The sub-tropical gardens at Ednovean Farm

Garden lovers will enjoy staying at our bed and breakfast, set in the subtropical gardens overlooking the sea at Ednovean farm. This is a garden that combine formal parterres and courtyards, with sweeping open lawns to be explored and tranquil spots to sit and dream.

St Michael's Mount from Ednovean Farm

From the year 2000 we started landscaping the old farmyards to build a garden to settle our home more firmly into the Cornish landscape and to create a garden that our Bed and Breakfast guest could enjoy throughout the year.

We started in the old farmyard of Ednovean Farm to create a perfect setting for holidays for Garden lovers

The Mediterranean courtyard gardens

In 2000, the old farmyard was crafted into a series of sheltered courtyard gardens, under the guidance of the professional garden designer Ian Lowe in 2000. Now the courtyards are softened by flamboyant Date palms and fig trees encompassing a central parterre and fountain flanked by terracotta pots filled with lavender, lilies, box topiary and standard Bay trees.

The warm enclosed Mediterranean style courtyard spaces filled with the scent of herbs open out onto a terrace and lawns with sweeping sea views over Mounts Bay beyond St Michael’s Mount, with Penzance, Newlyn and Mousehole across the bay for our luxury Bed and Breakfast guests.

 The lawns and Italian Garden

The natural grassy terrace above Mounts Bay, leads in turn to the Italian garden – a series of warm enclosed lawned gardens opening from the dramatic central avenues to reveal classical statues and flamboyant Date Palms. Paths twine around the garden for our Bed and Breakfast guests to explore leading to and from a Gravel border with an exotic mix of succulents, Phormium, Palms and grasses, basking in the summer’s sun before finally meandering to four Olive Trees and a secret patio

“In fact convincing yourself that you were standing on a Tuscan Terrace or basking in the garden in Provence would take only moments if it were not for the glorious views of Cornwall, encompassing St Michael’s Mount, on the hills east of Penzance and overlooking the crescent of Mounts Bay”

With relaxing holidays for Garden lovers in mind, each bedroom of our luxury bed and Breakfast has its own terrace or courtyard filled with geraniums reached via French doors from the bedrooms,.

Throughout the garden, secret corners hold table and chairs and simple benches to invite our guests to relax.

The rhythmic murmur of the sea seems loudest in the garden combined with the occasional chimes from the church clock drifting across our fields from the village below. Isn’t the garden a perfect to spend precious moments away from the world.
