Bonython Farmhouse is a wonderful place for a get-together – and to get-away.

Sleeping 10 in five en suite bedrooms, the farmhouse is beautifully furnished and has been awarded a 5-star rating by the Cornish Tourist Board. Full of rustic charm, yet bursting with modern touches, Bonython Farmhouse has grown and adapted over centuries and retains a special timeless quality.

The lovingly restored farmhouse is situated in an enviable sheltered location in the heart of the magnificent Bonython Estate on Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula. Guests can enjoy the tranquillity of the beautiful and renowned Bonython Estate Gardens beyond it's own acre of private gardens.

Situated six miles south of Helston, the historic country estate is close to the magnificent beaches and coves of The Lizard Peninsula. Eight minutes drive brings you down to Poldhu Cove and the wonderful coastal paths.

The light and homely living areas provide ample space for all the family to enjoy some downtime. There's a spacious sitting room and family room, both with wood burning stoves, an elegant dining room, sunny garden room and country-chic kitchen.

There are five bedrooms - four upstairs and one on the ground floor, each with its own bath or shower room. Each bedroom is light and airy with high ceilings open to the ancient rafters. Equipped with luxurious linen, cotton sheets and duvets - choose any room and enjoy delicious dreams.

The beautifully appointed farmhouse has a sunny barbecue terrace, perfect for al fresco dining and soaking up the sun. Surrounded by an acre of private gardens with far-reaching countryside views, ancient walls and hedgerows offer complete privacy. Whether for playing, barbecuing or simply relaxing, there is plenty of room for everyone to find their own space.
