We loved staying here! The barn was picture perfect, super cozy, very clean, well stocked and quiet. The views from the back garden were lovely and the many pheasants kept us amused! Location was great for exploring West Cornwall, the Minack theatre, St Michael’s Mount, train to St Ives and Porthleven were our favourites. Thank you to Geoff and Tonia, the very friendly owners, for the thoughtful welcoming pack. We loved staying in your barn and would definitely stay again. 😊 Jo and Chris

A tremendous cottage to relax in or use as base to travel to towns and coastal villages. Our hosts Geoff and Tonia were wonderful, very helpful in our time of need when my car broke down.I would recommend a visit to anyone thinking of travelling to Cornwall

We stayed a week at The long barn as a replacement holiday home due to our previous cottage having no electricity when we arrived.In all honesty it was like going from a hostal to a 5 star hotel. I'm so pleased the previous place (Orchard cottage) had no electricity as it was just horrendous, damp wet dog smell was emitting from the furniture.The long barn was so lovely and clean. It had everything you could need. The furniture, bedding etc are all of good quality. Plenty of extras, toilet roll, washing up liquid, laundry tablets, condiments for cooking etc.It was definitely an upgrade in comparison to the first place. It's in a lovely rural location, peaceful and quiet, having a car if staying here is a must.I would definitely recommend staying here. I have stayed in many different places and this is one I would definitely return to in the future.
