SITUATION Goonwinnow Farm is a cluster of beautifully converted barns and a traditional farmhouse, standing amidst rolling open countryside between the cathedral city of Truro and the rugged north coast, with the A30 less than 1.5 miles away. It is an ideal location from which to set out and about across Cornwall, lying only 6 miles or so from a number of fine surfing beaches, including Holywell Bay, Crantock, Fistral and Watergate Bay (just north of Newquay). Other popular attractions in the area include the National Trust owned Trerice, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project.
The altogether softer south coast is around 15 miles distance, with access to some of the finest day sailing waters in the country and a plethora of maritime facilities.
Truro is approximately 9 miles distance, and has an extensive range of commercial, professional, shopping and entertainment facilities. There are private schools around the City, whilst in the centre, there is a Marks and Spencer store, multi-screen cinema and the Hall for Cornwall Theatre. There is a main line railway station in Truro, linking with London Paddington, and Newquay Airport is around 20 minutes away, with numerous scheduled domestic and international flights every day.
Goonwinnow Farm is situated between the traditional villages of Mitchell and St Newlyn East, both of which have a pub. The latter also has a village store, butcher, post office, primary school, church and cricket and football clubs.
