Stenhill is a working farm - Beef cattle - but is best described as a Country House.

The Farmhouse is a 500 year old Grade II* Listed Cornish Longhouse which has just undergone a complete renovation by its present owners, Phyllis and Eric Reddock.   The restoration has combined the retention of the 500 year old character with slate floors, exposed Oak beams, exposed stone walls and Granite fireplaces with the modern comforts of central heating and en-suite bedrooms.

Stenhill Farm will best suit those who appreciate quality and are looking for a quiet, relaxing and rejuvenating holiday

It is within one hours drive of Exeter, Plymouth and Newquay airports and Bristol airport is 2hours. London journey time by car or train is about 4 hours but allow more time at peak holiday periods

Stenhill is located in the South West of England some 4 miles north west of Launceston in Cornwall and borders on the Tamar Otter Park. 

Bude is only 20 minutes drive away, Widmouth Bay  15 minutes, Plymouth 40 minutes, Newquay 45 minutes, Tintagel 30 minutes, The Jamaica Inn 15 minutes and The Eden Project 45 minutes.
