Glebe Farmhouse
Glebe Farmhouse is a delightful Grade II Listed, detached, granite cottage steeped in history and nestled in the rugged beauty of the Land's End peninsula. Tucked within a tranquil parish, it offers a scenic walk to Carn Euny, a preserved ancient village which was occupied from the Iron Age until late Roman times, making it a dream retreat for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.
Inside, the farmhouse blends traditional charm with modern comfort. The heart of the home is the contemporary kitchen leading to a spacious dining-room where a grand fireplace with roaring wood-burner creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Rustic beams, flagstone floors and preserved floorboards all nod to the cottage's heritage whilst the newly appointed well-equipped kitchen make for effortless cooking and dining.
The huge sitting-room is a cosy space, featuring another impressive wood-burner and deep comfortable seating, original wood panelling and stripped pine doors, this is the perfect place for unwinding after a day exploring the west of this magnificent county.
Upstairs the bedrooms exude charm and comfort. The principal, antique furnished, double bedroom boasts an en suite shower-room and another delightful double offers a cosy retreat with sweet set windows throwing in natural light. Two charming singles provide a haven for two extra lucky guests. A beautifully finished traditional family bathroom completes the upstairs, offering a relaxing place to soak and refresh.

Mrs Halfacree
Glebe Farmhouse is a remote and very old Cornish farmhouse with lots of original features. The fireplace in the kitchen is particularly cosy and the window seats lovely. With the age of the property it's floorboards and partitions are quite thin, so may not be good if you have a younger one you need to get to sleep early, as sound carries throughout. The property is down a long, winding road with high hedges which adds to the sense of peace and isolation. We have 3 older children of 12, 17 and 21 and we enjoyed walks in the area and exploring Carn Euny. The property has everything you could wish for in terms of cooking family meals, however, there's no tumble dryer so anything washed will need to be line dried. There were puzzles and games to enjoy, as well as books and DVDs and the super fast WiFi is great as we had no signal anywhere else! Overall, very comfortable and enjoyable and we had a lovely week away.
