Perfect retreat, beautifully designed and very clean, comfortable and tidy. Could not fault. Excellent position for visiting Cornwall. Pity about the narrow roads, but that's Cornwall!

, amazing amount of birds to view on the well cared for bird-feeders that she replenishes just outside the barn, thank you for a lovely stay at your barn.

The accommodation was fantastic, with comfortable bed and very clean. The welcoming hamper was a very pleasant surprise. The barn is perfect for a touring base for Cornwall and West Devon. Be prepared for the challenging roads and lane ways, but, in our experience, the locals are very friendly and courteous, just be prepared to give way, and reverse we're necessary. I would highly recommend Brock's Barn for a relaxing holiday. Steve and Julie from Australia.
