Higher Laity Farm
Situated one mile from the old Mining Port of Portreath on the North Coast of Cornwall with it's rugged, breathtaking and unspoilt scenery, Higher Laity is a working farm with an organic suckler herd of South Devon cattle, all naturally reared on our 60 acres of grassland. Our cottages, which were renovated in 2003 offer the perfect holiday accommodation solution for your holidays in Cornwall.
The proximity of Higher Laity Farm to the A30 makes it an ideal base to explore Cornwall. The cathedral City of Truro is just 8 miles away and offers excellent shopping and nightlife.

Our barns have been tastefully converted with their own unique character. Exposed wooden beams and pine floors in some of the cottages, together with the high standard of furnishings throughout, adds to the quiet, country feel. The wood-effect country stoves bring their own special warmth and welcoming effect, to create a relaxing atmosphere.

Our Location...
The area of Portreath offers a perfect setting for your holidays in Cornwall. The farm is ideally situated to take advantage of both the spectacular North Coast and the surrounding countryside, being within easy reach of the great beaches of Portreath and Porthtowan, which like many inlets on this northern coast are very popular with surfers.
We are ideally placed for those wishing to explore on foot, with the recent upgrading of The Mineral Tramways Coast to Coast path, which retraces the routes used in transporting tin from the mines around Chacewater to the busy port of Portreath. The beach at Portreath is on the popular South West Coastal Path, which boasts a rugged coastline like no other, together with spectacular, breathtaking scenery. Jackdaws, birds of prey and seagulls nest in the rough cliff faces near the beach, and cormorants, grey seals, dolphins and even whales may also be seen.
A few minutes drive away is Tehidy Country Park, a tranquil 250 acre site of woodland, lakes, footpaths and cycle trails (we can offer bike hire from the premises) as well as an impressive golf course.
Locally Portreath offers a selection of shops, restaurants and pubs. Local attractions include go-karting, bowling and an indoor swimming pool.
