About Carclaze

Carclaze Farm is surrounded by farmland, just outside the beautiful Cornish village of Chapel Amble. The spectacular North Cornwall coastline - with its sandy beaches, fishing villages and dramatic cliffs - is only a ten minute drive away, whilst Bodmin Moor, some of Cornwall’s finest National Trust houses, the Eden Project and numerous renowned eateries - such as Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant and Jamie Oliver's Fifteen - are also close by.

Carclaze Farm is set within four acres of grounds incorporating an outdoor children’s adventure play area, indoor games room and a farmhouse paddock where guests are invited each day to collect eggs and participate in the morning feed of the chickens, ducks, geese, goats and sheep.

In 1985, Allen and Jean purchased the property and spent a number of years faithfully renovating and restoring the outbuildings – including a grain store and dairy - into four unique self-catering cottages.  Allen and Jean live in the adjacent farmhouse and continue to personally run, maintain and manage Carclaze Farm today.

Carclaze Farm dates from around the 15th century when it formed part of the Duchy of Cornwall.  In 1954, during its time as a working Duchy farm, the property was visited by Princess Margaret and the Queen Mother (when a new toilet was installed especially for the occasion!).
