High Beams in Port Isaac, Cornwall

High Beams Self-Catering

This former cowshed has been transformed into an idyllic coastal retreat. The only visible signs of its previous life are the beautiful original beams visible in the open-plan living room and kitchen. This space is the heart of the home and is suitably stunning – illuminated by floor-to-ceiling windows along one side and warmed by a roaring wood-burning stove. Kids and adults alike will love the summer house with its distant sea views and trips to the stunning, family-friendly Polzeath Beach – a ten-minute drive away. Alternatively, Trevathan Farm is just a half-mile stroll from your front door – perfect for late summer strawberry picking and Cornish cream teas. At the end of the day, with the little ones tucked up in bed, open a bottle for a relaxing drink on the patio, or sink into the sofa for a movie night with the fire crackling away in the background. All in all, it's a fantastic and fun-filled family holiday space that you won't want to leave.
