We had a wonderful stay at this lovely self-catering retreat. The location is fantastic — just a few miles from Porthleven, and a great garden centre which does delicious breakfast and cakes! Making The Barn perfectly placed for exploring the local area while still feeling like a peaceful escape.It’s a wonderfully quiet and relaxing retreat, yet close enough to everything you could wish for. The accommodation was clean, spacious and very comfortable, with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. We were also delighted with the lovely welcome pack, which was a really thoughtful touch and much appreciated.The hosts were absolutely lovely — friendly, welcoming and inviting, which made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble, and their warm hospitality really added to our stay.We would happily recommend this beautiful retreat and would love to return again in the future.

We enjoyed a very comfortable week in the Barn, a beautifully converted building in a peaceful setting It was equipped with everything we needed, and also fresh flowers and a welcome basket of goodies to greet us!There are lots of easily accessible beaches, views , shops, eating places nearby- lots of choice..The hosts were very friendly, helpful and we would love to return. We'd recommend the Barn highly, if you like peace and quiet and your own bit of luxury to come home to after a day in a beautiful part of Cornwall.
