We had a great stay in Barn cottage.. The cottage is very clean, well stocked with kitchen utensils and fluffy towels - all the extras that make a trip away better. Due to its location it’s very dark and quiet at night so good for sleeping, but close enough to the A38 so that the attractions of Cornwall are within easy reach.

Barn Cottage is in a lovely location.. Peaceful and quiet, except for the occasional train on the nearby line. Karen and Barry made us feel at home, and were helpful with information on nearby facilities and places to visit. The cottage is well laid out and decorated beautifully. It was great to sit outside with a coffee and see the view over the adjacent meadow. The farmyard and railway memorabilia in the courtyard gives a nice rural touch to the surroundings. The cottage is located in central Cornwall with easy access to the coastal region north or south via the nearby A38 and A30. Highly recommended.

The cottage was beautiful.. Owners were friendly but not intrusive! The wine and milk were a lovely touch as were the 3 friendly cats. We used the cottage as a base to explore what Cornwall had to offer and we really enjoyed our week :) we can't wait to come back!

A great little conversion in a well designed and attractive courtyard to the rear of the owners property, it’s quiet, warm and comfortable.. I felt perfectly safe there on my own. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and they went out of their way to ensure I got the best out of my stay, Barn cottage is brilliantly located for easy access to the whole of Cornwall and I would recommend this cottage and would go back myself. The directions provided were very accurate and I found the property really easily. I did notice the trains but I think that’s because I live in the country and am not used to the noise, it wasn’t intrusive. A brilliant little cottage that’s just a perfect retreat after a busy day sight seeing.

Excellent base for exploring the area and visiting attractions such as the Eden Project and the beautiful towns of Looe, Polperro and Fowey.. The owners of the property have thought of everything and there was nothing that we needed that they had not already thought to provide. Excellent cottage and the best facilities we have had by far.

Jendy Sutton

The cottage was extremely comfortable and every detail was thought of, including salt & pepper, tea towels etc etc. The owners were extremely pleasant and we were made to feel welcome and at home. Our every need was thought of. The cottage was in a lovely tranquil spot and very quiet. The only down side was it was placed an extremely long way for any sort of evening entertainment. There was a local pub but if you walked there it was up very dark narrow lanes. We are used to going out in the evening but found it very hard to do this with one person having to drive and cabs into Looe and back each night would have been very expensive.

A wonderful get-away from it all, quiet location, but not remote from the areas many natural attractions. Any worries about 'train noise' are totally unnecessary - nothing disturbed our peace! So many 'extras' provided from books, DVD's and games, to street maps, weather forcasts and even TV guide - we soon realised we'd packed too much! We're sorry to leave!
