Coombeshead Farm

There’s a fine selection of books to be found in the Farmhouse reading room. Grab one from the shelves. Animal Farm, perhaps. Or 20th-century classic Rebecca from local-girl-done-good Daphne du Maurier. Then while away a peaceful hour or two curled up in a comfy chair with only Mrs de Winter and a homemade lemon verbena vodka from the honesty bar for company.

Free use of this agriturismo's Hunter wellies and Seasalt coats means that – if you came ill-prepared for the notoriously unpredictable Cornish weather – you can still head out for a woodland yomp and remain watertight on damp days.
