The details
Hidden away on the beautiful Helford, Howthere Barn is the sort of romantic retreat that lingers long in the memory. This award-winning barn conversion perfectly balances historic character with contemporary design, creating a unique hideaway for two where soaring ceilings, original stone walls and floor-to-ceiling glazing combine to create a wonderfully light and inviting space. Whether you're planning a summer escape filled with coastal adventures or a cosy winter break beside the fire, this boutique bolthole offers an unforgettable stay in one of Cornwall's most enchanting corners.
Inside, the imaginative layout makes the most of the barn's original architecture while introducing every modern comfort. The open-plan living space feels wonderfully spacious thanks to its double-height ceiling, yet remains warm and intimate with underfloor heating and a fabulous inset wood burner ready for cooler evenings. Curl up on the generous sofa with a good book or your favourite film after a day exploring the coast, while the compact yet beautifully equipped kitchen provides everything you need to prepare leisurely breakfasts or romantic dinners for two. A stylish dining area completes the space, while the contemporary bathroom features a generous walk-in shower.
An open-tread staircase leads to the stunning mezzanine bedroom, where a luxurious super-king size bed sits beneath impressive original beams. One of the most memorable features is the romantic freestanding double-ended bath positioned beside the bedroom, allowing you to soak in complete comfort before climbing into bed. Contemporary glazed screens overlook the living space below, adding to the barn's striking architectural appeal while maintaining its bright, open feel.
Outside, huge glazed doors open onto your own private south-facing courtyard, complete with outdoor seating and a barbecue. Beyond lies the beautifully planted gardens of Kestle Barton, where guests have direct access to peaceful meadows and orchards. The award-winning Kestle Barton Gallery sits just next door, showcasing an ever-changing programme of exhibitions, sculpture and workshops, while serving excellent coffee and homemade treats during opening hours.
The surrounding Helford area is one of Cornwall's best-kept secrets. Wander scenic footpaths through ancient woodland to the charming village of Helford, visit the creeks that inspired Daphne du Maurier's Frenchman's Creek or spend lazy afternoons discovering secluded beaches and hidden coves. Picturesque fishing villages, welcoming pubs, excellent restaurants, world-famous subtropical gardens and countless coastal walks all await nearby, making Howthere Barn the perfect base for a relaxing Cornish escape.
