Our story
Your Family's Cornish Escape: Unwind, Explore, and Create Lasting Memories at Macdonald's Farm
In 2020, we took the leap and bought Macdonald’s Farm, a cherished spot in the stunning North Cornwall. We’re the Brady Bunch—Nick, Lisa, Sophia, Finn, and not to forget our lively dog Jessie and our stealthy cat Shadow. Oh, and since moving in, our family has grown with quite a few more furry and feathered friends!
Though we’re not originally from Cornwall, Nick has been coming here since he was a kid, reliving those wonderful family holidays. We’ve always dreamed of living by the sea, diving into the water daily, and creating a welcoming spot where folks can come to unwind and recharge. We want to share the magic of Cornwall with you all—savour the local flavours, soak up nature, meet fantastic people, have loads of fun, and yes, fire up the BBQ every chance we get!
We’re over the moon to be part of this vibrant community and feel so fortunate that the farm offers such a unique getaway. We’ve been busy putting our personal touches on the place, making sure we preserve its original charm and character. We think we’ve crafted something truly special here.
As parents, we know the little things can make a big difference when you’re on holiday — like having clean, spacious facilities, getting a good night’s sleep, and knowing the kids can play safely while you kick back with a hot cup of coffee. We’ve poured our hearts into ensuring these are exactly what you’ll find when you visit or stay with us.
In 2020 we decided to reinvent the Farm, changing its name and upgrading all facilities and accommodation. We have spent the past 4 years dedicating time and energy into make the new Macdonalds Farm a luxurious and intimate site with high end features to ensure this becomes a place you want to come back to year after year. With the help of some incredible local friends and resources we hope you like the end results as much as we do!
Whether you’re bringing the family, escaping with your partner, adventuring with your dog, or just need some solo time, we want you to feel like part of our family. We’re always around for a chat or to hear your thoughts, continuously looking to enhance your experience with us.
We can’t wait to meet you and hope you have an incredible stay at Macdonald’s Farm.
See you soon, Nick, Lisa, Sophia, and Finn (plus Jessie and Shadow, too!)
