The Old Barn
Description
The Old Barn, an appealing four-bedroom holiday home is located in a tiny hamlet close to the picturesque town of St Just, Cornwall.
Benefitting from off-road parking, an enclosed garden and close proximity to the local amenities, The Old Barn welcomes eight guests, perfect for a large family or group of friends looking to get away from it all and escape to the Cornish countryside.
After unloading your personal belongings, kick back and relax in the rustic sitting room, complete with woodburning stove so you can truly make the most of the cooler evenings.
Allow the budding chef of the group to rustle up a delicious home-cooked meal in the well-equipped kitchen, before settling down at the dining table to tuck in over a cold glass of wine; or alternatively if the weather permits, venture outside to one of two patio areas where you can marvel at your surroundings a little while longer or grill a feast on the barbecue during summer months.
When the sun sets in the distance, escape back inside to wash away the day in either the ground-floor shower room or bathroom on the first floor, indulging in a long soak as you get stuck into a good book.
Choose from four elegantly-finished bedrooms when sleep calls, comprising of a double bed with its own en-suite facilities, a double, twin and a single room with a handy trundle, each offering a sumptuous haven to catch up on sleep.
In the morning, kickstart your adventures with a visit to the Botallack Mine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located just outside of St just, where you can walk along the rugged coastal path and soak in magnificent views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Visit Sennen Cove, a beautiful sandy beach well known for surfing, perfect for those looking to try their hand at some watersports; venture to St Michael’s Mount, a tidal island located near Marizion or enjoy a scenic drive to Land’s End, the westernmost point of mainland England.
Lace up your walking boots and head out on a section of the South West Coast Path, admiring the cliffs, hidden coves and coastal views along the way or discover the rugged beauty of the West Penwith Moors.

What guests are saying
A lovely quiet property with fabulous views.
We enjoyed our stay very much, and was pleased with the level of service offered by the housekeeping team.
We had a pleasant stay at the Old Barn holiday cottage, which is ideally located for spending time near Sennen Cove.
Having stayed here last year, we were particularly disappointed to notice a significant decline in the overall condition and upkeep of the property since our previous visit. Inside the cottage, all of the lounge furniture was very uncomfortable and clearly in need of replacement. The single-bed mattresses were all also quite uncomfortable and could also do with being replaced. We found several chipped glasses and quite a few dirty pots and dishes in the cupboards, which meant we had to put them through the dishwasher before we could use them. There were also several large, established cobwebs throughout the property. We noticed broken taps, as well as paint flaking from the walls in the downstairs toilet, adding to the overall impression that the property was in need of some attention. When we came to use the BBQ, we found it dirty and still containing leftover food from previous guests, which was disappointing. The location remains one of the property’s biggest strengths. However, compared with our stay last year, the decline in condition, cleanliness and general upkeep was very noticeable. Addressing the general maintenance issues would make a significant difference and help restore the standard we experienced on our previous visit.
We had a lovely stay at the Old Barn holiday cottage, and it's in a great location for exploring St Just and the surrounding area.
Unfortunately, there were a few issues that affected our stay. The access road to the property is very narrow, steep and appears to be a man-made track. The overgrown hedges scratched the sides of our car, and there is a large pothole at the entrance to the driveway, which made both arriving and leaving quite difficult. Inside the cottage, the lounge seating was very uncomfortable and is in need of replacement. The en-suite shower was blocked with hair and needed cleaning before we could use it, which was disappointing. We also noticed a few areas around the property that would benefit from some general maintenance. Overall, the location is the property's biggest strength, but addressing these maintenance and access issues would make for a much better experience for future guests.
