Do I have to be vegan to stay at Haye Cornwall?
You don’t have to be vegan to stay here! In fact, we welcome omnivores and vegetarians who are vegan-curious and would like to know more about animals, or those who think maybe a plant-based lifestyle could work for them. What better way to start than on a relaxing holiday surrounded by animals where all profits go towards their care.
We just ask that out of respect for our resident animals, you don’t bring animal products on site please.
We’re happy to suggest plant based options for your favourite foods and to answer any questions you have about veganism
Can I help with the animals?
Of course! We look forward to introducing you to our rescue pig, donkeys, ponies, chickens, and sheep.
All interactions are led by the animals – they’re never forced into spending time with guests or to take part in activities. Some days they might be interested in being scratched and others they might be more into eating the plants you’ve foraged for them. We’ll guide you on how to understand their language and give them the experience they want.
What time is check in/out and what time do the retreats start/finish?
If you’re coming to Haye Cornwall for a private holiday in the cottage, you’re welcome to arrive from 3:00pm on your first day; check out is at 10:00am on your last.
If you’re joining one of our vegan wellness weekends or events, you are welcome to join us from 3:00pm on the first day, and check out is at 12.00 lunchtime on the last.
Can I bring my dog?
Much as we would love to meet your pooch, our resident animals would be a lot less enthusiastic, so please leave your dog with their favourite sitter when you visit.
Does the cottage have step-free access
Yes, there is a step-free access by walking around the cottage and coming in the other side via a sloped gravel path. We have a ground floor bathroom and bedroom, and meeting the animals is all on one level.
Can I camp or park my van at Haye Cornwall?
We rely on people staying in the cottage or joining one of our vegan wellness retreats to be able to support the rescue pig, sheep, chickens, donkeys, and ponies who live here, so if you’d like to visit, these are the best ways to support us.
Can I volunteer at Haye Cornwall?
At the moment we provide paid work for local people and work experience for Duchy College students.
I’m only one person, do you have just a room I can stay in?
At the moment we can only offer the cottage, which sleeps up to 6. We don’t mind if you have it all to yourself though! And you don’t have to come as a group of 6 – any number between 1 and 6 is absolutely fine!
If you’re travelling solo, you might prefer to join one of our organised holidays – you can see more here.
Are children welcome at Haye Cornwall?
Absolutely! We love introducing children to the animals and showing how we care for them and a private holiday in the cottage is a perfect family break , with lots of opportunities to spend time with the animals, explore our land, jump on the trampoline, or just use us as a base to see the rest of this lovely part of Cornwall.
At the moment, our vegan wellness retreats and organised breaks are suitable for over-18s.
Can I visit just for a day?
