Howthere Barn - sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom | Cottage in Helford
1 Bedroom Cottage in Helford
Howthere Barn is one of our most popular hideaways for two, and it's easy to see why. Step through the unassuming doorway and you know that this is no ordinary barn-conversion. Howthere has been created with comfort in mind — curl up on the sofa by the cosy woodburner and enjoy the beautiful garden views. Nearby there's picturesque creek-side walks, cosy pubs, impossibly charming fishing villages, world-famous subtropical gardens, great restaurants, enticing art-galleries and pristine beaches that we are blessed with in this secret corner of the Helford.
Set on the ancient farmstead of Kestle Barton, the whole of which has been lovingly restored, you will also find the Kestle Barton gallery, with its changing displays, art workshops and beautiful sculpture garden. As well as Howthere, there are four more holiday retreats sleeping four, six and eight, including the original Kestle Barton Farmhouse, making this a fantastic place to book separate accommodation with friends and family. You can find the full collection here on our website.
Inside
The integrity of this historic barn has been cleverly retained by opening out the full two-storey height of the interior space and creating a modern pod of kitchen, bathroom and night-time space in the heart of the building — leaving swathes of open internal wall and double-height glazed doors to the garden. The clever design creates a space that is at the same time intimate and open, old and new, cosy yet light and airy.
In the living area you will find a small but perfectly formed kitchen and dining space, fully equipped so that even the most enthusiastic cook will not feel under-tooled. Opposite this the large sofa, TV and fabulous inset woodburner beckon for nights in, complemented by the underfloor heating. You'll also find a contemporary bathroom with walk in shower tucked discretely away. Follow the open-tread stairs up to the bedroom space where you will find a plush super king bed, set beneath huge beams and flanked on one side by contemporary glazed screens overlooking the space below and on the other, a romantic double-ended and free-standing bath. It's the perfect space to unwind, especially after a day's adventure exploring the local country and coastal walks nearby.
Outside
Step out of Howthere Barn through double-height glazed doors into a small private, south-facing courtyard which is a corner of the beautifully planted garden of the Kestle Barton gallery. Here you can enjoy your own garden seating and a barbecue, as well as direct access to the meadows and orchard beyond. During times the gallery is open you will find your friendly hosts here, so there is a helping hand if you need them. You can also get coffee and often nice baked things here. Many of the artists showcased by the Kestle Barton gallery have international reputations and exhibitions change regularly throughout the spring, summer and autumn.
Things we love
The clever interior design makes this space an absolute joy for any time of the year. Throw the huge double doors open onto the garden and you have an airy and spacious spring or summer retreat. Hunker down with the wood burner and a great book or classic film and you have a cosy autumn or winter bolthole. The setting of Kestle Barton is also wonderfully unique. You are staying not only in a beautiful barn conversion, but also in the heart of an ancient farmstead that is now both a haven for escape, and a highly reputed centre for the arts. In turn, Kestle Barton is connected to the world by footpaths that lead to beautiful woodlands and the nearby Helford village. Howthere Barn certainly serves as the ideal base for a restful and restorative retreat.
