Bonython Farmhouse is a wonderful place for a get-together – and to get-away.
Sleeping 10 in five en suite bedrooms, the lovingly restored farmhouse is situated in an enviable sheltered location in the heart of the magnificent Bonython Estate on Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula. The farmhouse is beautifully furnished, and has been awarded a 5-star rating by the Cornish Tourist Board.
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 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.
Full of rustic charm, yet bursting with modern touches, Bonython Farmhouse has grown and adapted over centuries and retains a special timeless quality.
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, a sunny garden room and two kitchens, one with a large dining table seating ten.
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.

Location:
Whilst privacy, peace and seclusion are the hallmark of Bonython Farmhouse, the renowned twenty acre Bonython Estate Gardens are there for guests to enjoy whenever they choose. Rated as one of the 'Great Gardens of Cornwall', the gardens comprise 20 acres and offer excitement and surprises, with colour and interest in all seasons. Remodelled in recent years to include a contemporary water feature behind the delightful Georgian house, stroll through an eighteenth century Walled Garden, a traditional Potager Garden and an orchard of Cornish variety apple trees, on through parkland to a series of three small lakes, each with different atmosphere and planting with a stream cascade in a sheltered valley.
Bonython is a traditional, mixed agricultural Cornish estate with the 18th century Manor, farm and woodland stretching almost from one side of the peninsula (the Helford River) to the other (the beach at Poldhu Cove) with each shore just over a mile away.
Situated six miles south of Helston, the historic country estate is close to the magnificent beaches and historic coves of The Lizard Peninsula, such as Kynance Cove and Kennack Sands. Eight minutes drive brings you down to Poldhu Cove and the wonderful coastal paths. Numerous fishing villages include Mullion, Coverack and Cadgwith. Mullion (2 miles), the largest village on the Lizard, is famous for Cornish crab and lobsters. Its many amenities include shops, convenience stores, inns, cafes and restaurants, craft shops and art galleries.
The nearest supermarkets are in Helston (5 miles distant) - there is Sainsbury, Tesco and Lidl.
