Why we love it
Old Lan Warnick gets the balance right: close enough to Cornwall’s south coast for beach days and fishing villages, yet tucked so deeply into its own valley that the prevailing mood is one of stillness. The old farm buildings have been thoughtfully converted without losing their rural character, and the wider estate gives the stay its real pull — woodland, stream, open fields, animals and dark enough skies for a late soak under the stars. It feels like a place designed less around ticking off sights and more around settling into a gentler rhythm together.

About the Property
Set among 34 acres of private Cornish countryside, Old Lan Warnick is a collection of former farm buildings and glamping stays made for slower, more grounded holidays. Expect a secluded setting at the end of a country lane, with wildlife in the woodland, resident chickens on the farm and enough outdoor space for children and dogs to properly roam. The cottages retain a sense of age and texture, with features such as vaulted ceilings and flagstone floors, while the overall feel is warm rather than showy. Days here tend to unfold easily: a walk down to the stream, a run through the fields, a trip to the coast, then back for a barbecue, the wood burner or an evening in the hot tub.
Location
Duloe, South East Cornwall
This quieter corner of South East Cornwall offers a gentler version of the county: wooded valleys, winding lanes, old stone villages and easy access to the Heritage Coast. From Duloe, you can reach the sea in little time, whether for broad beaches, hidden coves or the harbour towns of Looe, Polperro and Fowey. It suits travellers who want Cornwall’s coastline without the constant bustle — somewhere you can spend a morning by the water, an afternoon walking inland, and return to deep countryside calm by evening.
