Mayrose has a large very sheltered heated swimming pool. On a summer day lounge by the pool and think you are in the Mediterranean, sheltering walls, and shrub planting, create an oasis of sheltered warmth. Even on a rainy day the children can swim while parents watch from the glass roofed patio area. Our pool is heated and kept to a constant ambient temperature.

Tranquility is to be found after a 5 minute walk on the path beside our fields down to the large duck pond. A delightful spot to wander down to for a picnic or evening stroll. Some folks take barbeques down on warm summer evenings. It is our favourite spot for summer Sunday lunchtimes, bbq or picnic and, of course, a bottle or two and no need to drive. The ducks are extremely friendly and will join you, they have even been known to keep watch on sleeping children.

Mayrose farm is run by David and Jane as a home for our pet animals. Grazing the fields and always wanting a nose scratch are Woolly, Harriet, Barny, and Gollum the sheep. Our chickens love to be talked to and will provide you with their brown eggs. Their yolks are so yellow with all the grass they eat. The rabbits and guinea pigs also like a visit specially if carrots are involved. The two resident geese seem to keep everyone in order.. Our toddler and children visitors love watching them all and feeding the chickens, I have even seen the parents on regular evening visits to check on the pigs Briony and Davinia, and goats Boots and Welly.

Books, DVDs and a library of books await your browsing and borrowing in our games room, even a comfy sofa to relax in. A great place to sit on an early spring day, or cooler autumn afternoon with the sunshine streaming in. We also have some outdoor games, to borrow there, toys for the toddlers, and a pool table for the parents.

From the bottom of the fields you can get onto the network of lanes around mayrose, or just stroll round our footpath, rest by the lake and wander back to your cottage or the pool.

Mayrose Farm is close to the A39 so a brilliant place to stay to visit all of the attractions of Cornwall. The Eden project is only 30mins away, Padstow 30 mins, or why not visit the popular area of Rock and then spend a few hours in Padstow by crossing on the ferry, just a 10 minute delightful journey across the estuary. Views from the ferry are stunning. About 10 minutes drive away is the very beautiful wild areas of Bodmin Moor. Wonderful walks where you hardly meet a soul, and glorious views, try taking an evening stroll and watch the sunset over the sea, also viewing nearly all of Cornwall from Roughtor. I have seen the isle of Lundy from there many times. Just walking along our lanes is a joy, so often full of many wild flowers.
