Potters Barn

Over all we had a lovely stay but a couple of things could have made it perfect .

Firstly the directions to the property could gave been a bit clearer,it would have been more helpful if suggested to turn off directly opposite the Crown Town sign ,and also it would have been useful to have been able to turn down the heat from the bathroom towel rails as they were full on the whole time which made it rather uncomfortable heat wise to sleep . ,

Simply beautiful and definitely had the ‘wow’ factor!

Attention to detail was excellent throughout the property. The quality of the furnishings, kitchen goods and appliances was very high and the welcome pack for the adults and our furry friend was most welcome. We had a wonderful holiday and would highly recommend this beautiful property. Thank you.

Beautiful cottage.

Very clean, lovely welcome pack on arrival for us, and the dog. In a lovely quiet area, but in easy reach of lots of places to go visit. All you need in the kitchen to make a meal and lovely comfortable bed. Great place to stay.

otters Barn is well equipped, warm, comfortable and spacious .

We found the garden at night in February a little difficult as the outside lighting wasn't working & there are steps to deal with. There is no outside tap so cleaning boots & dogs after muddy walks is difficult. Communication with the owner is via the Sykes app as there is no direct phone no so any questions take some time to obtain an answer. The fact that the property is on one side of a yard where the other properties are privately owned should be stated in the property description & in the photos. The condition of the yard is poor, large potholes & not much room to manoevre the car when there are several cars & vans parked there too. It is a lovely property but there are issues outside that we were not aware of until we arrived.

Lovely cottage and great location to explore the wonders of Cornwall, plus nice walks from the cottage too.

Clean and tidy and a nice welcome for us with cream tea and milk. Shame and disappointed there was no dog welcome backpack as mentioned in the write-up.

This was my second visit and wouldn’t hesitate to book it again.

The cottage is beautiful, exceptional in every way. Everything you could possibly want is provided here. The welcome pack for us and our dog was lovely and very much appreciated.

This was a lovely cottage with everything we needed.

It was so comfortable with the upstairs living area being very bright and airy. The road outside the cottage could do with a bit of attention but I guess that isn’t the sole responsibility of the cottage owners. The grass needed cutting too, but hopefully that will be attended to shortly! Would definitely recommend.

Lovely property!

Listing was completely accurate, and the property is perfectly located for traveling around the multiple activities and locations. Would highly recommend!

Excellent cottage, well maintained and spotless, would definitely book again

Property was lovely.

Loved the welcome pack for both us and the dog! Will definitely be back again!

We were very pleased with our stay at Potters Barn.

The owners had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable- we loved the cream tea and fudge when we arrived! The cottage has so many little thoughtful extras, such as lovely toiletries in the bathrooms, and a doggy goody bag, it meant that we didn’t immediately have to rush to the supermarket. The cottage was beautifully decorated, warm, well stocked, and clean. The beds were so comfortable we wanted to take them home! Everything was top notch, wi - fi was very good, location very peaceful in a wooded area, great garden for the dog, and to sit out in if weather permitted. The only slight downsides for us were that phone reception was bad due to being surrounded by large trees, but we could communicate through the wi-fi, so not too bad. Also the courtyard area to the front of the property seems to be undergoing some kind of transformation, with no noise, but some properties with scaffolding etc. , and the small bridge at the entrance to the courtyard has to be driven over very carefully. When completed, we are quite sure that the improvements will enhance the property, if the house is anything to go by. All in all, a wonderful place to stay and we would very happily return!

Fabulous cottage, cozy, homely, spotlessly clean and the most comfortable bed ever.

My only regret is not staying longer!

Beautiful cottage/barn, everything you needed was at hand.

Absolutely spotless throughout. Would highly recommend this accommodation. We will definitely return.

Excellent barn conversation very modern top range appliances and bedding no expense spared to make sure guests have what they need.

We enjoyed our stay at Potters Barn going back to see friends as we used to live in Helston was a enjoyment, look forward to a return visit.

Very comfortable but we never managed to come to terms with the heating.

Weather was not good & it would have been better if we could have been able to put heating on in evening - but we couldn't. Also the instructions for working the cooker were not in any order.

Absolutely loved the barn!

Great location and has everything you need! One of the nicest places we have stayed! My only issue is that the shower in the main bathroom didn’t work and we were not made aware

Superb barn for a holiday in Cornwall.

Tucked away in a quiet area but main roads easily accessible making it a great location for visiting places on both the north and south coast. Lots of space for 4, extremely clean , great showers and the kitchen has everything you could need. Would definitely return.

This property was beautifully presented and cared for.

Although we had an issue with the shower, Sykes and the owner did everything possible to resolve it. Despite being unable to we were still able to enjoy our holiday and loved sitting outside. We would definitely return if we revisit Cornwall it was a lovely little hamlet.

EXCEPTIONAL!

We had a wonderful holiday in wonderful potters Barn. The furnishings are beautiful and the attention to detail was absolutely second to none and so much appreciated, making it feel like home from home…..in fact I could live there! The welcome goodies were such a treat, thank you! Everything you could wish for in a rental property was provided. It is also ideally situated for getting to all the ‘hotspots’ such as St Ives, Padstow, Porthleven, Mousehole etc. After a full day out it provides such a peaceful haven to come back to and totally relax. We were incredibly lucky with the weather all week until the day we were leaving and it was a bonus having a lovely outside space that caught the sun all day. So much so, maybe a couple of sun loungers would be a good idea. We have stayed in some beautiful barn conversions over the years in Cornwall but Potters Barn comes top! Thank you so much and we sincerely hope to be back next year. Sally, Dave and Brenda

Wonderful location.

Wonderful property. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

Great barn clean tidy and a described.

Great location.

Very pretty barn conversion, all mod cons and very comfortable.

Very quiet and peaceful location, we loved listening to the owls at night. The weather was not on our side unfortunately but it was lovely to come back to a warm and cozy cottage after a full day in the rain. Thank you for all the goodies for the humans and the pup!

Absolutely beautiful.

Clean, high specification, great central location for exploring, peaceful. We couldn't fault it at all. Well done. Thank you.

Been visiting Cornwall for over twenty years and this is possibly the best cottage we have stayed in.

Beautiful cottage in a small area of converted barns.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay loved all the extra little touches. Would not hesitate to return.

Beautiful property and made our family’s first holiday absolutely perfect.

Unfortunately we didn’t have time to write in the guest book but we would have also said how perfect it was in there too. Thank you for our perfect holiday

Our family stayed at potters barn over Christmas, the accommodation is perfectly located for exploring both coasts , the host was amazing, left Christmas presents for both our boys and the dog , the property is lovely with everything you could need finished to a high standard, we would definitely recommend staying here if your visiting the area , thank you for a great stay .

Potters Barn is in a great quiet location and a perfect base to explore this part of Cornwall, easily accessible to get to the beautiful coast and bays on the Lizard Peninsula, St Ives and the industrial mining heritage around Redruth.

The cottage is well appointed and very warm, with large comfortable beds and sofas. There is an enclosed garden area for dogs. We would heartily recommend Potters Barn - you will not be disappointed.

Hello.

We have just returned home after a few days in the barn. The place was spotless when we arrived. The living area was really spacious and lovely, we met our newest newborn grandson whilst staying at the barn, it was nice to be able to bring him and his mummy to have some tea with us. We would have written in the guest book but we didn't have a pen and found not find one. Just wanted to say Bowie really enjoyed the treats and we loved the fact that there was milk in the fridge. Hubby and kids enjoyed the scones, jam and cream and biscuits ( I'm gluten intolerant so unfortunately had to let them scoff them all). Thank you for a cozy stay

Very well equipped and beautiful cottage.

Thank you we really enjoyed our stay

Hi lovely stay in this wonderful cottage - very well equipped and comfortable very quiet and comfy beds/sofa!

An extra set of cutlery would be very welcome to avoid continously washing up! The velux windows were not clean but appreciate this is no mean task! the bedroom rooms windows could benefit from a clean 2 Minor things as we had a lovely stay but also found the fridge not cold enough!

Wow.

We've just come back from a 5 night stay at Potters Barn. (Two adults and a dog). I normally do fairly short and sweet reviews but as I think this is a fairly new place, I thought it might be useful for others to see all the wonderful things on this property. Parking - there's ample parking for at least 2 cars..maybe 3 compact ones Amenities - absolutely everything was thought of. On arrival we had scones, jam, clotted cream, tea bags, milk provided in the fridge, salt and pepper, washing up liquid, tea towels, shampoo and conditioner bottles, laundry and dishwasher tablets, cookies AND the cutest jar of dog treats and gift bag containing a ball and more treats! All the little things that make such a difference. Water pressure (I know this sounds lame...!) - absolutely phenomenal. The en-suite shower from the king sized bedroom was incredibly refreshing. As hot sleepers we found the duvet a little much for us but we had our own fan to keep us cool. Speaking of fans, a brilliant remote control tower one was supplied in the upstairs living area and that helped keep it cool on our warmer days. Stairgate - there was a soft mesh style stairgate at the top and bottom of the wooden spiral staircase. This was very easy to use and stopped the dog from coming downstairs at night time. Garden - plenty of room for the dog to roam around. We kept him on a long line as he has a tendency to jump over fences. TV & sound bar - fantastic quality. We were able to log into our Netflix and watch our shows. Kitchen - the hob, oven, microwave, sink etc all look brand new and all the utensils were clean and easy to find. The only thing we had a slight issue with was that we couldn't seem to keep the fridge cold. It wasn't a major issue for us as we were only keeping drinks and butter cool. We did email the housekeeping address and got a reply within 24hrs - we didn't need anyone to visit to look at it during our stay. Local recommendations - Boo Koo's had fabulous burgers and milkshakes. Tehidy woods were great for walking. You could take dogs, but there were no bins so carrying full bags round was a bit annoying. A few miles down the road from Tehidy is a beautiful beach called Portreath with a couple of cafes and dogs are welcome on the beach most of the year (from memory July to August they can't be there) Penrose Woods was even better. We couldn't make it all the way around the lake but we'd take snacks next time and pace ourselves better. If you find yourselves in Porthleven, and you like indoor plants. See if Sapling & Bud are there...the nicest lady selling reasonably priced and varied succulents - she will make your day. We had the most amazing time, would highly recommend others to stay here and we've already started to look at availability for next year for a repeat visit.

We had a fabulous week at Potters Barn.

It was spotlessly clean and incredibly well equipped. We loved the location in a quiet wooded valley, but close to Helston and Porthleven - car definitely needed to get around. We were sad to pack up and leave at the end of the week. Overall we plan to return as it is a lovely house and a great base for exploring the area.
