'Mesmear', St. Minver, Nr Rock, North Cornwall.
Arriving at Mesmear the gorgeous rural setting, sparkling swimming pool and three beautifully restored 18th century barns (sleeping 4, 4 & 10) hint at the sophistication you might find within, yet the stylish interiors and attention to detail still manage to exceed the highest expectations. A stay at one of the three cottages here is very much like having sole use of your own, family-friendly, boutique hotel, especially at 'The Mill’, where a housekeeper is on hand, to cook delicious breakfasts, dinners and fabulous cakes for afternoon tea.

This is a boutique retreat with a difference, a commitment to the local and global environment. Owners, Tessa and Alan Rose, ensured as much local talent as possible was involved in the creation of the barns and now showcase work by local artists. Geothermal and solar powered energy heats the barns and pool. The combination of fabulous artworks, heated outdoor pool, contemporary furnishings, indulgent bathrooms and luxury touches such as Egyptian cotton bed linen, Seboni Spa toiletries and cook/housekeeper, might seem almost too good for a family break, but equal attention has been paid to the needs of younger guests. A cabin bedroom, a den with funky beanbags, baskets of toys and nursery equipment, plus enclosed front and rear gardens are all designed with little ones in mind . In addition, the cook serves a special kids supper in early evenings, the menu for which can be agreed in advance, allowing adults to relax over their three course dinner and free flowing wine later.
Along with the interiors and cuisine, the location of Mesmear is also pretty special. It is wonderfully peaceful thanks to the 160 acres of beautiful rural landscape it is set in, but just a mile from the surf at Polzeath and four miles from Rock and Padstow. Try the lovely coastal walks easily accessible from Mesmear or jump in the car for the short drive to the sandy beaches of Polzeath, Daymer and Rock. Don't miss the chance to try Michelin Star dining at Ripleys in St Merryn or the ubiquitous Rick Stein’s.
Rentals of the 2-bedroom Barn or Calf House are £900 per week , whilst The Mill, which sleeps 10 and comes with cook/housekeeper and meals is from are from £3,500 per week
