We live in the Cotswolds in an unspoiled location close to Cheltenham town. We farm rare breed Cotswold sheep and are accidental property developers. We have two fantastic properties in idyllic locations, one in Cornwall and the other on the farm in the Cotswolds. We decided to share these gems and have now diversified into a holiday letting business. Once you have stayed you will understand why we love these places so much. We hope that you will love this unique property and location as much as we do.

Ancarva is located in the peaceful hamlet of Southdown on the Rame Peninsula, one of Cornwall’s most scenic and least discovered corners. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers dramatic coastlines, quiet beaches, and charming villages just minutes from your doorstep. The marina and boatyard at Southdown are a short stroll from the property and Millbrook Village is just a 15 minute walk along the shoreline of the lake. Millbrook has a couple of convenience stores as well as an organic shop. The twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand are just two miles away. They offer shingle beaches, waterfront pubs and restaurants, galleries, and coastal charm. Nearby, explore the 865-acre Mount Edgcumbe Country Park with its stately home, formal gardens, woodland trails, and panoramic views over Plymouth Sound. Penlee Battery offers peaceful cliff-top walks and birdwatching, while Whitsand Bay’s golden sands and surf are perfect for beach days with RNLI life guards in season. For day trips, head to The Eden Project (approx. 1 hour), home to vast biomes and sustainability exhibits, or The Lost Gardens of Heligan, a magical 200-acre estate with restored Victorian gardens and wildlife trails. There are also many National Trust properties to explore in the area and Port Eliot estate is also worth a visit.. To explore further afield without using a car, you can take the passenger ferry from Mount Edgecumbe across the river to Plymouth. Guests often enjoy paddleboarding, sailing, and crab fishing off the pontoon at Ancarva or simply relaxing on the balcony with a glass of wine watching the tide roll in. Whether you're seeking adventure or tranquillity, Ancarva offers a gateway to Cornwall’s wild beauty and timeless charm. The area is also rich in wildlife—look out for herons, egrets, and seals in the estuary, or spot buzzards and kestrels soaring above the fields. Local cafés and farm shops offer fresh produce and artisan treats, while nearby pubs serve hearty Cornish fare.
