Hayloft at Trevissick Farm

Hayloft at Trevissick Farm is a detached barn conversion on a working farm near Porthtowan, sleeping two in one bedroom. The building sits with farmland on three sides - this is a quiet, rural spot with no road noise.

The layout runs in reverse: a ground-floor super-king bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and a first-floor open-plan kitchen and sitting room with a private balcony looking out across fields toward Carn Brea. Both an open fire and a wood burner are available, making the hayloft a practical choice in shoulder season. Dog-friendly with a private garden, BBQ, parking, and dishwasher. Priced from £659 per week.

Porthtowan beach is a 20-minute walk, with The Blue Bar - a surf-focused pub right on the sand - at the bottom of the track. Trevaunance Cove, the small harbour beach at St Agnes, is 2.7 miles. Portreath, a wider beach with a car park and cafe, is 3.5 miles. The South West Coast Path is accessible from St Agnes, running south along the cliff edge above Trevaunance.

Best for couples who want rural quiet with decent beach access on the north Cornwall coast. Less good for anyone expecting village amenities on the doorstep - the nearest shop is in Porthtowan village.
