“The barn was beautiful and just as described.”
Very clean and had everything that we needed. The beds were very comfortable and all 5 of us had great nights sleeps.

The location was outstanding- set in beautiful countryside which we spent many hours exploring with the dog. The streams, woods, pond and fields were a joy and were beautifully looked after.
The swimming pool was a real highlight of the stay for us and our young children who would have spent all day in there if they could. Meticulously clean and invitingly warm. We didn’t make use of the gym or sauna but they too looked brilliant.
The barns location was a tourists dream, although it felt remote and in the heart of the countryside, it was in fact only a short hop to a host of wonderful Cornish gems. Padstow via the ferry from Rock, port Isaac, Boscastle, Tintagel we’re just some of the places we enjoyed visiting, beautiful places to visit, shop and eat!
The only down side of the barn for us was the garden. We found it to be not at all dog secure. We understand that dogs should not be left outside unattended, however there were several places where our inquisitive, medium sized dog was able to leave the garden with ease. With livestock and other dogs in close proximity this could have been an issue if our dog had decided to make use of the escape routes. This meant that we were unable to feel relaxed in the garden and enjoy the lovely weather that we had. We solved one of the escape routes by purchasing some wind breaks and blocking the large gap in the fencing. But the fencing at the top end of the garden needs some thinking about.
Over all, we had a wonderful stay and thoroughly enjoyed our time at the barn, the garden was a shame and maybe something to think about if you are considering staying there with a dog over the summer.
We are really glad you enjoyed your stay and thanks for pointing out the weakness in the fencing, we have strengthened our defences in that area! See you next year. Property Owner
