Your unforgettable Cornish holiday

Experience the charm of the thoughtfully renovated Coach House Cottages at Cann Orchard.

Cann Orchard is set amongst a small acreage with walking paths around the orchard and meadows and an old canal path, all brimming with birds and wildlife, it’s likely you’ll want to stay put – however, beaches, quaint Cornish fishing villages and the magnificent Southwest Coast Path are all a short drive away.
