Kate’s Cottage

Welcome to Kate’s Cottage — a beautifully converted two-bedroom barn tucked away on the family-run smallholding of Pennywort Mill in South East Cornwall. With a double and a twin bedroom, this charming cottage sleeps up to four guests and warmly welcomes two well-behaved dogs, making it perfect for families, couples or those looking for a dog-friendly countryside break.

On the inside you’ll find character and comfort in equal measure: a cosy lounge with exposed beams and a wood burner set in a stone fireplace invites you to unwind over a Smart-TV or a good book. The adjoining dining room gives onto a modern, stylishly-equipped kitchen (with electric hob/oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and utility space) — ideal whether you’re preparing a simple dinner or a feast.

Step outside and the delights continue: there’s a private patio area with seating and BBQ for al-fresco meals, plus access to an enclosed garden shared with the neighbouring cottage.

Children will love the on-site play area featuring swings, slide and climbing frame, all overlooking fields and the friendly animals of the smallholding. Meanwhile, dog-owners will appreciate the large fields on site for walking both on- and off-lead.

As part of the smallholding experience, you’re invited to participate in feeding the goats, donkeys, alpacas, ducks and chickens — and to collect fresh farm eggs during your stay. With its location just minutes from local amenities and within easy reach of both north and south Cornwall coasts, Kate’s Cottage offers that perfect blend of rural tranquility and easy holiday access.

Whether you’re seeking lazy patio mornings, cosy evenings by the fire, or playful afternoons with the animals, Kate’s Cottage provides a warm, memorable escape into Cornish countryside life.
