Mugwell Barn is highly praised for its peaceful and beautiful setting, with guests consistently mentioning the cleanliness, comfort, and well-equipped nature of the property.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently describe the property as 'wonderfully clean', 'super clean', and 'very well equipped', indicating a high standard of cleanliness that contributes to the overall positive experience.

The location is celebrated for its tranquillity and beautiful views, with easy access to both the north and south coasts of Cornwall. However, some guests noted the narrow roads and the importance of following detailed directions to the property.

Numerous reviews highlight the comfort of Mugwell Barn, mentioning it as 'comfortable', 'cosy', and 'a home from home'. The underfloor heating and log burner are appreciated, although one guest mentioned the property could get quite warm.

The barn is repeatedly noted as well-equipped and maintained to a high standard. Guests appreciated the USB points, free WiFi, and the field for dogs. A minor suggestion was made for more space to air laundry.

The hosts' thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests delighted by welcome packs that often include scones, wine, and other goodies. While these gifts are warmly received, it is politely noted that such extras, while common, are not guaranteed.

About this property

Mugwell Barn is a single-storey detached cottage about a ten minute walk from Luckett on a 7 acre smallholding. It faces away from the friendly owner’s cottage with lovely rural views. Perfect for couples. Step from the patio through big patio doors into a spacious open-plan living/dining room and kitchen area with wood-burning stove. Throw open the folding glazed doors on a beautiful day and gaze out over uninterrupted wooded meadows, or snuggle up to the cosy fire after a bracing autumn walk. There is a super king-size zip-linked bedroom with an en suite shower-room and glazed doors to the garden. The large patio has garden furniture and you are welcome to explore the gardens which has an unfenced wildlife pond. There are home produced eggs and bacon (when available) and logs. A lovely, get-away-from-everything place.

Callington is a Cornish market town, rich in mining heritage and overlooked by Kit Hill, the highest point in the area, donated to the people of Cornwall by Prince Charles to celebrate the birth of Prince William. From the top of Kit Hill there are fabulous views across south-east Cornwall as far as Plymouth Sound.

    The welcome pack was very much appreciated and very generous. There are lots of leaflets with places to visit. We were very glad of the fan at night, as we had the most amazing weather during our stay and the barn got quite warm while we were out and about exploring. Lyn and David are the perfect hosts … helpful, friendly, but allowing you your privacy. Mugwell is a great base to explore the area, both Cornwall and Devon. We visited Tavistock, Edgcumbe, Bodmin Moor, Dartmoor as well as the coast (Polperro, Fowey, Bude) and did a few forest walks too. Some of the roads are very narrow, which added to the fun of exploring. We walked to the local pub a couple of times, the food is good, hearty food. The only thing we’d change would be a secure boundary to allow our dogs to roam about safely while we were in the barn, but there is a field close by for the dogs to be let off lead, so it wasn’t really an issue for us and we kept the dogs on long lines when we had the doors open so that they couldn’t roam too far (and so that we could relax without wondering what mischief they were up to!). We would stay at Mugwell Barn again and would definitely recommend it to anyone. Thank you for making us so welcome.

    We were met by Lyn who was very helpful and welcoming. The barn had the most amazing view and the fixtures and fittings were of a high standard. Would definitely go back again. The owner left us some welcome goodies which was a nice gesture and most appreciated

    Also, there is underfloor heating which was lovely but it tended to get very hot and humid with no window that can be opened just a bifold door to the garden. Nice view tho
