    “We absolutely loved our stay at Pig House and couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our break.”

    The house was spotless, beautifully presented, and had everything we needed. The facilities were excellent, making it a real home away from home. Unfortunately, one member of our group was unwell during our stay, so we spent much more time at the house than we had originally planned. However, this wasn’t a problem at all because the house was so comfortable, spacious, and well-equipped that we were more than happy relaxing there.

    The house was spotless, beautifully presented, and had everything we needed. The facilities were excellent, making it a real home away from home. Unfortunately, one member of our group was unwell during our stay, so we spent much more time at the house than we had originally planned. However, this wasn’t a problem at all because the house was so comfortable, spacious, and well-equipped that we were more than happy relaxing there. The setting is absolutely beautiful, and the surrounding area is stunning. Our dogs especially loved the secure outdoor space provided for them, which was such a thoughtful addition and gave us real peace of mind. We honestly couldn’t have loved it more. It was the perfect place to unwind, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend Pig House to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Boskensoe Barns

Head to the sought-after village of Mawnan Smith and along an idyllic country lane to this cluster of five boutique barn conversions (including Pig House ref: 966634, Mill House ref: 965738, The Stable ref: 966635, and The Long House ref: 966636, positioned in a pretty courtyard, and The Granary ref: 1040635 ), all surrounded by mellow countryside setting on a working farm. Guests will love the luxury of this location which combines the simplicity of rural life with easy access to the South Cornish coast path and beaches. The beautiful creeks and woodlands of the Helford are under a ten minute drive. You can hire a motor boat, kayak or dinghy, explore the Helford Passage on water and stop for a sumptuous seafood lunch and a refreshing hand-crafted Cornish ale at the waterfront Ferryboat Inn. For traditional beach days out, the beautiful sandy cove at Maenporth is a short drive away and perfect for swimming, sun-bathing and rock pooling. A string of golden beaches and fabulous Falmouth, with its good pubs, restaurants, art galleries and shops, are located a little further along the coast. Soak up Falmouth’s nautical vibe with a visit to the National Maritime Museum and bustling marina or sail along the beautiful banks of the Fal River to St Mawes on the Roseland and Truro. For garden lovers, the nearby Trebah and Glendurgan Gardens are a must for the holiday itinerary. Return from coastal escapades and relax in the shared garden with a pergola, garden furniture and a barbecue while the children let off steam in the play area complete with a climbing frame. Choose Boskensoe for a rural break to remember.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
