Ashley
The Old Dairy is a beautiful self-contained little cottage with private entrance, secluded patio & sunny garden; part of the Grade II listed Churchtown Farm, a now non-working farm, dating from 1690. Located in the lovely village of St Ewe, with its 16th century pub, offering great food, approx. 1 mile from the Lost Gardens of Heligan and 3 miles from the traditional fishing village of Mevagissey. Numerous wonderful beaches, The Eden Project, Caerhays and The Hidden Hut are also all nearby.
A proud Cornishman. After 30 years working and traveling around the world, in 2018 the draw of returning to Cornwall was too much to resist. We were lucky to find a very special property, Churchtown Farm, which enables us to welcome guests to a place we love. The Old Dairy is entirely private however the owners are available during your stay if needed
