Old Orchard Barn

Old Orchard Barn is a single-storey barn conversion on a working farm near St Mellion, in the east of Cornwall close to the Tamar Valley. It sleeps 8 across 4 bedrooms - one with an en-suite - spread over 2 bathrooms total. Underfloor heating runs throughout the property, which keeps it comfortable across all seasons without relying on an open fire. A private hot tub sits in the garden alongside a gas BBQ, and the outdoor space makes group gatherings straightforward from arrival.

The property has 33 reviews, suggesting consistent quality across multiple stays. Wi-Fi, parking, dishwasher, and washing machine are all included. No dogs are permitted.

Whitsand Bay is 13.8km to the south - a long stretch of sand along the south Cornwall coast with dramatic cliff access and strong surf conditions at times. Downderry Beach and Kingsand Beach are also within 15km, giving the group three coastal options without a long drive.

St Mellion itself is known for its golf course and is a short drive from Saltash and Plymouth. The Tamar Valley is accessible for walking and cycling. This is a quieter inland base compared with coastal villages.

Best for groups of 6 to 8 wanting a spacious barn with reliable facilities and hot tub access in east Cornwall. Not great for guests wanting a coastal position or a property that allows dogs. Friday changeover.
