Rosemerryn, Lamorna, Cornwall

Rosemerryn House sleeps 13 + 3 roll-out beds
Rosemerryn Cottage sleeps 4 + 1 double sofa-bed

Set in 7 acres of private woodland, Rosemerryn is a former artist’s residence, built for Benjamin and Isabelle Leder at the turn of the 20th century.

Rosemerryn offers 6 spacious bedrooms (2 of which are en suite), a big farmhouse kitchen with a table large enough for 14 and an AGA and electric cooker and a large lounge which, having once been the artist's studio, is beautifully lit by a huge north-facing window. In addition, there is a charming conservatory - plenty of space for a big group to be together, but also to escape on your own. The house is reminiscent of a slower, more pensive way of life.

Outside is a beautiful, private garden, with a barbecue and chiminea for chillier evenings, and seating for al fresco dining together.

The games room, which is to one side of the garden, is equipped with an entertainment system and a table tennis table, but once the table is stowed away in the cupboard the room becomes a simple, clear space for workshops, such as Yoga or dance, or any group activity.

For larger groups Rosemerryn Cottage is also available, offering an additional double bedroom, twin room and sofa-bed. Standing in its own secluded garden within the grounds, it is close enough to act as an annexe to the main house, but separate enough that neither property encroaches on the privacy of the other. The games room, designed primarily for use by guests of the house, is only available for use by guests staying in the cottage if the cottage and house are rented together.

Beyond the garden is the Boleigh Fogou, a 2000 year old, man-made cave or temple, which was once part of an iron-age settlement; just one of numerous such Ancient Celtic Sites to be found in the far west of Cornwall.
There are well worn paths to follow through the woods, many made by badgers and foxes, and one, trodden more by humans, which will direct you down through the valley to the local pub, the Lamorna Wink, or on to the Cove where there is a small café overlooking the harbour beach and the waves rolling in across the Atlantic.
