Badgers Hollow

A traditional Cornish winding lane leads to the secluded but accessible setting for Badgers’ Hollow. Set in the grounds of The Old Watermill, Badgers’ Hollow is a private barn with its own drive and parking and from the graveled parking area, limestone steps lead up to a large terrace with garden furniture and stunning views over Fowey and the rolling countryside towards the sea.

Badgers’ Hollow has been converted from the old cider barns of the mill and is open plan and spacious in design. The sleeping area has k/s or twin beds and has a natural, organic feel with silk filled duvet and organic, fair-trade sheets. Guests can sleep ‘green’ and comfortable in the knowledge that the teak furniture is FSC accredited from sustainable sources and the walls are either finished in natural lime render or 100% natural based paints and lambs wool cocoons the natural oak clad exterior walls. There is a balcony leading from the bedroom which overlooks the millpond and orchard, which catches the evening summer sun, allowing guests to maybe enjoy a Cornish Camel Valley wine from our cellar whilst observing the buzzard hunting for mice in the orchard, the entertaining antics of the ducks or the tumbling waterfall when the springs are running.

The sitting area opens onto the terrace and has a modern wood burning stove for the cooler evenings. There is a satellite LCD TV and DVD player and collection of films and books
The kitchen is fully equipped with Neff appliances including a fridge/freezer, microwave, washer and dishwasher.

To balance our negative environmental impact, Badgers is powered by 100% renewable energy, solar panels heat the water and the under floor heating comes from a ground source heat pump. Any back up power is provided by green electricity. There is a rainwater harvesting system for the toilets and washer.
This barn is available on a nightly basis for self-catering or B&B with discount for 7 night stays, and please note pets are not permitted in this barn.
