About this property

Barn Conversion, Stithians, Cornwall

The Dairy is a charming grade 2 listed barn conversion adjoining the farmhouse and was recently converted (by the current owners) from two barns, which were previously a milking parlour and piggery. It has a bright lounge/diner with a vaulted ceiling, cosy wood burner and French doors opening out onto the courtyard and garden; two double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a modern fully equipped kitchen. It is contemporary in style and has been decorated with local artwork. The Dairy has its own drive with parking for two cars and we welcome well behaved dogs.
Set in a tranquil location, The Dairy overlooks the courtyard and garden with patio table and chairs and a barbecue. The garden is terraced over three lawned levels and great for garden games. It has a tree swing and a sunken trampoline. The Dairy was once part of the Tretheague Estate with it’s Grade II* listed Georgian Manor house built in 1744 by architect Thomas Edwards. All the old farm buildings are now restored and complete this lovely little hamlet: Tretheague Barton, The Farmhouse, The Cottage, The Dairy, The Piggery, The Granary and The Smithy. The Dairy lies on the edge of Stithians village and is perfectly situated for exploring both the North and South coasts of Cornwall. Truro, Helford Passage, Helston, Redruth and Camborne Mining Heritage, Newquay, St Ives, Padstow, the Lizard, Lands End, Penzance, Mousehole are all within touching distance.

Delightful Cottage in a beautiful location
Simply the loveliest place we’ve stayed! Perfect for two couples travelling together. Thank you Jane for the very welcoming cream tea and beautiful flowers on the table - such a warm and friendly sight to greet us! We had a wonderful stay touring around Cornwall and hope to be back one day.

Wonderful stay at 'The Dairy'
We were delighted with our stay at The Dairy. On arrival, the welcome basket and other extras were such a wonderful surprise! The quiet cottage is more of a house, with large rooms and also, would be great for a long-term stay. Would be a great spot for 2 couples traveling together as the two bedrooms are separated by the living area and each have full baths. My husband and I stayed for 5 nights and found all the furniture to be very comfortable. The large TV was a bonus as well. Spotlessly clean and very well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed for making all our meals and I appreciated having a few empty cupboards to put all my groceries away out of sight. We enjoyed the top garden for our late afternoon cocktails. We stayed at 10 places in our 6 weeks of travel and The Dairy is our favourite!

Home away from home!
We enjoyed a delightful 2-week stay in the Dairy. It was very nicely furnished and equipped - everything you might need was provided. Hosts Jane and Gwyn were wonderful: a generous and lovely welcome package of goodies, lots of great suggestions of places to visit and local eateries. And Narla the dog always had a happy tail to say hello. It was difficult to leave at the end of our stay. We’ll have great memories when back in Canada.

No pictures of front of property
Property was very nice,although we has a smell of damp in the cupboards. The outside photo's did not show the sleeper steps to get to each level of garden, the first was about 8 sleepers on edge then a 3 steps and again another 3 steps. Big field to walk dog was not low grass,when l threw the ball for our lab it dissapeared into the grass never to be seen again,l suggest getting the local sheep or goats to eat it back. The front had parking for one car there.

Jane And Gwyn would love to welcome you to the Dairy. We have been living in Cornwall since 2002 and absolutely love the life we have. We have two children Bethany and Benjamin 19 and 17 respectively. We moved to Stithians in 2007 and converted the barn initially as ancillary accommodation for relatives and now have recently updated it for holiday letting. We are happy to help in anyway we can to make your holiday as pleasant and enjoyable as possible.

Why they chose this property

The Dairy sits in a nice little hamlet of five or six renovated barns but still close to the village . Stithians is a great location as it is equidistant from the bustling harbour town of Falmouth with its quaint cobbled streets and plethora of bars and restaurants and the city of Truro with its cathedral, shops, and further choice of restaurants. Also being in the middle of the county its great for the choice of north or south coasts , just get up, look at the sky and choose the best coast for the weather
