STAY | An Skiber, Constantine Down a quiet lane on the edge of the pretty village of Constantine in south Cornwall, sits An Skiber, a beautiful barn conversion surrounded by its own private garden. Constantine itself is on the edge of the Helford’s breathtaking Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and only minutes from the enchanting Helford river. Studded with quiet creeks, the river is home to a multitude of sailing clubs, kayak and small boat hire, with plenty of fishing spots for catching your supper. The area is also famed for its sub-tropical gardens, including Trebah and Glendurgan, where plants usually found in warmer climates thrive. An Skiber’s garden shares the same inspiration, with spring bringing dashes of colour from azalea, rhododendron and camellia, whilst summer is heralded by the flourishing of the ama ing Chilean fire bush, gunnera and soothing tree ferns. What’s more, clever use of reverse levels mean that the sun-trap garden is easy to access, whether you’re upstairs or down. Inside, the barn has been sensitively transformed, providing easy-going accommodation for six across three bedrooms. The open-plan living area invites relaxation, leading to a rooftop terrace which is just the spot for a bottle of something chilled beneath the evening sun. It’s perfect for a spot of al fresco dining too, especially thanks to the generous kitchen, which, boasting an Aga as well as conventional cooking facilities, has everything a budding chef needs to cook up a storm.
