Carclaze Farm is set within four acres of grounds incorporating
an outdoor children's adventure play area, indoor games room and a farmhouse
paddock where guests are invited each day to collect eggs and participate
in the morning feed of the chickens, ducks, geese, goats and sheep.
In 1985, Allen and Jean purchased the property and spent
a number of years faithfully renovating and restoring the outbuildings
- including a grain store and dairy - into four unique self-catering cottages.
Allen and Jean live in the adjacent farmhouse and continue to personally
run, maintain and manage Carclaze Farm today.
Carclaze Farm dates from around the 15th century when it
formed part of the Duchy of Cornwall. In 1954, during its time as a working
Duchy farm, the property was visited by Princess Margaret and the Queen
Mother (when a new toilet was installed especially for the occasion!).
Carclaze Farm is surrounded by farmland, just outside the
beautiful Cornish village of Chapel Amble. The spectacular North Cornwall
coastline - with its sandy beaches, fishing villages and dramatic cliffs
- is only a ten minute drive away, whilst Bodmin Moor, some of Cornwall's
finest National Trust houses, the Eden Project and numerous renowned eateries
- such as Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant and Jamie Oliver's Fifteen -
are also close by.
