Come and enjoy a stay on my farm. Deep in the West country on the Devon/Cornwall border, you can book a stay in the delightful ‘Scarlett’s barn’ (named after my daughter) – and featured on Channel 4’s ‘Young Black Farmers’ series where it was the picturesque base for the first The Black Farmer Rural Scholarship.

I came across West Kitcham Farm on a family holiday 10 years ago and it was love at first sight. In the same family for generations, the house was badly run down and in much need of restoration and a lot of TLC. Having restored the main farmhouse, I started on the traditional stone barns. Scarlett’s barn was first to be renovated as it was in very poor condition. Now beautifully appointed and boasting some of the finest views across the rolling hills of Devon and Cornwall, it nestles in pure tranquility making it the perfect place for a peaceful break.

The ancient town of Launceston lies just five miles away and is the historic gateway to Cornwall and features an 11th Century Norman Castle which you can see from the barn, Georgian houses and 16th Century church.

The local rivers yield fantastic coarse and trout fishing and the Tamar Otter Sanctuary is nearby. The Atlantic coastal towns of Bude and Newquay offer fantastic opportunities for surfing, sandy beaches and spectacular coastal walkways. The famous Eden Project is just half an hour’s drive.
