East Penrest Barn.
Holidays on an Organic Farm
Listen to larks and watch buzzards wheeling in the sky over an idyllic working farm while you ramble over the fields and let your children loose to get happily muddy playing in streams or building camps in ancient oak woodland. Then return to the comfort of a sensitively converted barn which, whilst being superbly equipped, maintains all the atmosphere of an ancient stone farm building.
Most of our visitors do not seem to want to stir off the farm - and they are welcome to "lend a hand" and learn about lambing, haymaking, hedge-laying or whatever the seasonal work happens to be. This is a paradise for anyone who loves wild flowers and birds or who simply wants to wander round the farm and soak up the peace.
There are good riding schools nearby,
and sailing and windsurfing on a reservoir
20 minutes away. Paintballing, canoeing
and rock-climbing are all available in the area. Let
us know and we can usually arrange it for you.

East Penrest is away from the crowds but is nevertheless well positioned for many tourist attractions. Within an hour's radius are National Trust houses, beautiful gardens (such as the Lost Gardens of Heligan), walks on Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor, and wonderful beaches on both the north and south coasts. The new Tate Gallery at St Ives might take a little longer, but it is only a 15 minute drive to the golf course at St Mellion.
