| Caerhays A one bedroom apartment (can sleep 2) |
 |
Caerhays is a spacious comfortable one-bedroom apartment with a double bedroom, benefiting from oil fired central heating. There is a kitchen, bathroom with shower over the bath and a lounge that looks out onto the east garden and catches the morning sun. The apartment is on the ground floor. It has a separate entrance from the courtyard car park (up two steps) and has immediate access to the gardens.
| Daymer One or two bedroom apartment (can sleep 2 or 4) |
 |
 |
Daymer is a marvellous one or two bedroom apartment, accessed off the first floor landing. It has a double bedroom and an optional bedroom with twin singles. The lounge and bedrooms benefit from superb views over the south garden, swimming pool, village and valley beyond. The double bedroom is dual aspect with a second window facing west, catching the evening sunset. The apartment was formed from what was the Ladies Bedroom and what might have been a Bathroom or a Receiving Room (a Boudoir). The kitchen and bathroom fill the space previously occupied by the very grand, central staircase and the entrance hall is a part of the gallery that used to surround this large open well, lit by a very large skylight (or clerestory).
| Epphaven A two or three bedroom apartment (can sleep from 4 to 8) |
 |
Epphaven is reached from the first floor landing and has two spacious bedrooms; one double and one with twin singles that can accommodate an extra two single beds. The bathroom, living room and double bedroom all have windows overlooking the western part of the garden with its beautiful views to the valley beyond. The apartment catches the afternoon and early evening sun, with the living room overlooking the garden through the leaves of a magnificent Wisteria that in most years blooms extravagantly and fills the room with its scent through late May and early June. The apartment is formed from what were originally the children’s Nursery and their bedrooms. The size of the two bedrooms reflects this - during the 1840’s the Reverend Buller’s family managed to fill these rooms with 7 children.
Epphaven as a three bedroom apartment combines the normal 2 bedroom apartment as described above, with Gorran. You will thus enjoy the extra benefits of two bathrooms, lounges and a spare kitchen. The two apartments are joined through the twin bedroom in Epphaven and the double bedroom in Gorran.
| Fowey A two or three bedroom apartment (can sleep 4 or 6) |
 |
Fowey is a large apartment off the first floor landing. It has the opportunity of a third bedroom
with twin beds, making it large enough for at least six people. The double
and twin bedroom have windows overlooking the attractive east garden
and catch the morning sun. The living room is dual aspect, looking across
the east lawn and with outstanding views over the south terrace to
the village and valley beyond. The third
bedroom also has this southern view. The apartment is formed
from what was the Master’s Bedroom (the current Living Room) and two Guest
Rooms (one of which was almost certainly used by William Makepeace
Thackeray – the writer and satirist who wrote Vanity Fair.
Gorran
A one bedroom apartment (can sleep 2)
Gorran is a one bedroom apartment off the first floor landing and a strong favourite with many regular guests. The lounge has a lovely aspect across the east garden, and is beautiful in the early morning sunshine. The apartment is formed from a Guest bedroom (the Living Room) and the Nanny’s bedroom (the current bedroom). This room linked to the Children’s Nursery by the door at the rear of the bedroom. This door is locked unless the apartment links to Epphaven as a 3-bedroom option. A number of our friends and relatives have stayed in this apartment and always comment on how warm and friendly it is – perhaps it has soaked up years and years of the original children’s happiness.
Heligan
A two bedroom apartment (can sleep 5)
Heligan is a large two-bedroom apartment on the second floor. It is full of character and enjoys extensive views to the south and west over the valley and toward the coast. An extra 14 steps to climb – but on a clear day you can see for miles! The apartment has one double bedroom and one bedroom with twin beds. There is also a pull-out single bed in the living room. Although extended in modern times the apartment was always the domain of the housekeeper - who would have enjoyed the status that came from living in the main house; reinforcing her position of superiority over the other staff living above the Coach House and Stables.
