Hello, we are Louise and Damian Orton. We are loving being the owners and managers at Kernock Cottages, in south east Cornwall. Our successful careers have been focused on delivering service to others, solving problems with innovation, and doing our best for our ‘customers’. Running Kernock gives us this same fulfilment and joy, and our outlook is simple – let’s give our guests the best possible holiday experience. We are Cornwall's Dog Friendly Business of the Year 20 25/26 and runners up in the Regenerative Tourism Category 2025/26. We have an excellent team who assist us, and their emotional buy-in to our customer service is unquestionable. We have 3 grown children who love to help when they can. There’s also our cockapoo Jaffa – who features regularly in our publicity. The beauty of Kernock is that you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but everything is within easy reach (we even have a Waitrose 4 miles away!). All within less than 10 miles are the beach, the moors, and Plymouth. There is lots to do locally too, or just stay at home and watch the buzzards soar over the valley from your hot tub! We would love to see you at Kernock whether for the first time or a repeat visit. Louise and Damian

The Roost (5* Gold) – Sleeps 10. A great solution for bigger groups. Owl Barn and Tree Barn are next door to each other, separated by a small knot garden, and are away from the other cottages. Book both together to sleep 10 of you in 5 bedrooms (all ensuite) plus cots. The dining table in Owl Barn seats 10 enabling the whole group to eat together.

The Kernock estate lies in South East Cornwall, England, in the Lyner Valley on the edge of the beautiful Tamar Valley (featured on BBC Countryfile), between Dartmoor National Park, Bodmin Moor and the Rame Peninsula (known as Cornwall’s forgotten south east coastal corner). With fabulous moorland, country parks, beaches and unspoilt coastal towns, in addition to the glorious South West Coast Path, guests are spoilt for choice within the area.
