The Old  Wash House is a beautifully restored granite barn, recently completed in 2010 using natural and traditional building materials.  It is designed as a peaceful retreat for couples or small families (2 adults and 2 children). 

The chunky wooden beams, eco-limed pine floors, handmade turquoise tiles and 'Clearview' wood burner together create a peaceful and relaxing space to spend your romantic break or family holiday.  We provide goose down duvets, and white cotton bed linen for your stay.

The Old Wash House has its own private courtyard garden with table, chairs and barbeque, use of the main lawned garden with a trampoline for children, and wireless internet access.  You will find free range chickens wandering around the garden, and we welcome well behaved dogs!

The Old Wash House is located on a working dairy farm and within 3 miles of two of the best surfing beaches in West Cornwall (Gwenver and Sennen).  We are well located for sand, surf and walking holidays.

The Old Wash House accommodation comprises a large double bedroom/living room with wood burner,  twin attic bedroom, large kitchen /dining/sitting room, hallway and bathroom.  The interior of the Old Wash House has just recently been completed in 2010 so all fixtures and fittings are new.  The Old Wash House has been very well insultated so is very warm and the heat from the wood burner is more than enough to heat all the rooms.  An electric heater is also supplied for top up.

The master bedroom / sitting room is spacious and heated with a ‘Clearview’ wood burner.  This room has a pine double bed, limed eco wood stained floors, an antique pine chest of drawers, 2  comfortable lounging chairs, book shelves stacked with books and a warm wool rug.  We provide goose down duvets and white cotton bed linen.

Above the master bedroom is the attic bedroom. A Dutch staircase from the master bedroom leads up to the attic bedroom which has two single beds in it which is ideal for children and teenagers. It is carpeted throughout and looks over the kitchen in one direction and has a velux sky light with fantastic views across the valley in the other. It is very light and warm.
