Photoshoots at Coswarth

Overview

This sprawling shoot location in Cornwall honours its rural heritage while also evoking a sense of eclectic English grandeur. A long, tree-lined drive leads to a historic stone manor, cottage and cluster of barns. A natural colour palette of greens, soft neutrals and pale pinks imbues timeless style to interiors within the manor and neighbouring cottage, creating a versatile backdrop for creative projects. The farm outbuildings, once left to fall back to nature, have undergone a sensitive restoration, preserving their historic character while embracing a fresh new purpose. Available to hire independently or as a collective, the spaces provide a flexible canvas for creatives seeking a location rich in atmosphere.

Spaces

Set within four acres of landscaped gardens, Coswarth unfolds across lawns, a tennis court, an ivy-clad railway bridge and a grotto. The east-facing façade of the manor features an eight-light granite window dating back to the original 16th-century farmhouse. Inside, four luxurious double bedrooms with en suites and a generous country kitchen are laced with period details – from recessed sash windows to slate and tessellated tile flooring. Alongside the main house, there's a characterful one-bedroom cottage and plant-filled orangery, rustic Courtyard Barn and modern barn conversion with a bright open-plan living space and courtyard. An additional storage barn has scope to adapt with paint or wallpaper.

North Cornwall

North Cornwall is renowned for its craggy cliffs and pounding surf, but behind the beachy coast is a deep mine of ancient history. From Vogue to Poldark, the exposed clifftops cloaked in wildflowers have played backdrop to cover shoots and horseback scenes alike.
