5* Idyllic rural cottage, only 20 minutes from both North & South Cornish coasts

Skylarks is a beautiful detached barn conversion, tucked away down a wooded lane in a peaceful rural setting. Dog-friendly, with full self-catering amenities.
Ideally situated in central Cornwall, and close to the delights of both coasts, and rolling fields, this is the perfect spot for walkers and cyclists. Free parking and secure e-bike charging are also available.
Gold 5 Star Visit England rating 2021/22, and AA Covid Confident accreditation.

There are just two self-catering cottages at Bolotho Barns, so there is both seclusion and great attention to detail. Skylarks comes with all the comfort of a boutique hotel, with a king-size sleigh bed, roll top bath, walk-in shower, fluffy bathrobes and a cosy woodburner. Luxury soft furnishings and organic toiletries add to the relaxing and indulgent atmosphere.

Skylarks has a private patio, equipped with sun-loungers, barbecue and dining area, with steps leading directly to the apple and cherry orchard and our paddock beyond. Guests are free to walk around our land and walk your dogs. You may come across an occasional shy deer as well as the many wild birds who make their home here such as kites, swallows, barnowls and pheasants. The owners live next-door so are on hand to make your stay as perfect as possible!
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.

Das Ferienhaus liegt etwas außerhalb von Truro in einer sehr ruhigen Gegend und bietet alles, was man für einen entspannten Aufenthalt benötigt.Wir könnten alles Positive des Ferienhauses beschreiben, aber das würde von den Zeichen nicht reichen und es gibt nichts Negatives zu schreiben.Von der Ferienunterkunft gelangt man super zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten in SüdWest Cornwall.Rundum, es ist einfach toll und wir und auch unser Hund haben sich so wohl gefühlt.Wir haben unsere Gastgeber und auch sehr, sehr viele Briten in Cornwall als unglaublich hundefreundlich empfunden. Das hat noch zusätzlich zu einem entspannten Urlaub beigetragen.Sehr gerne werden wir wiederkommen
Stayed 13 nights in Jul 2026
