Halwyn is an old Cornish farmstead, with the farmhouse believed to be around 250 years old, situated in a quiet and secluded valley on the Lizard Peninsula, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We have 3 cosy and comfortable holiday homes and Bed and Breakfast accommodation is available in the farmhouse, which is also our home. The holiday homes have been converted from an old barn and the piggery. Here you will find peace and tranquillity second to none, passing traffic is a rarity, with only the sounds of nature to break the silence. The grounds at Halwyn extend to some 2 acres and include a stream, a small lake and beautiful lawned areas as well as many unusual and beautiful sub-topical plants which grow well here with the benefit of the Gulf Stream.The weather in this part of Cornwall is milder than the rest of the country, so a holiday in spring, autumn or even winter can be a very pleasant experience.
