Our Farm

Our holiday cottages are nestled in the middle of a 320 acre working farm which appeared in the Doomsday Book.

A family business

Five generations of the Elson family have called Cargurra Farm home.

Cargurra Farm spans 320 acres, with 100 acres dedicated to barley cultivation and 220 acres for grazing beef cattle. In 1984, Gillian and Edward Elson diversified into tourism by converting a barn that once stored straw, hay, and corn. Today, the farm is run by their son Julian and his wife, Amy, who manages the holiday cottages. In 2015, they celebrated the birth of their first child, a daughter—the first female Elson in two generations. Their second child, a son, was born in 2017.

Our commitment

Sustainability for us has been our family farming the same land for five generations.

We are dedicated to securing a sustainable future by working in harmony with the environment to maintain our farm and offer unforgettable North Cornwall holidays for years to come. The 2004 Boscastle flood highlighted the need for change, driving us to lower our environmental footprint. We actively recycle, reuse, use eco-friendly cleaning products, and support local services to reduce carbon emissions. Our farming practices are focused on preserving this stunning landscape, and we welcome you to join us in making a positive impact together.
