LOCATION

Mountjoy Farm is situated on the outskirts of the rural hamlet of Bosoughan near Newquay, an attractive semi rural area that enjoys close proximity and easy access to the north Cornish coastline. The village is surrounded by attractive countryside and is within a short drive of several beautiful sandy beaches that front the Atlantic Ocean providing excellent surfing and bathing opportunities. The nearest village is Quintrell Downs. The town of Newquay is a short drive away providing a wide array of leisure, commercial and retail facilities, out of town trading estates and supermarkets and a beautiful coastline with the now renowned Fistral Beach being one of the popular venues on the world surf circuit. Newquay also has several primary schools, two secondary schools and a branch line railway stations that provides a link via Par to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4½ hours.

This area enjoys close proximity to the A30 which remains largely carriageway all the way to Exeter where it links with M5 to Bristol and A303 to London and in a southerly direction the A30 (Cornwall’s main arterial road) provides easy access to both the southern and western half of the county. A short drive away to the south, lies Cornwall’s capital city which provides a wide range of facilities, a popular mix of shops including strong local traders, national stores and the Hall for Cornwall which provides a wide variety of theatre musical events throughout the year.
