About Us
Boturnell Farm is reputed to have been mentioned in the Doomsday Book. There certainly was a priest called Simon de Boturnell in the thirteenth century. There has been some modernisation since his time! The farm is set in 25 acres, all of which is accessible to our visitors.
The Boturnell Team
Boturnell Barns is a small family run business
Sue Jewell proprietor
Sue has owned Boturnell Barns since 1999, and is a qualified animal behaviourist. She has been involved with animal rescue for many years, hence why most of our animals and birds are either rescued or home bred.
Teej Jewell manager
Teej is Sue's son, and has been brought up surrounded by animals. He has a lot of experience with the rescue side and also the farming side. They have been in partnership since 2013, and he is definitely the practical one! Teej is responsible for the beautiful conversion of our former chicken house into Chy Yar, our lovely 3 bedroom cottage.
The original barns have been tastefully converted to provide you with holiday accommodation, using natural materials such as old pine, local stone and slate. This adds to the wonderful atmosphere. Great care has been taken to provide accommodation that is both comfortable and full of character with decor and furnishings that are predominately antique and country. The cottages have double glazed windows, exposed beams and stained glass. We are great believers in conservation and have embarked on a long term improvement project on the property, including the planting of broadleaf woodland and hedges.
St Pinnock is a small village in the Cornish countryside. It is said to have been a refuge for rebel soldiers in the time of the Civil War. It is situated near the historic market town of Liskeard to the east and the ancient Stannary town of Lostwithiel on the river Fowey to the West. Larger towns, such as St Austell and Plymouth are not more than 30 minutes away. We are approximately 7 miles from Looe and Polperro. Near also is the famous harbour of Charlestown, with its shipwreck museum and the ships used in many period dramas including "A Respectable Trade" and "Frenchmans Creek".
