Kestrel Corner

Kestrel Corner is a single-storey converted barn at Higher Trevelmick, one of four units on a working holding near Lanivet. It sleeps four across two bedrooms and holds a perfect five-star rating from 30 reviews - an unusually consistent record for a countryside property at this price point.

The two bedrooms are a four-poster double and a twin, served by one bathroom with bath and shower over. Everything is on one level, making it a practical choice for guests with limited mobility. An open-plan kitchen, dining area, and sitting room has an electric coal-effect fire. The cottage draws water from a double-filtered borehole serviced annually. A shared external laundry block has a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Off-road parking sits outside the door and a shared lawned garden has furniture. The nearest coastline is Carlyon Bay at 6.6 miles and Charlestown Beach at 7.1 miles. For walkers, the Saints Way long-distance route passes close by - 30 miles from Padstow to Fowey.

Lanhydrock, the National Trust estate, is 3 miles east. The Eden Project is around 5 miles southeast. Padstow is 12 miles north, Fowey roughly 10 miles south - a good central position for covering mid-Cornwall without driving long distances each day.

Best for couples or families wanting a quiet rural base for day trips across mid-Cornwall, or walkers targeting the Saints Way. Less suited to guests whose priority is beach proximity.
