When it comes to holiday locations, it’s all about finding that sweet spot - the perfect balance between peaceful seclusion and easy access to local attractions. Nestled in the serene hamlet of Coombe in Mid Cornwall, the family-friendly retreats of The Barn and The Stable at Brannel Cottage provide just that, offering an idyllic countryside setting within easy reach of the charming coastal towns of Charlestown and Mevagissey.

Imagine starting your day with a hearty family breakfast in the comfort of your well-equipped cottage, then venturing out to explore the picturesque harbour towns. With their historic charm and beautiful settings, both Charlestown and Mevagissey offer a captivating day out, and they're just a short drive away from your doorstep.

Charlestown, renowned for its well-preserved Georgian harbour and beautiful tall ships, has been the backdrop for many film and television productions. Stroll down the historic harbour, visit the Shipwreck Treasure Museum, or enjoy a leisurely lunch in one of the waterfront restaurants. A day in Charlestown feels like stepping back in time, with the added benefits of modern dining and shopping experiences.

Just a little further down the coast, the quaint fishing village of Mevagissey is waiting to steal your heart. Get lost in its labyrinthine streets lined with colourful cottages, watch the local fisherman bring in their catch of the day, and perhaps even venture out on a fishing trip of your own! Don’t forget to sample the local cuisine - Mevagissey’s fresh seafood is a must-try.

But the beauty of a holiday at The Barn or The Stable isn't just about the adventures you’ll find nearby - it's also about the joy of returning to your cosy retreat after a day of exploration. Relive the day’s discoveries over a home-cooked meal, watch the sunset over the surrounding countryside, or snuggle up with a good book in front of the wood burner.
