Can I book the whole house?

It is possible to have an exclusive hire of the entire farm - Farmhouse, Grain Store, restaurant and cottage.

Do you have any wheelchair accessible rooms?

Rooms 6 & 7 are wheelchair friendly, please contact us for more information.

What is the setting like?

Set amongst 66 acres of meadows, woodland and oak-lined streams, Coombeshead Farm is a guesthouse, restaurant and working farm offering glorious isolation and farmhouse comforts in the heart of Cornwall’s rural countryside.

As well as a guesthouse and restaurant, we are a working farm and bakery. Unfortunately this does mean that members of the farm - both human and animal - are up and about as the sun rises.

Our new Grain Store rooms are well insulated and double glazed but please bear in mind that rooms 6 & 7 open out opposite our on site bakery. We endeavour to keep noise to an absolute minimum but if you sleep with the windows open you will have the smell of fresh bread from the early hours. Rooms 1 - 5 are situated in our 19th century farmhouse, set above the farmyard and thus away from bakery and kitchen, surrounded by garden and beside the small country lane on which Coombeshead dwells. Rooms 8 & 9 face only the farm and vegetable garden - the pigs, cows and chickens remain subdued for the most part, but there is often a wonderful dawn chorus through Spring and Summer.

Do you accept children?

Children and babies are welcome for lunch and dinner in the restaurant. They are welcome to stay in the self-catered cottage (sleeps 4) and for Private Hire of the Farm. However, the bed and breakfast rooms are only suitable for those over the age of 12.

Do you accept dogs?

Only the cottage and Room 6 are dog friendly, with a £30 fee applied per animal per stay.

Dogs are permitted on the grounds of the farm but as a working farm with livestock kept throughout the year, we please ask that your dog remains on a lead at all times. Due to our open kitchen, dogs are not allowed in the restaurant or in the Farmhouse.

What happens if I need to cancel?

What dietary requirements do you cater for?

We will try to cater for most medical dietary needs and allergies as long as we are given enough notice - Please notify us upon booking. Those with Coeliac Disease need to be aware that we have a mill onsite where we mill flour for our bakery. We do not cater to preferences.

Do you accept dogs?

Due to the open plan kitchen, dogs are not allowed in the restaurant (assistance dogs are welcome).

Do you accept children in the restaurant?

Children are welcome in the restaurant at both Lunch & Dinner but please note that due to the size of the dining room, every seat is charged for unless we are notified that they will not be eating or are sharing.
