We're the Hawkey family, and Penpont Farm has been in our family for four generations since 1915.
The Hawkey Family moved to Penpont from a few miles away in 1915. Since then it's been farmed by four generations of the family.
In the 1970's, the family made the brave decision to diversify into tourism. They converted a number of stone and slate barns, which formed the old farm yard into self-catering holiday cottages.
After all the farm buildings were converted, some new cottages were built in the surrounding fields. This move created a nucleus for a business that has flourished ever since and is known as 'The Olde House'.
Self-catering cottages proved very popular as visitors enjoyed the mix of a working farm with the peace and quiet of the countryside. The farm is ideally positioned for exploring the rugged North Cornwall coastline, and is especially close to nearby Padstow, Polzeath and the Camel Estuary.
This year the Olde House is celebrating 50 years! Here are the Hawkeys in the 90's and again during our '50th Celebration week' this June.
We were awarded Holiday Park of the Year at the Cornwall Tourism Awards 2025! We couldn’t be prouder of our wonderful team. They help us deliver:
