Colan Barton, Newquay, Cornwall

Lovingly restored, Colan Barton offers a magical escape for families and friends seeking a relaxed stay in beautiful, dog friendly and historic surroundings. You can even arrive and depart your front door in style - by private helicopter.

Conveniently situated with Newquay airport only 10 minutes away, it's the ideal 'fly in' base for guests from around the world. The house, wrapped in 10 acres, enjoys safe, open and private countryside without any immediate neighbours, but is amazingly only 10 minutes from the nearest beach and shops, and within easy reach of the delights of the Eden Project, The Minack Theatre and nearby Padstow for those seeking gastronomic delights.

Colan has 7 beautiful, contemporary bedrooms, 2 en suite, with 2 further full family bathrooms, one being on the ground floor with easier access, coupled with a separate handy toilet cloakroom, easily accessed from outside. The house can be naturally divided to offer further privacy if sharing with several families and friends, with the heart of the home remaining the fireside dining room and stunning farmhouse kitchen, complete with 4 oven Aga overlooking the sunsetting valley to the sea. After dinner relax in the log burning lounge whilst the children head for the snug beside the 'popcorn' galley kitchen - perfect hang out.

The handy boot room and laundry houses a washing machine, tumble dryer and ironing facilities. Along with an outdoor wet suit rinsing tank and hanging wall, the ideal place, after a long day on the beach, for hanging up your boots and wetsuits with ease.

Colan’s grounds were made with entertaining in mind, with an outdoor heated pool (June to October), and muscle easing hot tub positioned in the stunning historic ruins. The Weber barbecues and pool house is the perfect place for alfresco dining as you finally watch the sunset sat round the fire-pit - toasting marshmallows and sipping adult only hot chocolate all whilst sharing the adventures of the day, leaving the kids testing each others skills over table tennis or foosball in the games room.

Colan Barton holiday house in Cornwall - the perfect destination for making memories that will last a lifetime.
