“A lovely comfortable cottage, we will recommend”

- Pamela, November 2023
Bryan November 2023

“Lovely accommodation, warm and comfortable, extremely helpful owners.”

Greatly appreciated the Welcome Pack, even though we did not use all of the items left for us. Good location being central Cornwall. Bodmin close by for ease of shopping. Access with wheelchair not really possible given the shale chipping and small paving slaps leading to the front door. We managed because my partner was able to 'walk', albeit with much support from me.

- Bryan, November 2023
Geoff October 2023

“In 17 years living in Spain and returning several times a year to visit family and staying in caravans, lodges, annexes, cottages etc we have never stayed in such a clean, comfortable, warm, quiet well equipped accomodation.”

Everything was provided, a welcome basket with local produce, bread, eggs, cereal, milk, butter and biscuits. The kitchen had everything, dishwasher and tablets, washing machine, plenty of mugs and crockery and utensils, even an egg timer, candels, fuses and matches. Shower room had towels, shampoo, toothpaste even needle and thread. Everywhere was spotless and as new. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. Location was quiet and central in Cornwall making both coasts easy to reach in a reasonable time. I highly reccomend this cottage.

- Geoff, October 2023

Judith October 2022

“Had a beautiful stay at Brocks Barn and had a warm welcome from the owner.”

We appreciated the lovely welcome food pack. The views were lovely, even saw bluetits and robins on the bird feeder which was visible from the sofa. Warm, comfortable and very clean accommodation that had all the facilities that you need. Great base to drive to beautiful places, especially, Polperro, Charlestown, Mevigissy and Perranporth. Would recommend Brocks Barn and definitely would return.

- Judith, October 2022
Jackie September 2022

“Brocks Barn is on a very quiet lane some distance from shops so a car is essential, parking for two cars is next to the barn.”

The location is excellent as it is not far from the many attractions that Cornwall has to offer. The owner, Miss Loughlin, is very friendly and helpful. A short power cut and Miss Loughlin was over to us very quickly with candles, matches and a torch and to check we were O.K. The barn is well equipped and very clean. Although it is next to the owners house it is very private and peaceful, a very good location for a holiday.

- Jackie, September 2022
Peter August 2022

“I can completely recommend that accomodation.”

Miss Loughlin is a lovely person and she has helped us in a great way when we were in trouble.

- Peter, August 2022

“My sister and I had a very comfortable and leisurely holiday, visiting a few places (NOT Looe, parking paid by mobile app only, I don't do that !”

), listening to music and catching up with our reading lists. Listening to music with the view across the valley, very relaxing.

- Paul, June 2022
Mike June 2022

“Lovely peaceful spot tucked away on a quiet lane.”

Large nature reserve close by. Nearest pub (The Crown in Lanlivery) is about a 40 minute walk. Advisable to book if you want to have dinner in Lostwithiel. Very hospitable hosts. Basket of essentials (bread, milk, eggs, etc.) provided on arrival. Everything was clean, tidy and in working order. Happy to recommend.

- Mike, June 2022
Nadine May 2022

“Brocks Barn is not only the ideal place to stay, being fairly centrally located in Cornwall, but you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere (definitely an advantage in my opinion) even though you are minutes away from a main road.”

It is very comfortable and very well equipped even down to the brolly by the door should it be required! There is also the added extras i.e. the many birds at the bird feeder just outside, and the residents cats. Michelle is a wonderful host and we were very grateful for the goodies she left, thank you, and we would love to come and stay again.....

- Nadine, May 2022
John May 2022

“An excellent, comfortable and warm cottage.”

We enjoyed our stay very much and would happily recommend it to any of our friends. It was a quiet peaceful spot , easy to find with the excellent directions given and an added bonus of entertainment from the squirrels and birds on the feeders. The owners were available and friendly but not intrusive. We would happily have given it 5 stars but for the poor shower, a power shower really is necessary, also a towel rail not working, cooker extractor not working, no hanging space in the bedroom and a lack of few kitchen items.

- John, May 2022
Richard May 2022

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Brocks Barn, perfectly suited what we required.”

Ideally located to visit many Cornish attractions. Pleasant surprise to fine a basket of goodies and pleasant music on arrival.

- Rebecca, March 2022
Elizabeth March 2022

“We had a really comfortable stay at Brock's Barn, Sweetshouse.”

The cottage was cosy and the beds especially comfortable after a day's walking. It was very welcoming upon entry to find the heating on, radio softly playing, vase of flowers on the bookshelf plus a basket of diary, cereal and bread waiting for us to start our stay. A homely touch to show the Host cares about offering the Barn for others to stay in.

- Elizabeth, March 2022
Jayne March 2022

“We had a lovely holiday at Brocks Barn!”

“The welcome beforehand and on arrival was great .”

The cottage was very clean. Everything you need there. The only thing I would change perhaps a power shower.The location is great to get to many places.

Pankaj January 2022

“Home from Home We had a great time.”

The cottage had everything you could possibly need - spacious, light, 2 bedrooms (used single for storing luggage, etc), 2 sofas, large kitchen with appropriate equipment, detached from owner's property so a lot of privacy. It would have been nice to have a power shower but the basic electric shower was more than adequate.

- Pankaj, January 2022
M November 2021

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful rural area, open curtains in morning and you see a variety of birds, as in woodpeckers etc, pheasants in field and deer as well.”

Best nights sleep for a long time, the kitchen has all you need, nice welcome pack and lovely bathroom, the owners were lovely people who were there if you needed them, cottage central to many places to visit, if you are looking for a quiet break with no traffic noise this would be ideal.

- M, November 2021

“We had a lovely, much needed break.”

Thank you so much for the use of the cottage. Shame about the weather, but this was a beautiful cottage and very peaceful. Michelle and husband made us feel very welcome and the basket of groceries on arrival was much appreciated. Just a suggestion - it would be good to have a small coffee table.

- Ruth, October 2021

Colleen September 2020

“We were a little disappointed to find there was no garden, there was a patio area but sadly it was in the shade after 11.”

30 am. The cottage was situated in a very narrow lane, luckily during the whole week we didn’t meet a vehicle coming the other way except on the day of arrival when we met the school bus and a tractor!

- Colleen, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback. Sorry you were disappointed about the garden, the proeprty does not advertise a garden there is a patio area only. The property is situated in a rural hamlet where all the local roads the same. Hope this did not impact on your stay. Many thanks. Property Owner

The barn was nicely decorated, clean and had everything you could think of, including a lovely welcome hamper on arrival. It was warm, welcoming and in a lovely quiet location.

Definitely recommend!!

“Brock's Barn is a haven of tranquility.”

Off main roads, tucked away and surrounded by countryside. It's extremely quiet, wildlife is about all you hear. A traditional barn with exposed beams, the facilities are comfortable and more than adequate. We visited in February, and have been cosy and warm. I can recommend this as a beautiful cosy quiet cottage to base a holiday, we travelled as far as Porthleven on the south coast, which was an hour away.

“We had a great place to stay, lovely weather and lots of brilliant leisure/sight seeing activities to do.”

The cottage was in a great location with good local amenities. I have used Sykes cottages before and would have no hesitation to use them again as they provide a high standard of accommodation.

Set with a spacious, open-plan living area, this property combines rustic and modern features in a stunning manner as it boasts exposed wooden beams and a well-appointed, stylish kitchen.

The welcoming leather sofas sit in front of the TV, with the electric log burner close at hand to warm you up as you watch your favourite shows and films.

The charming dining table, set for three people, is accompanied by a pretty picture window offering views towards the surrounding rolling fields.

The two bedrooms here at Brocks Barn are tastefully appointed with thoughtful touches, such as bedside tables and lamps, to make you feel right at home.

A sumptuous walk-in shower room provides a stylish spot to get yourself ready before another memorable day in the Cornish countryside.

Indulge yourself in this remarkable setting by taking a seat on the patio with a refreshing drink and a good book.

About the location

LOSTWITHIEL

Bodmin 5.5 miles; Fowey 7 miles.

A delightfully peaceful country town, nestling in the Fowey river valley amid the woods and fields that characterise the area. Renowned as a centre for the antiques trade, there are several shops and dealers in the town, as well as a fine collection of country pubs, restaurants and a thriving farmer’s market. Lanhydrock House (NT) and gardens is just 3 miles away, while the fabulous Boconnoc House, Eden Project, shipwreck museum and tall ships harbour at Charlestown, and the picturesque fishing villages of Mevagissey, Fowey and Padstow, with the famous Rick Stein restaurants, are all within easy driving distance. The tumbling Atlantic surf, long sandy beaches and dramatic coastline of the north coast, including at the renowned Newquay, make for great days out and there is also chance to enjoy river canoeing, biking, hiking and leisurely walks in this lovely area. The friendly locals also have ongoing activities, such as the raft race, the famous tug of war, Carnival week and seagull outboard motor races. The river Fowey runs from the town on its 8 mile journey through the fields and wooded valleys to the gentler southern coast, a natural paradise for those who love the sea. Centrally placed, with much to do and see in the immediate area, Lostwithiel is the perfect choice for those seeking a break away from the hectic pace of the tourist resorts.
