Eine tolle Unterkunft. Alles genauso wie beschrieben. Wie können die das Cottage 'The Long Barn' uneingeschränkt empfehlen. sehe ruhig gelegen. Um die Sehenswürdigkeiten, wie z.B. St. Ives, Lands End, St. Michael's Mount (alles in der Nähe) zu besichtigen, brauct man ein Leihfz. Unsere Tipps: 1: Das kleinste Leihfz. mieten, da die Strasen oft sehr schmal sind (manchmal nur 1 Fahrzeugbreite. Wir waren zu zweit und hatten einen Fiat 500. Der war optimal und hatte Platz für unsere 2 Koffer. 2: Unbedingt einen Flug nach Newquay buchen. Kleiner Flughsfen, alles geht schnell unf unkompliziert. Von dort ist das Cottagr in 45 Minuten erreichbar. .

Comfortable and conveniently located cottage on the edge of western Cornwall. Situated on a farm in a small group of converted barns the cottage had everything you could wish for a relaxing holiday. Good walks nearby and a short drive to Penzance, Falmouth and St Ives. Recommended.

A well equipped comfortable cottage in a peaceful rural setting . An excellent location for visiting favourite coastal haunts and National Trust properties. Helpful owners on site . Shopping a drive away in Helston .
