“This is a gorgeous little barn, beautifully decorated, and the perfect size for one or two.”

The little courtyard garden was semi-enclosed and ideal for the dog to sit outside, and there was a great public footpath walk nearby. The hamlet was super-quiet (and super-dark at night - take a torch!), and in a great location for seeing the rest of Cornwall. There was generous parking and decent wifi, but absolutely no phone reception at the barn. The cottage had everything we needed (other than a second toilet roll!!) but was starting to show a little age after a busy summer season. A new mattress wouldn't go amiss, nor some curtains at the entrance to bedroom and sitting room to keep draughts out. But otherwise brilliant.

Lovely little cottage well equipped very quiet perfect base for places to visit very comfy bed only problem no gate in garden to make it secure would definitely return though beautiful part of our country

“The property needed decorating and was shabby in areas especially the sofa which was uncomfortable and in need of repair .”

The induction hob didn’t work and after explaining to your advisors that we had tried what the owner had recommended it still didn’t work and no one seemed bothered .The bathroom had a damp smell and we had to keep the door closed as it lingered through the property .The holiday itself was nice but the property itself didn’t live up to the four stars you awarded it .

“Sykes holiday cottages, where very efficeint in the whole process, but sadly the Little Barn was not quite up to scratch.”

fridge was not particularly clean, cottage require decoration in areas, garden needs clearing as overgrown and gate required, kitchen could do with proper oven, rather than combi microwave. Could not use fixed BBQ as it has shrubs growing around it and grill was exstremly rusty. Information book, could have more local info, restraints and local attractions. No mobile signal, which can be a positive. The worst issue was smell of damp in downstairs bathroom and bedroom,. so we needed to leave extractor on all time to improve smell. This smell was here all 7 days of our stay, which would prevent us staying here again. The positives of the property are private parking, the Little Barn is remote, in very small hamlet, so very quiet and peaceful. Only 20 minutes from Looe or Polperro and ferry for Fowey.If you want to walk to a bar there is a bar in a the Deer Park, around 1 mile away, but take torch if walking at night. No light pollution, os great for night sky. Bed comfortable and interior furniture very quaint, with stylish fittings. Wi Fi very efficient, which is good as no mobile signal. all in all, with a bit of TLC and the damp being sorted, this could be a fantastic property.

“Lovely property.”

Would have been nice to have a small welcome pack, as received at other properties. Garden furniture needs updating. All else really nice

Mrs Paterson July 2021

“Very inaccessible property.”

Barn lovely but garden non existent. Not in a very nice area. No where to enjoy the sunny weather in the evening. Garden not secure for our little dog

“Couldn't fault this gorgeous place, one of nicest places we hsve stayed in.”

Lovely welcoming with tea for two laid out on the table and radio on. Would recommend this company to all my friends and would definitely use you again

“We loved this little cottage, it was small and cosy, and in such a peacefull setting, it was not to far to drive to some lovely costal areas, also some lovely walks right outside the door.”

I recomend this cottage if your looking for a peacefull holiday.

“The cottage is in a beautiful location and has all the facilities required for a comfortable stay.”

However, because I am by trade an electrician, I could not help but observe that the electrical installation is not compliant to current 18th edition regulations. I did bring this to the attention of Sykes, who promptly dealt with my concerns, passing them on to the owners. The reason I marked down the cleanliness is purely due to the unpleasant odour which is constant in the bathroom. If the above points are rectified we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

“Lovely character property in a really quiet village , a nice location not too far from the coast .”

Nice and cosy with great little touches like the scones and cream , fresh milk and the radio playing to welcome you . A small garden for the dogs but it is open to the road , however it's such a quiet location it's not really a problem. Really enjoyed our time at little barn .

- Mr Green, October 2019
Mr King September 2019

“We were really pleased with our decision to stay at the Little Barn.”

It was very cosy, in a peaceful setting and was just what we were looking for. The cottage was set up nicely for us on arrival, with the radio on and scones and cookies available in the kitchen. Ideal choice for a couple! One thing to note would be that the garden is not secure for any pets that are brought along (although the road through the village is very quiet).

“Delightful 'Little Barn', stylish and cosy in wonderful surroundings.”

Ideal for visiting Looe, Fowey and Padstow. Welcoming and thoughtful acts of kindness.

- Mrs Duff, October 2018
Ms Welstead October 2018

“Very welcoming.”

Exactly as pictured in advert. Cream tea and coffee/tea and biscuits a nice touch. Only thing I couldn't find was something to light candles otherwise it was perfect.

“Forgot to sign guest book, so would like to say how beautiful The Little Barn was.”

Had everything we needed. Clean on arrival and did my best to leave clean on exit. Would of liked to run a Hoover around but there wasn't one. Beautiful little village, bit hairy at times coming in and out of village in car as all single track roads. Coast 15 mins away - Looe, Polperro and Downderry Beach....all gorgeous. Lovely place to stay. Would definitely recommend.

- Mrs Burden, December 2017
Mrs Wise September 2017

“Very high standards by the owners of this cottage.”

It had the most comfortable bed and lovely furnishings. Such a lovely welcome on arrival too, as there was Classical music playing, and a lovely cream tea left for us to enjoy. A lovely touch.

The property

Head along winding countryside lanes, close to the stunning Cornish Riviera coastline, to the peaceful village of Herodsfoot and this irresistible bolthole with a big oasis garden and gorgeous valley views for walkers, honeymooners and nature lovers.

Bordering Deerpark and Herodsfoot Forest, The Little Barn feels deeply rural but the seaside town of Looe and the old world charm of Polperro are just a ten minute drive. A diverse and unique place, guests can walk (with dog in tow) along the stunning coast path and discover endless beaches or wander through the forest wonderland, located within minutes.

Return from rambling escapades to this detached stone barn conversion and squirrel yourself away in the privacy of the mature well-stocked garden.

You can sit on the patio in the shade of trees with a glass of red at hand and fire up the barbecue as the sun goes down over the valley.

For a refined dining atmosphere head into Looe which has a busy fishing port, a reputation for the freshest seafood and ample restaurants serving world-class cuisine.

Spend time exploring the town with its galleries, old inns, cafes, individual shops and the beach which permits dogs year round.

Hop on a pleasure boat to Polperro or continue farther to the exclusive waterfront town of Fowey. An intimate space, The Little Barn is small but perfectly formed with reverse level accommodation.

The interior design is distinctive.

In the open plan living room a subtle arty style, with some original pieces by local artists, combines with the relaxed simplicity of a plump leather settee, beautiful wooden furniture, a statement rug, scatter cushions, thick warm throws and tasteful decorative items.

All is comfortable and functional and the vaulted ceiling, exposed timber beams, lintels and trusses, slate flagstone floor, wide wooden floorboards and deep set windows add rustic character.

The kitchenette has all the essential equipment to cook delicious produce from the local farm shop and there is never a dull moment with an intriguing book collection, board games, sound bar and free Netflix.

Head downstairs to a gorgeous bedroom with a king size bed, the best quality bed linens, a sleek en-suite shower room and a door to the garden.
