwall.
Goose cottage op Steppes Farm was van alle gemakken voorzien, schoon en prachtig gelegen op Steppes Farm in de buurt van Camelford.
Onze gastheer was gastvrij en vriendelijk.
We hebben ook gebruik gemaakt van de hot tub, een heerlijke ontspanning na een dag wandelen.

We had a wonderful time here in this gorgeous cottage. Absolutely beautiful with only the sounds of geese and ducks taking a stroll past the kitchen window. At night, with the absence of usual street lights, on a clear night the sky was littered with twinkling stars - perfect !

Super friendly owners, amazing house and stunning location
When you are driving towards the house, you realize what an amazing location it is, Karen and Adrian the owners have made an incredible job to make you feel like home. The house we stayed the goose was lovely, super clean and the views were simply stunning. All houses are in a farm surrounded by beautiful landscapes and animals perfect situation to disconnect during your stay, other commodities such as the sauna and hot tub will make your stay even more pleasant. There is a lot of things to do nearby and the owners make a great job to let you know about it, but you will struggle to leave the house because of how comfortable you will feel in it. If you are looking for spend some time in Cornwall i will definitely recommend this place, you will not regret it!

Tranquil Spot, lovely part of the world
We stayed for a short break in late October and had a lovely relaxing stay in Mother Goose cottage. Great facilities, very helpful staff in Adrian/ Karen, brilliant area. Lovely views from the kitchen windows.. Our daughter loved the geese, chickens and ducks waddling around the property, and had a great horse riding lesson in the arena, we also loved the hottub, looking at the stars in the clear night sky, padstow, port isaac, newquay, eden project, tintagel were the great places we visited during our break.

Großartig!!!
Wir haben unseren Urlaub (knapp 2 Wochen) auf der Steppes Farm verbracht.
Die Farm ist ein Traum!!! Auf einem riesigen Grundstück befinden sich neben dem Farmhaus, in dem die Besitzer, Karen und Adrian wohnen, die 3 angebotenen Ferienunterkünfte.Wir haben unseren Urlaub im "Goose Cottage" verbracht. Die Unterkunft ist mit 2 Schlafzimmern großzügig, sehr sauber, toll eingerichtet und super ruhig gelegen.
Es gibt Gänse, Enten, Hühner, 2 Hunde, einen Kater und 2 Pferde. Und alle wuseln in einem friedlichen miteinander irgendwie überall auf dem riesigen Grundstück herum. Einfach toll!!!
Die Vermieter Karen und Adrian sind sehr nett und für jede Frage, Infomation usw. immer offen und hilfsbereit.
Herzlichen Dank für die Tipps und Wetterinformationen besonders an Adrian. :-) :-) :-)
Wir würden uns freuen, wenn wir unserem nächsten Englandaufenthalt wieder im "Goose Cottage" verbringen könnten.

About the host
Hosted by Karen Briggs
My family & I moved here in 2007 to pursue our dream and we know that you will be as pleased with your stay here as we have always been :o))
Our cosy old farm nestles in the hillside, complete with its own natural spring water supply. We have a fantastic location between the stunning rugged coastline of North Cornwall and Bodmin Moor - an area of outstanding natural beauty.
Steppes Farm, in parts, dates back to medieval times. The main farmhouse was a lot smaller then, with a barn and a dairy behind it. These were merged with the farmhouse around the 1970s.
Why they chose this property
Steppes Farm has all the atmosphere and tradition you could ever hope for. With the added plus of hot tub and sauna :o))))
We are set in 20 acres and surrounded by an area of outstanding natural beauty. The farmhouse and our 3 luxuriously furnished barn conversions nestle into the countryside, right on the edge of wild and romantic Bodmin Moor - just five miles from the breathtaking Cornish coast. You will find our lovely accommodation in North Cornwall near the towns of Tintagel, Camelford and Boscastle. Port Isaac, Polzeath, Rock and all the best beaches are within easy reach.
Poldark, King Arthur, Daphne du Maurier, Agatha Christie, Rosamunde Pilcher - all inspired by the beautiful coastline and countryside on our doorstep. Let’s not forget Fisherman's Friends & Doc Martin, both filmed at Port Isaac.

What makes this property unique
