Mayrose Well

Mayrose Farm is still seeing families and toddlers, perhaps in Wellies !

Even Autumn hasn't stopped the visitors, lots of folk have been enjoying the mild weather, and such exciting seas on these windy days. There's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes....

There have been lots of heads down holes here, digging for our new studuo unit and also a very exciting discovery...A very large well under our office floor, we are putting down a new floor. Next I see the builder in a harness 30ft down, he's a cliff rescue coastgauard in his spare time ! Tea and biscuits down the well! Glass top and lights will enable our visitors to have a look..

Eden Experience



The Eden Experience, A night under the stars being auctioned for Children in Need. We are so topical here at Mayrose - we offer the same experience in our Glamppod, a unique Glamping lifestyle. Holiday under the stars, a mini Eden Pod to protect you from the elements should they be less than friendly. Wood burning stove, kingsize bed, indoor garden--enjoy the space of a whole field to yourselves.


19 August 2009


What a great few weeks we have had at Mayrose cottages, full bookings and such great guests enjoying a relaxed, carefree time around our 18 acres.

The Glamppod has had lots of our own family enjoying evening parties down in it's own field. Camp fire stories and privacy, children and adults playing family games, cooking on camp fire or barbecue, or relaxing with a 'glass' admiring the the indoor garden and views.

The ducks enjoyed it too



We are taking bookings for next year already so we'll look forward to hearing from you all

Free-range Kids

For most urban parents, the idea of allowing your children out into the street to play with their friends is an option that disappeared along with free school milk and the three day week. However at Mayrose Farm free-range kids are the norm. Here you can live the idyll not just of a pretty Cornish hamlet but one of 30 years ago.

While parents relax and enjoy the calm of one of our six pretty stone cottages their children can make friends and play outside the old fashioned way. Remember the joy of knocking for your pals? The sense of liberation as you wandered from house to house to your own timetable? Remember fishing for tadpoles and building a den? All still possible for the free-range kids at Mayrose Farm.

Children of all ages love feeding the ducks and lambs, exploring the farm or having a good old kick-about with jumpers for goalposts. Long-lasting friendships form in the fresh air and children sleep soundly; sun-kissed, wind-blown and content.

Ready for Summer Holidays




Lots of spring time happenings...a stoat has been seen, terrorising our chicks. We also are pleased to have new rabbits, guinea pigs, and ducks for our duck pond.


This bank holiday weekend we have a full complement of visitors, the Glamppod being much enjoyed, and the heated swimming pool.

The sheep are very happy to have been sheared.

We have September vacancies and will be delighted to help with any booking queries

What a difference a bit of scrubbing can do.
We are ready for the summer

Our own little helpers have made the pool brilliant







We have also had a superb week of helping hands sourced from Southampton University. Four volunteers have had a weeks working holiday at Mayrose, accommodation and lunch provided, in return half a day of helping us with Spring chores and the rest of the day to play. We all enjoyed it very much and have made new friends. Volunteers for next year please.......

Working holiday jobs for Mayrose
Painter decorator urgently needed...get in touch
info@mayrosefarmcottages.co.uk

01840213509


1) Working holiday. We need 4 students for a week at the end of March to help clear and tidy our grounds ready for the start of the season. They will work with David who manages the site. Anything could be asked from painting outside walls to hedge tidying, digging a garden and clearing a small lake. So practical people only need apply.... We will provide accommodation in one of our cottages , also one meal a day, and ask for half a days work for 6 days. The rest of the day is holiday time for walking, surfing, exploring etc. We are a small family run business with a few friendly farm animals, not a working farm.

2) A couple to work here for the summer. Accommodation will be provided in a static caravan on our small camping field. Again work for half a day on general jobs helping us run the 6 cottages, grounds and visitors...
We will also in this case offer some payment. Anyone interested will need to have a car as bus services here are not good. The dates we require are from mid June to mid September. This would give a great opportunity to spend a summer in Cornwall and have lots of time to explore...
