The barn was in the middle of nowhere and therefore immediately we felt very relaxed. The barn is very spacious and had 2 bathrooms, 1 smaller next to the downstairs room amd the other had a shower and a bathtub which was lovely to read in on a cloudy afternoon. We spent most of our time eating, drinking and chatting around the large dining table, the kitchen area is very spacious and has everything you could need. We were very pleased with the dvds the owners left for us to watch too. There are some nice coves nearby, the lizard point is a lovely walk and you can spot some seals. We also saw 2 snakes in the bushes on our travels, they were very tranquil too. There is a lot of nature around the area and it is completely rugged and unspoilt. We went for walks around the countryside everyday. Overall we had a nice stay.

On arrival, we were welcomed by Sandra who wanted to get the fires lit before we arrived. What a lovely feel the place had and we felt relaxed immediately. With two log fires burning, so much room downstairs to share and a wonderful little kitchen area, we found ourselves making the most of our little break. Alfie, our golden retriever enjoyed roaming around the open plan area. The location was also excellent - only a few minutes from Kennack Sands or the Lizard, we didn't have to go far to see beautiful beaches and coastal walks.

We had a fantastic stay at Barn Cottage. The owners were very welcoming to all members of our family, we travelled with a 2.5yr old and a 5 week old baby! The cottage is surrounded by beautiful grounds in which we were allowed to wander. We were able to walk into the fields to meet the cows, wander around the farmland with the chickens and explore the woodland. On one occasion our little one was even allowed to help collect the eggs from the hen house :) The eggs are avaliable to purchase and are delicious! The cottage has all basic amenities to ensure a comfortable stay. We quickly got used to using the log burners and logs were readily avaliable to purchase from the owners. The cottage was spotless on our arrival and includes a washing machine and dishwasher which are very handy with little ones around. We would however suggest that the owners provide a clothes airer. The weather was just a little too cold and windy to hang the washing on the line in the barn! The bedrooms were all very spacious and include great storage for clothes. The beds were comfortable and had beautiful quilts for the cold nights. The lounge and dining areas are huge and plenty adequate enough for the 5 adults and 2 children we had. There is lots of seating in the lounge but some of it is a little uncomfortable when settling down for a cold evening in front of the tv!! There are 2 big supermarkets within a short drive from the cottage, we however, ordered our shopping to be delivered before we arrived and the owners were even kind enough to pack it all away into the cupboards for us :) Whilst on our visit to cornwall we were able to visit Kynance Cove, Mullion Cove, Cadgwith Cove, The Lizard and Kennack Sands. All within a 10 minute drive from the cottage and worth a visit whatever the weather. We also visited Lands End, Truro, St Ives and Trebah Gardens all within a 45 minute drive from the cottage. The owners provide plenty of information about places to visit when in Cornwall and were always around to answer any questions. We were super impressed with Barn Cottage and loved how welcome we were made to feel every day of our holiday. We would love to return next year.
