Merlin Farm is the ideal base for those seeking a slower paced holiday, far from the hustle and bustle on the North Cornwall Coast. Our four holiday cottages blend rustic charm with coastal style, tucked away in serene countryside yet within walking distance of the beautiful sandy beach at Mawgan Porth and its friendly village amenities. Overlooking the picturesque Vale of Lanherne, the farm offers a true sense of 'being away from it all' with an abundance of wildlife thriving in its tranquil setting. From your doorstep you can explore miles of coastal, countryside and woodland trails, and on clear nights marvel at the breathtaking dark skies above.
With five beaches within five miles, it’s easy to enjoy a different stretch of sand each day of the week. Mawgan Porth itself boasts plenty to see and do, along with excellent places to eat. Nearby Watergate Bay offers an expansive beach, water sports and more dining options, while the charming fishing town of Padstow is home to renowned restaurants by Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth.
For added indulgence, you can enjoy spa treatments in the comfort of your own cottage or visit a day spa nearby. With our central location every corner of Cornwall is within reach for a day trip, making Merlin Farm the perfect base for both relaxation and adventure.

Sustainable by Nature
We’re proud to be a sustainable site. All our cottages are powered by renewable energy from 216 solar PV panels in our south-facing field, with water heated by the sun. Our Eco Cottages use underfloor heating powered by a ground source heat pump, and their excellent insulation maximises energy efficiency. The cathedral-style windows often allow them to be warmed by passive solar alone.
Electrical Vehicle Charging
1 x TESLA 7KW Destination Charger
1 x 7KW Type 2 Charger
Guests staying at Merlin Farm Holiday Cottages receive complimentary daytime charging from our large Solar PV array between 10am and 5pm.
There is also an additional Podpoint charger available to use 24 hours costing *35p per KWh - you will need a Podpoint account/app to use (*subject to change).

In the interest of electrical safety guests are prohibited from charging electric cars using a domestic 3-pin circuit from inside the cottages.
