The Stable, Boskensoe Barns

The Stable is a two-bedroom barn conversion at Boskensoe Barns near Mawnan Smith, a village 3 miles southwest of Falmouth between Falmouth Bay and the Helford River. It sleeps 4 across 2 bedrooms, with 2 bathrooms, and runs partly on solar power.

Both bedrooms have en-suites. Inside, the barn has a wood burner, open fire, and a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. There is a BBQ in the enclosed garden, and an outdoor seating area with views across the surrounding countryside. Everything is on the ground floor. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking. Wi-Fi and parking are included, and the barns have two electric car charging points. Two pets are welcome.

A shop and pub are a 10-minute walk away, and a sandy beach is a 10-minute drive. Maenporth Beach is a sheltered sandy bay with a cafe, well suited to families and those with dogs. Helford Passage, where a hand-pulled ferry crosses to Helford village on the south bank, is around 1.7 miles. Trebah and Glendurgan, two significant Cornish gardens within the parish, are both within a short drive. Falmouth, with its National Maritime Museum and Pendennis Castle, is roughly 3 miles by road. The coast path between Maenporth and Helford Passage passes close to the property.

Best for dog-friendly couples or small families wanting gardens and open fires near the Helford River and Falmouth. Less suited to groups needing more than 4 beds, or anyone seeking beach-facing accommodation.
