Services
Having spent our entire careers in the travel and tourism industry, we thought it would be a great idea to end our travels and try to put all our knowledge and experience into providing this wonderful property and its legacy of fabulous service and breakfasts with another twist yet maintaining everything great that has been created so far.
This 16th Century structure, now known as Penvith Barns, and its glass covered mystical smugglers tunnel is in a rather delightful spot on the South East Cornish coast, that we now call home.

The farms hereabouts are ancient and have royal connections.
The three major estates of Bucklawren, Boddiga and Treveria (which between them probably incorporated Penvith) were owned by King Harold, the ill-fated runner up in the Battle of Hastings.
The new King, William, noted them in the Domesday Book, and presented the lands to the Monastery of St Stephen in Launceston.
Not long after this, in the 13th or 14th Century, there was a manor house at Penvith, probably where the front garden of the old farmhouse is now.
