About this house rental
'The Cider Barn' nestles in 30 acres of landscaped grounds, with Vineyard, Orchards in a stunning setting on the 'Rashleigh' Estate (once home to 'Daphne Du Maurier'). It lies on the Saints Way between the renowned scenic Estuary Town of Fowey and Polkerris Beach, one of the finest, safest beaches on the south coast of Cornwall, both within easy walking distance. You can get a flavour of Polkerris by viewing the youtube videos and indeed other ones of Fowey if you are not familiar with the area.

This ancient Barn recently completed conversion. The renovations have been sympathetic, retaining many original features, yet incorporating the latest modern designs and technology. Internally the property has been be furnished to the highest standard, using predominantly reclaimed timber, fashioned into unique/bespoke pieces.
The ground floor is a spacious open plan design, including a fully equipped modern kitchen, a stunning dining table that comfortably seats 16 and a large lounge surrounding the wood burning stove. Also on the ground floor is a spacious TV room and Utility room at one end and Double Bedroom 8, with en-suite shower room at the other end. The bespoke open tread staircase rises to the first floor bedrooms. There are 6 double beds. with en-suite shower rooms and a further double bedroom with master bathroom opposite incorporating a free standing bath.
Outside there is a south facing landscaped area with a well equipped outdoor kitchen with wood fired Pizza Oven and Games Room as well as an outdoor shower and various seating and lounging areas. The indoor pool is heated all the year round and located adjacent to the barn with an outdoor Hot Tub. There is a wonderful grass area full of specimen trees and scenic valley views and ample car parking.
We think this is the first 'off grid' conversion property of this size. It is completely self-sustainable. We have our own spring water supply (Great Mineral Water straight from the tap) and we heat all our own hot water (including enough for the 16m long Indoor Heated Pool), produce all our electricity and have installed a state of the art wood burning stove (using all our own wood grown in the grounds), just in case Cornwall's renowned warmth and sunshine should let us down.
PL23 1JU post code will bring you to ‘Four Turnings Garage’ a Texaco Garage…..From the roundabout by the garage, take the A3082 to St Austell.
600 yards up the road the first entrance on your left is the private lane to Trenant next to Penhale Caravan & Camping Park.
The lane is about half a mile long, go right to the end of the lane, passing a farmhouse and cottage on your left, there is a sign saying ‘Trenant Cider Barn’ on the gate.
You can unload at the bottom of the driveway, there is ample parking just inside the main gate.

A well laid out property with pool and family sitting area outside. The ground floor bedroom is ideal for persons with limited mobility. Walking to the beach or the town of Fowey. Polkeris beach has good food and drink available almost on the sand.

Excellent stay, well-kitted out barn conversion, Graham and Heather very helpful and the pool was a HUGE hit with all the kids. Thanks!

The property is beautiful and Graham, the host was so knowledgable about the area. We enjoyed evrry moment. There was plenty of space for everyone and plenty to do. There was no phone reception at the property so if you require that then you may need a back up plan. The wifi worked most of the time so that was useful. Access is a bit precarious being down a single track road with lots of overgrown bushes etc but we just beeped out horns to alert others to our presence and all was fine. All in all, one of the most enjoyable family holidays that we have had in a long time. We would definitely recommend to others.

Great size and proportioned house with excellent outside space, dog friendly. Well stocked. Great help from Graham when needed. Kids enjoyed the pool. Good location for seaside and walking the Saints way or costal path.
We would very much like to return

The property was wonderful and the owners were very helpful and always available if required. Unfortunately the only access was down a very narrow and long single track road with only a few passing places, which on a number of occasions caused difficulties.

Amazing location for a family holiday. We stayed with our family which include 6 grandchildren under 4. Very safe for the grandchildren. Indoor pool was a hit as was the outdoor pizza oven. Thank you Graham for a wonderful stay.

A wonderful stay for all the family. With four children under 4, we were a little concerned about the stairs and glass table initially but had no issues at all. The pool was amazing, bigger than expected, and the beach is only 10 minutes away in the car (perfect when you get caught in a thunderstorm!) Although the owners are onsite, they were not intrusive and it is useful to know they are nearby if we need them. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, we hope to return soon!

Family time
Everything about The Cider Barn was first class. A great deal of thought has gone into designing the building for a family like ours.
It is the most tranquil and relaxing space and yet very close to towns and beaches. Our hosts were discreet but available. Thank you.

Family holiday including Grand Children
The property is as described.
Eco based heating means some parts were cold on some evenings.
The rooms, bathrooms, pool, pizza oven area, were all good size as listed.
The grand children liked being able to see the ducks, etc, over the fence.
The open staircase with no bannister was a concern, but with adult care the children all coped.
Would re-book if we could get everyone together again - always a challenge for a growing family.

Beautiful inside and out
A beautiful property with everything you needed to make it a special holiday and more location was scenic and peaceful but close enough to amenities great to use as a base to travel further into Cornwall or to stay on site and relax.

Our family had a lovely stay here. Plenty of space inside and out. The quality of the property is excellent. We found the five minute car journeys to both Polkerris beach and Fowey Harbour very easy. Younger people could walk ! The Cider Barn is in a beautiful setting. P and Q caterers are happy to cook there .. we had two “in house dinners “ , lovely. We enjoyed the outside pizza oven .. very efficient. The indoor pool is lovely and warm..and a good length. Thank you Graham.

Amazing
Stayed at the Cider Barn for the weekend in September to celebrate our 25th anniversary with friends. We had the most amazing time. We were met by the owner Graham, who showed us around. The barn is beautiful inside and out, we could not have wish for more. The swimming pool is huge and was a delight to the fitness fanatics in our group. We were also lucky to have fantastic weather and were able to lounge out on the sunbeds. The men in the group were amazed by the pizza oven, but bottled out cooking meat for a bbq so we bought a cheapy at the supermarket, we did do pizzas and they turned out perfect. One night we arranged for caterers to come in, PQ catering, they cooked an amazing 3 course meal which was fantastic. The location is wonderful, very secluded and with lovely walks to Fowey and Polkerris. I can not fault The Cider Barn at all and highly recommend it for a perfect stay. We didn't want to leave....hopefully be back next year!

Stunning Cider Barn
Everything and more than advertised. Cider Barn is better than a 5 star hotel stay. Top quality indoor and outdoor furnishings. Pizza oven works a treat if there is someone in the group who can make them ( we did) Swimming pool and hot tub a wonderful bonus after long walks and cycle rides.

Beautifully converted barn, a real gem!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the place is beautiful and the owners are lovely. It’s so handy for walking into Fowey with no parking issues (parking in Fowey can be a nightmare!).
Our kids were in the pool most of the time, but after a walk back from the local beaches and restaurants, we preferred the hot tub!
The rooms are generous, The en-suite bathrooms are all finished to a high standard and the whole barn has been converted in a modern way, whilst retaining its old character. None of us wanted to leave!

Simply stunning, the best place we have stayed in as a large party
We had a fantastic week here. Graham and Heather were so welcoming and couldn’t do any more to make our stay any better. The house is stunning, finished to the highest standard and easily accommodated 16 of us with lots of space in both bedrooms and living area. The open plan kitchen, dining and living room area with its wood burner and endless log supply are great. The outside kitchen with wood fired pizza oven was fantastic fun. The pool is as big as our local swimming pool but a lot warmer, with the hot tub like a bath! Fowey and the surrounding area with its coastal walks are beautiful and the beach at Polkerris with its pub on the beach should not be missed, food there is really good. Can’t recommend this place highly enough, we will certainly be going back!
