Mount Pleasant Farm was re-built in the 1970's retaining part of the 18th century cottage. Situated in typical rural Cornish countryside, its location is quiet and peaceful with fine views over traditional stone walled fields to the sea beyond. The spectacular cliffs and South Cornish coastline featuring some of the finest sandy beaches in Cornwall are just a mile away.

The garden

You are welcome to wander in the garden where you can meet our ducks and hens. We keep these along with bees and our two cats. We always aim to be environmentally friendly. We are also developing half an acre of organic vegetable plots to grow our own organic food.

Come and enjoy our vegetarian and vegan breakfasts, or alternatively our traditional English breakfasts with free range products. Special diets are catered for with prior notice e.g. hay diet, raw foods and gluten free. A full range of herbal teas and other alternative beverages are also on offer. A substantial and wholesome vegetarian/vegan one course supper using organic ingredients is usually available subject to a minimum notice of 12 hrs. Adults £8.50, children 5 - 12 years £6.75 and under 5 years £5.25.

On the eastern edge of the Roseland peninsula and just a mile from the coastal footpath, Mount Pleasant Farm offers an excellent base for walks through stunning scenery. Sections of the coastal path are owned by the National Trust, which includes the promontory headland of Dodman Point. These pathways allow you to see the traditional farming methods still followed today and the wildlife havens they have formed.

Three lovely unspoilt beaches are near by. Ideal for children, Porthlune beach is only one mile away. It is our nearest beach and has easy access by car. The back drop of the picturesque Caerhays Castle completes the scene. Probably one of the best beaches in Cornwall is Vault beach, a mile of unspoilt silvery sand. Another excellent beach is Hemmick with its sheltered coves, sandy beaches and crystal clear rock pools. Both are no further than three miles away.

You will find within two miles our nearest villages of Gorran Churchtown and Gorran Haven with shops, post offices and pubs. Gorran Haven has some old fishermen's cottages, a secluded cove and a little harbour, a haven for the fishermen of old. It has two lovely beaches and good parking facilities.
Five miles along the coast is the working fishing village of Mevagissey with its narrow streets and historic harbour.
The famous gardens of Heligan are only three miles away. It is a magical place with a long history, now restored to its former glory.
The Eden Project, a botanic arc nestling in the Bodelva china clay pit is near by at St Austell and well worth a visit. A little to the west of us on the Roseland peninsula is the picturesque fishing village of Portloe, the pretty village of Veryan with its round houses and the Church of St Just in Roseland in its tranquil creek.

Mount Pleasant Farm is Cornish Tourist Board approved, and the proprietors are vegetarian. Please contact us for details of special yoga weekends, complementary therapies, and special rates for vegetarians and vegans.
