Come and stay in this ancient, special place in the heart of Cornwall. The grass field site is surrounded by truly giant stones in the walls, which local Cornish myth has it were hurled there by the giant Bolster against the devil.

Above the site is Crowan Beacon, an ancient iron/ bronze age/neolithic burial place and site of a former roundhouse, with the top of the granite strewn hill being a scheduled ancient monument. Guests have foot access to the hill and the walk up to the cairn and trigpoint is a feast of biodiversity, with heather, orchids, bluebells and anemones aplenty. The beacon is a haven for wildlife; buzzards, kestrels and cuckoos regularly frequent the site, whilst on the ground the unspoilt nature of the area provides the perfect environment for a family of fox cubs as well as several badger setts, deer are often spotted here too.

For those that seek meditation whilst the sun sets into the west there is probably no better place than the rocky outcrop at the top of the hill. On a clear evening there are fine 360 degree views across Carbis Bay towards St Ives, out across Mounts Bay and eastwards over the Roseland Peninsula.

Within a few miles of the site there is the Great Flat Lode, a circular walk/ cycle ride linking dozens of mines and featuring the highly recommended “Croust Hut” cafe. Nearby there is also Stithians Lake Watersports Centre offering paddle boarding, kayaking and various windsports in the summer months.

Being centrally located in West Cornwall the site offers good access to both the North and South Coast, with countless beauty spots, sandy beaches, quaint villages and quiet creeks all waiting to be explored.

Access is off a minor road through a gravel gateway and across the grass field. Parking is on grass with a stone edged firepit should you wish to use it.
