OUR SPACIOUS EVENTS BARN

The two-story Boconnion Barn, with underfloor heating and sympathetic lighting, is the largest event space on the estate. The ground floor, with rustic beams and beautiful stone walls, provides a warm traditional atmosphere perfect for winter retreats, while the adjacent meadow makes it easy for guests to spill outside during the summer. Don’t miss the original cow stall names that still hang on the wall after first being installed over 300 years ago.

Next to the ground floor entertaining space is a professional kitchen fitted with industrial extractor fans and 5-ring gas oven. Accessible loos and a shower can also be found on the ground floor, discreetly positioned for privacy.

Upstairs, the first floor is bathed in natural light that pours in through floor-to-ceiling studio windows. There’s a wood burner for added atmosphere and warmth, and a beautiful wooden bar handcrafted from one of Boconnion’s ancient fallen oak trees.

CREATIVE & FLEXIBLE GROUP SPACES

Outdoor spaces – Take your pick of outdoor options to host retreat sessions or gatherings. Within our 150 acres of private estate, there are woodland walks, open meadows and views of uninterrupted Cornish countryside. For something more formal, each property has group dining and recreation spaces.

Woodland fire pit – Our fire pit area is yours for the duration of your boutique retreat. Comfortably seating 9 and just a short walk from all accommodation options, it adds another dimension to your itinerary. It’s the perfect spot for an autumn or winter retreat activity but can be enjoyed all year round.

Dining & catering – We have full catering facilities in Boconnion Barn, perfect for larger groups. We do not have an on-site chef but can recommend the best local talent and suppliers to suit your needs. Each property has a beautiful, modern kitchen for self-catering or private dining, as well as outdoor hosting.
