General Info

Boturnell Farm has a long history and is reputed to have been mentioned in the Doomsday Book. Now it’s a 25 acre farm with a collection of holiday lets, specifically created for those holidaying with their pets. On site guests and their pets can explore the private woodland and meet the animals, many of which are rescue animals - an alpaca, horses, cats, pigs, ducks and chickens, to name just a few. The farm is not far from Looe, Polperro and Bodmin Moor.

Nissen Huts were originally invented in WW1 and built as housing for troops. They are made from corrugated iron placed over a wood and steel frame. Today many of them have been restored and reimagined as holiday lets, home offices and animal shelters.

The Area Surrounding The Property / Accommodation

The farm is set in stunning Cornish countryside, ideally positioned for exploring both Cornwall and Devon. A wide range of attractions are nearby, including sandy beaches, open moorland, and historic fishing harbours. St Pinnock is a small village situated close to the historic market town of Liskeard to the east and the town of Lostwithiel to the west. The larger towns of St Austell and Plymouth can be reached in under 30 minutes. Just a short drive away are the popular and characterful coastal villages of Looe and Polperro, along with the well-known harbour at Charlestown.
