Press information: new cottage, sleeps 10

Published October 19th, 2015

The Olde House introduces a new cottage for autumn 2015. We are offering a number of press visits to The Olde House this autumn enabling journalists to experience lambing on a Cornish farm.

The Olde House is a collection of 30 three-to-five star self-catering holiday cottages at Penpont Farm on the north coast of Cornwall.

The Manor House, which sleeps 10, was gutted and redesigned over the summer to create a spacious holiday home with a private outdoor area overlooking fields. This property was the original manor house of the village of Chapel Amble and also the home to the family in the 1970s.

The Manor House is £2,990 a week in high season and £900 in November and early December. For availability, click here.
