Set in the heart of Cornwall's historic clay country, Fenton
Farm makes an ideal base for exploring this fascinating county.
Built in 1870 the farmhouse was home to several generations of
farmers who provided horses to haul wagons of China Clay down to
the docks at Charlestown.
The accommodation:
The accommodation is self contained in the adjoining Old Mill
where grain was once turned into food for the horses who
continued to be used in the industry until 1949. Horses still
live at Fenton Farm but these have a much easier lifestyle than
their predecessors
The Old Mill has a double bed and an en-suite bathroom. Free-view
satellite television is installed and the stable doors open onto
a generous raised patio with comfortable seating and table and
chairs for alfresco dining with gas barbecue
Breakfast is served in the main farmhouse
and where ever possible fresh local produce is used. Eggs come
from the farm's own chickens, bacon from a nearby farm, and
bread is baked daily.
Evening meals can be provided, again using fresh local
ingredients.
Afternoon cream teas with home made scones, Cornish clotted
cream and local strawberry jam are a special treat.
Surrounded by moorland re-claimed from the clay
industry with 75 acres immediately on our doorstep, this is now
home to a wide variety of wildlife including deer, foxes,
badgers, rabbits, buzzards, ravens, Canada Geese, plus many
other species.

Locally:
Fenton Farm is more 'rustic charm' than designer chic'. It will
appeal to those guests who appreciate the natural environment,
wellingtons at the back door, damp spaniels, inquisitive cats
and the sound of owls in the night
It is situated between two rural villages in the heart of the
old clay mining industry with 75 acres of moor land directly
adjoining the farm. Although very rural the farm is just a 10
minute drive from the A30 running through the centre of
Cornwall, this makes the whole of Cornwall easily
accessible.
There are various pubs/restaurants within a short drive with the
nearest major town being St Austell with Newquay and Bodmin not
much further.
Your hosts, David and Ros Owens have lived and worked in the
area for over thirty years and will be delighted to assist with
any help guests might need in planning their itinerary.
Within a short drive:

St Austell town with the neighbouring attractions of:

With the main trunk road the A30 being just 6 minutes away,
most of Cornwall can be reached within an hour's drive.
