THE OLD DEER HOUSE

formerly at Cabilla Manor

Robin & Louella Hanbury-Tenison have handed over Cabilla Manor to their son Merlin and his wife Lizzie  and have built themselves a lovely new house close by. 

Right in the heart of Poldark country on the edge of Bodmin Moor, this is a working farm surrounded by acres of ancient woodland and open moorland. There are horses, Highland cattle and sheep. The farm is currently being re-wilded to make the environment even more enchanting. Walks through the woods, across Bodmin Moor and along many footpaths are all close by.

Half an hour's drive from both north and south coasts, spectacular Cornish beaches, fishing villages and many famous gardens, including the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the astonishing Eden Project are easily reached.

The Old Deer House is an exciting contemporary building with glorious views over the countryside. There are two attractive double bedrooms for bed and breakfast guests.  One has a Four Poster double bed and the other double can be made into a twin.  Both bedrooms have en suite bathrooms with both shower and bath.

ABOUT ROBIN
AND LOUELLA

Louella and Robin

The new home of explorer Robin and his wife Louella, who has been all over the world with him, The Old Deer House, is full of books he has written and interesting artefacts brought back from their travels.

Their home is beautifully decorated and furnished and guests are looked after wonderfully.

You will receive a warm welcome; tea on arrival, drinks, and we are happy to book you a table somewhere local for supper.

WHAT OUR FANTASTIC GUESTS SAY

Juxhin

We only stayed for a night and could not help but be impressed by the way that Luella and Robin made guests feel like part of their home and life in their amazing manor.
They are very interesting characters with plenty of traveller stories to tell, including a great one about Albania (I might be biased on this!).

If you decide to visit Cornwall this is the perfect destination and you're in for a very unique experience!

Our Gold Standard of B & Bs. Louella and Robin are very interesting people.  We were offered tea upon arrival. Some hosts give you tea and disappear, but Louella sat down with us to get acquainted. She will call for dinner reservations, then arm you with a map of how to get there, and perhaps a different way back to Cabilla.

Her cooked breakfasts are first-rate, made better because she and Robin will sit and visit over the meal.
