Several
Farm Stay properties are located close to the border with Devon. Book a S
elf Catering holiday on a farm or a few nights
B&B in one of our rural locations and enjoy touring both counties.

If in the south of the county, the
Rame Peninsular offers a stunning coastline with breathtaking views out to
sea and
beaches with golden sands. Enjoy a visit to the
fishing town of Looe and take in the history of Polperro.
From this area, catch the car ferry for a short five minute trip and you will be in
Plymouth where you will have plenty to see and do. Plenty of shopping can be done in Drakes Circus, an undercover shopping centre built just a few years ago.
If modern day shopping is not part of your holiday list, the
Barbican and
Hoe are a must. As well as the small quaint shops and many restaurants and coffee houses, the Barbican is the home of the world famous
Plymouth Gin. It also boasts the
National Marine Aquarium where marine life from throughout the world can be viewed.
Stroll up to the Hoe and enjoy spectacular views of
Plymouth Sound, a simply stunning natural harbour. Visit Smeatons Tower and the green where Sir Francis Drake played his last game of bowls before heading off to defeat the Spanish Armada in 1588. The recently opened
Royal William Yard is also well worth a visit. See the splendour of old navy buildings that have been converted into shops and restaurants. If you wish to travel a little further, the South Hams are easily accessible from Plymouth.

Further inland the moors of
Dartmoor and
Bodmin moor are easily accessible from many of our Farm Stay properties. If you enjoy walking combined with some stunning scenery and vast amounts of open space, your days will easily be filled touring around this area.
Enjoy the stunning
Tamar Valley with its pretty little nooks and crannies! An ideal area to bring a dog and stay in a
pet friendly Farm Stay property. Staying in this area, you will never be more than 20 miles from either
coast - study the weather forecast before you plan your day and you may be lucky and avoid the showers! The area also has excellent gardens in both counties, pretty

little towns like
Tavistock and
Launceston and a holiday can soon be filled with a list of
National Trust properties and
historic houses that will not disappoint.
In the north of the county, plenty of
cottages and B&B accommodation is available for you to choose from. Stay at a Farm Stay property in North Cornwall and as well as taking in the rugged coastline and golden beaches of the North Cornish Coast, visitors can enjoy a trip to Tintagel to discover the myths of King Arthur.
Boscastle is also well worth a stop - see how the village has been re-built since the devastating floods in 2004. Visit Port Isaac and you'll be in Doc Martin country - take in some of the fabulous scenery as seen on TV. Padstow is also sure to be on the list of places to go. Enjoy fish and chips from Rick Steins with views out to sea as a bonus!
Hopping across the border in the far north of the county and a short drive will bring guests to
RHS Rosemoor - well worth a visit at any time of year. The quaint little fishing village of
Clovelly may also be enjoyed.
So a Farm Stay holiday at the top end of the county will provide a fantastic location to explore not just one county, but two!
