The farm is located 1.6 miles from Crackington Haven,
which is included in the best surfing beaches in England and was recommended by
the Marine Conservation Society in its Good Beach Guide. The scenery in the
beach area of the surrounding majestic cliffs is almost unrivalled. At high
tide, the beach is a mass of quartz-veined pebbles and large boulders but at
low tide, it reveals an expanse of sand and many rock pools. Only the road
separates the sea from a couple of beach shops, two superb beach cafes and a public
house with a restaurant and fantastic terrace.
The farm is
located in the parish of St. Gennys, which prides itself on the excellence of
its public paths with the National Trust owning most of the cliff and adjacent
farmland.
As you
travel down the coastline, you can visit quaint coastal villages such as
Boscastle, Tintagel and Port Isaac, the latter offering a range of fantastic
restaurants where you can enjoy the freshest and most delicious fish.
Fifteen
minutes up the coast is Bude, a popular tourist destination for both its
surfing and fantastic family beaches in Widemouth Bay. The watchful eye of the
RNLI lifeguards allows for some of the best surfing in the world alongside
swimming and a whole host of water-based activities. Bude today is a lovely
sea-side town, the main shopping streets and inter-connecting alleyways play
host to a wide range of locally owned shops, restaurants and pubs. There are
boutiques, shoes, arts & crafts, jewellery, hand-made gifts and souvenirs.
6 miles
inland is Bodmin Moor, one of Cornwall's designated Areas of Outstanding
Natural Beauty. Cornwall at its wildest and rich in ancient history, Bodmin
Moor stretches for 30 miles through the heart of the County of Cornwall and
offers spectacular walking and horse riding.
With easy
access to the both the A30 and the Atlantic Highway you can quickly travel up
and down the South-West to enjoy some of the larger tourist attractions that
Devon and Cornwall have to offer.
I just wanted you to know what a fantastic time we all had at Skyber Barn on Pencuke Farm. Kate and Chris were very welcoming, friendly and extremely helpful during our stay. The setting was beautiful and it was a lovely touch that the children were able to help on the farm feeding the animals. The Farm shop was fully stocked of their own or local produce. It was also fab having a lovely BBQ area for a lovely summers evening watching the sun set over the sea view. We really cant recommend Pencuke Farm enough. Thank you Kate and Chris.

We stayed in Skyber barn and had a lovely time. The accommodation is very spacious and the standard of cleanliness is excellent. We were greeted with a warm welcome by the owners on our arrival. We enjoyed a relaxing break with our 8 month old daughter, having sky on the tv was great for us as we stayed in most nights. The farm is in fabulous location, with easy access to all the local sights.

We stayed in Skyber Barn. It is a lovely cottage, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. So rare to find a cottage that sleeps 4 adults and 4 children. We spent a great week exploring th local area, just perfect - thank you. The boys loved the games room and we loved the peace and quiet. Thank you for the delicious scones waiting for us on arrival."
