The Dairy House at Boconnoc - Self-catering in Cornwall
The Estate Office, Boconnoc, Lostwithiel, PL22 0RG, Cornwall
England,
Regno Unito
What was the old stone-built dairy can be found in the courtyard and stables area, along with the estate office. It's deeply comfortable inside with bold, colourful interiors designed by Sarah Fortescue and plenty of space in the sitting room, a dining room with a hand-built oak table for long, convivial meals and a log-burner to keep you cosy. A smart TV, books and games for wet days and a boot room for dripping gear will keep everybody happy.
Bedrooms, with crisp linen and pretty fabrics have views over the courtyard or stunning countryside; bathrooms sport fluffy towels and Made for Life soaps and lotions. The kitchen bristles with pots and pans and an in-house chef can be booked. A Cornish cream tea greets you (remember, jam first!) along with fresh flowers. You can order produce from the kitchen garden and a filled picnic hamper for lazy days.
In spring the gardens explode with rhododendrons and azaleas and birdsong erupts.

Local points of interest from The Fortescue Family:
Punti d'interesse locali da
The Fortescue Family:
- Try one of the delicious local restaurants - in Fowey you will find Appleton's, Fitzroy and North Street Kitchen which is a 20 minute drive away, or head to Charlestown and try The Longstore.
- Take a tour of the gin distillery on the estate, watch the onsite furniture maker at work in his workshop or see the model railway in one of the barns in the Stable yard
- Cycle to the beautiful village of Lerryn, buy an ice-cream from the shop, or a drink from the pub and sit at the picnic tables by the river. It is an idyllic spot, especially on a sunny day.
- Explore the south coast beaches - Talland Bay is a lovely swimming spot, with a cafe by the beach, and kayaks for hire. Or park and take the long walk down the cliffs to Lantic Bay.
- To keep the kids, or adults entertained try Adrenalin Quarry, fifteen minutes from Boconnoc, which has an inflatable water park, go-karting, a zip wire, axe throwing and much more.
- Book to use one of the Boconnoc mountain bikes to explore the grounds, or use the tennis rackets and balls to knock up on the court.
