Other things to note

Dating back to the mid 1700’s, Tawnawood and the other barns have been lovingly converted using elm and oak from the surrounding woods. They offer a rustic, quirky and charming interior. Each barn is unique and is full of interesting architectural features making the interiors appealing and offer a lovely, warm, welcoming ambience. Surrounded by pleasantly landscaped gardens and wonderful valley views from their own patios, they are ideal for couples looking for a perfect hideaway and for families seeking a secluded spot away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

For the safety and enjoyment of all our guests, please note that we do not allow smoking and vaping in the properties or anywhere on site.

Wines

Cornwall’s emergence as a noteworthy wine-producing region has been a vinous triumph.

The soon-to-come on-site cellar at Tawnamoor will feature a selection of locally sourced wines that capture the essence of Cornwall’s terroir.

Vineyards such as Camel Valley and Knightor Winery have garnered acclaim for their sparkling wines, crisp whites, and robust reds.

Guests will be able to indulge in the effervescence of Cornwall’s sparkling offerings or savour the nuanced profiles of wines nurtured under the southwestern sun.

Beers and Ales

The Cornish brewing scene is a dynamic tapestry of creativity, and Tawnamoor’s cellar will ensure a frothy exploration of local brews.

Cornwall’s breweries offer a spectrum of choices from traditional ales to contemporary craft beers. Iconic names like St Austell Brewery and Skinner’s Brewery, which will allow guests to sample beers that mirror the diverse Cornish landscape. 

Spirits

Tawnamoor will be a haven for aficionados of craft spirits, where Cornwall’s distilleries take centre stage.

Embracing the spirit of innovation, Cornish distillers have crafted gins, rums, and vodkas that embody the region’s maritime heritage.

Tarquin’s Cornish Gin, distilled with botanicals foraged along the coastline, and the velvety Cornish spiced rums from Dead Man’s Fingers are just a glimpse into the spirited offerings.
