Our latest blog post, if you'd like a quick read.

After a scorching hot and very dry June, we seem to have had an abundance of wildlife. Or maybe we're just noticing it more? Is it proof of climate change or just a pattern or trend? It seems different this year with a warmer sea, more dolphin sightings, but no barrel jellyfish yet. A white pheasant...

Wind turbine is down for a service, but we’ve raised a Cornish flag temporarily whilst it’s being sorted! See our blog for more details.

After 15 years and 120,000kWh of power generation, our small-scale (6,000 Watt) wind turbine has sadly ceased up 🙁 Over that period, we generated enough electricity to power 4,000 homes for one day, or our 3 properties for 1,300 days. The turbine was regularly maintained over that period. So toda...

A pair of nesting barn owls in the Violet nest box 😊I’m meant to be decorating, but live watching is way too distracting! 😍😍😍

Looking beautiful today, is the wonderful St Cadix, which stands on the site of an ancient Priory. Best seen from the water on a sunny day 😊

Nice way to end a changeover today, by moving a boat back to its mooring. I took a small detour via the former Sawmills Recording Studio. Accessible only by foot or boat, bands like Oasis, The Stone Roses, Supergrass, The Verve and Catatonia all recorded here. Cool.

Living in a peaceful countryside location, but also very close to the coast and the River Fowey provides us with a number of top-quality watersports providers, all within a 5 minute drive. This provides us (and our guests staying at our self-catering barn conversions) with many different opportuniti...

Our latest blog post, celebrating our wonderful willow harvest is now on our website.
https://www.breezydaze.co.uk/post/carbon-offsetting-and-staying-green

A while ago, we planted a tree for every customer that has visited since we opened in 2010. The main purpose was to try to offset some of the CO2 produced by their holiday. We planted over 100 native trees (Oak, Rowan, Hawthorn, Hazel, and Birch), which are doing extremely well. In addition, we have...

Lockdown 2.0 has brought us a swift closure, and for the rest of the year now, as we have decided to close this December. Stay safe and healthy (or "hunker down" sounds much nicer!) As for us, it's time to finish painting the other half of our house! See you in 2021.
