BRUNNION BARNS

email address: [email protected]

Between St Ives and Penzance, close to Carbis Bay and not far from Hayle and the A30, Brunnion Barns, each sleeping 4/5 guests, are situated in an ideal position for those wanting a rural base but still having access to local amenities.

We welcome well behaved dogs and do not limit our guests to a single pet. We now have ‘dog deterrent’ gates on both properties. Dogs can’t be left in these areas unsupervised but they do mean that our guests can relax in the rear garden of Brunnion House and in the area of the decking and the summerhouse of Brunnion Cottage without having to keep their pets on leads.

We bought Brunnion Barns as disused farm buildings 1983 and like to think that we have sympathetically renovated them, losing nothing of the historic feel of these 200 year old granite structures. The one time hard-cored farm yard has been replaced by mature but informal lawned gardens, native primroses, cowslips and violets intermingling with many more exotic plants and shrubs, flowers blooming happily almost all year round attracting butterflies and bees.

We encourage many species of birds to the feeders, which can be viewed through several windows in both properties. We have barn owl boxes up in two of the barns in our stable yard hoping to attract the owls that have been seen in the area. There are some excellent bird watching sites within easy driving distance and we are happy to check rarities in the area if any of our guests would like this information.

The whole area has fascinating historic importance dating back to the time of the Doomsday Book. From the front lawns you look out at Trencrom, a fortified hill settled in Neolithic times and probably prior to that as well. The walk up to the top of Trencrom is well worth the effort as the views across the surrounding countryside are spectacular. We also have a Neolithic stone axe recovered from one of our fields.

Once part of Wheal Sisters tin & copper mines, Brunnion has a long mining heritage and there is a disused engine house just down the road. We have put together a brief history of the area of Lelant Downs and a copy is available in both properties.

There are distant sea views from the front garden but, from the top of our fields, which are available for dog exercise and ball games, you can see both seas as well as the top of St. Michael’s mount. A ‘book’ of dog friendly attractions is also in each property.

If you book to stay at Brunnion, a welcome letter will be sent giving all the details of the property and comprehensive directions to our property.
