Nestled in a timeless leafy hamlet amongst lush rolling fields at the top of the Porthallow valley you will find The Hen House, just a mile from the sea A tranquil oasis of peace,relaxation and bird song set in two acres of private grounds Here you will discover:
A secluded wild flower meadow - a perfect place for our fun informal tai-chi workshops, basking on the sun loungers or gazing at the myriad of stars at night
| Our wild pond edged with arum lilies and full of all kinds of toads,frogs,newst and dragonflies.A perfect shaded place to sit and watch the boats of the Fal estuary and St.Mawes making their way through the blue waters around Pendennis point |  |
A courtyard patio which each of our guest rooms opens onto, lit with fairy lights at night. After a fine dinner in one of the many local restaurants and pubs we will recommend complete your evening here and share traveller's tales with other guests, warmed by the chiminea and a glass of wine at the end of the day's exploration of this magical peninsula
Your hosts,Sandy & Gary settled here three years ago having "escaped" from the Thames Valley.Gary's career B.C. (Before Cornwall) was as a licensed engineer for British Airways at Heathrow,having learnt his trade in the R.A.F.His daily commute now,a few yards up to the best view on the peninsula beats the M4 any day!To relax he volunteers with Coastwatch and "treads the boards" with The Gweek Players.
Sandys career B.C. was as an area manager for a large catering company covering several counties.She then enjoyed a fascinating couple of years working for the National Trust at The Vyne in Hampshire with a re-mit of marketing, weddings and summer events.Her "spare" time is spent between the local tourism association,the W.I. and theatrical productions.In the winter months she inspires other businesses to be greener by teaching a Btech in sustainable tourism as outreach training from Cornwall college

Hen House Happenings
# We have just won a Silver Sustainable Tourism Award for Cornwall and short-listed in the final 5 in the Sustainable tourism awards for the south west of England
# Over the winter months we have extended the main Hen House barn (where B & B room Puno and our therapy room is on the ground floor) to give us a as much living space as we provide for the guests and a spare bedroom so family can visit even in the summer.Rest assured the normal peace and tranquility will return here by Easter
# A lovely gently sloping path now winds to the meadow from the garden to replace the steeper slop and steps that are there no more
