Barneys Barn
Description
Situated less than a 10 minute drive from surfy Sennen Cove and iconic Land's End, this rustic retreat sits in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Perfect for families, Barney's Barn is wonderfully placed for saltwater escapades and exploring the rugged character of Cornwall's magical Far West. It sits within the grounds of the owners 17th century grade II listed farmhouse. The perfect hideaway for peace, relaxation and the fresh Cornish air!
With its mile of fine white sand and azure sea, the beautiful beach at Sennen Cove offers safe bathing and a lifeguard service during the summer. It is one of Cornwall's premier visitor destinations with a first class beachside restaurant, a charming harbour with a small fleet of fishing boats, art galleries selling work by local artists, a traditional pub, cafe, fish and chip shop and a recognised surf school offering tuition and equipment hire. There are beaches in abundance at St Ives and the exotic paradise of Trewidden Gardens, the island topped castle of St Michael's Mount and The Minack, Cornwall's famous open-air cliff-top theatre (offering productions for both adults and children) are all less than a 30 minute drive and highly recommended, family friendly places to visit during your stay.
For explorers of all ages, the Penwith Peninsula offers spectacular open moorlands dotted with old mines and ancient monuments and a beautiful, wild and windswept coast path, well known for its access to remote beaches, tall granite cliffs and quintessential fishing villages.
Return from fun days at the coast to spread out and relax in this wonderfully spacious home interior. The open plan living room on the first floor has smart wood flooring, big modern sofas and doors to a decked terrace for alfresco meals, meadow views and a lawned garden. Practical and flexible, there are three lavish bathrooms and three elegant bedrooms with comfortable zip and link beds which can be presented as either super-king or twin beds on request at time of booking. There are two bedrooms on the lower ground floor with stable doors to an enclosed patio and a bedroom on the ground floor which might suit those with limited mobility.

A lovely location.
Very peaceful. Views of the countryside. Lovely dark skies, so dark you can watch the satellites rushing overhead while spotting stars you don't normally get to see. Super handy for the Minack theatre.
We have had a fantastic week here and around Cornwall There was four adults and two toddlers and still plenty of room The children have had lots of room to run around plus the garden area and they loved seeing the cows in the field
Initially a very nice property, but with a couple of days experience the gloss wore off.
It was never bad, but, it wasn't luxury , either.The approach steps were narrow,l and the balustrades quite rickety, a cause for concern for a disabled person. The outside dining area is a good idea, but without sunshade provision it was unusable in the heatwave conditions. Inside the property is ok, but starting to show it's age and long usage, whilst the lack of any fans was a distinct problem due to the heat. Going downstairs to the two lower bedrooms, en suites,l and utility area, there was a distinct, ever present, smell of dampness, which never went away the whole week, there were one or two patches of faint mould also The outside courtyard area had a pleasant tree, but it had outgrown its space, making that area unusable, and blocking any sunlight and fresh air to that general area. The lounge windows would benefit from curtains to block the sun shining into your eyes whilst sitting on the sofas. Overall. an acceptable experience, but not the luxury experience which the pricing suggested.
