Tranquility close to Helford river and beaches.

The perfect getaway in a quiet rural setting. Plenty of safe space for children to play or in our case with a young dog. Very comfortable bedrooms and a well provisioned kitchen. We had a great time.

Lovely rural hideaway

Fabulous, cosy, homely and well equipped farm house with open fire, log stove and Aga - perfect for our family Christmas get-together (it fitted up 12 with local day visitors). As long as you want to be remote and don't mind not being right on a beach (though not too far!) this is a wonderful choice.

About the host

Hosted by Jane Bryan

I live with my husband and 4 children in the U.K. I am a GP and my husband has a company which runs adventure challenges for charities. We have a very busy lifestyle both working and lots of kids, but this place is so relaxing and safe for children with loads of things around for them to do ranging from just being wild at the farm, to exploring creeks, or more structured days out such as the Seal Sanctuary at Gweek or visiting St Ives. The Minnack Theatre, or the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth.

Why they chose this property

We were looking to buy a place with sea views but fell in love with the charm and tranquility of The Barn at Higher Boden, it is like going back in time to a piece of English countryside which has mainly disappeared .It is also very close to Gillan creek, only one mile, and only 2 miles from the more well known Helford River.
We felt that you could get the best of all world's here, not only are you close to some spectacular rugged Cornish beaches eg Kynance Cove, Mullion, Church Cove, but you also have the lushness of the South side of Cornwall with some beautiful protected creeks.
The Barn has been sensitively converted to try and maintain the character of the building and is part of a farm no longer working which is mentioned in the Domesday Book.

What makes this property unique

The main benefits at the house itself is the tranquility it is a great safe place to just let children run wild, there is a large garden and a stable block with Table Tennis and laundry.

St Anthony a charming coastal hamlet a mile away provides sailing lessons and canoe hire in which you can explore the creeks.
Helford has a great pub,and you can also catch a ferry across the river to Helford Passage which has an excellent pub and is a short walk to Trebar Gardens.
