“What a fantastic place.”

Exceeded the expectations across the board. Everything in the house had been thought of - the furnishings, decor, facilities were a very very high standard. Communication with the owner was spot on - super friendly. We stay in rentals across the country a few times a year, and this was the best we have experienced by a good margin. Can't recommend this place highly enough. Thank you!!!!

“Beautiful complex of 4 barns finished to a very high standard.”

The owner was there to greet us and see us off. Will definitely be back
Miss Butler November 2019

“We can’t fault our stay at the Long House.”

The barn was really comfortable & had everything we needed. The location was also great and close to many places to visit. We would definately come back!

“Fantastic accomodation”

Really lovely week away with the family for half term. The Long House is stylish, welcoming and comfortable. A good location for local amenities, and Bridget was very helpful with recommendations for local places to visit and restaurants. A genuinely relaxing stay in a beautiful setting.
Mr Howlett October 2019

“The accommodation really was 5*.”

Very clean and comfortable. Very grateful to the owners for the loan of the dog lead, we left ours at home!
Mr Turner October 2019

“The barn was ideal for the two of us.”

It was spotless, with a lovely welcome pack of local produce. Bridget was extremely helpful and friendly. We will be back!
Ms Danson August 2019

“Fantastic holiday - Mark and Bridget were perfect hosts and the accommodation was outstanding.”

Beautifully presented in a lovely setting. They have thought of everything to make your stay unforgettable
Mrs Burr August 2019

“We had a fantastic week at Long House barn.”

The accommodation was superb and finished to a very high spec with all mod cons and nice extra touches like flowers and dressing gowns. We made use of the communal gas BBQ and the kids liked being able to run around outside a bit. The location is good for exploring the surrounding area.
Mr Economides May 2019

“We enjoyed staying in this lovely accommodation.”

The only observation would be that there is no window in the main bedroom, only double doors and this could be uncomfortable in the warmer months. It is in a great location, in particular being close to the Helford river and the coastal path. We liked being able to walk from the property. Bridget was very welcoming and helpful. We are sad that we will be unable to return here as this property is going to be pet friendly starting in August.
Mr Cole April 2019

“The owners were thoroughly welcoming and the accommodation was perfect.”

From the well maintained grounds to the thought-through furnishings throughout the property, we had a thoroughly brilliant week. The text prior to arrival asking how we would like the beds made up (2x single or 1x double) was a nice touch, as was the welcome pack on arrival. Would thoroughly recommend this accommodation to anyone wishing for a relaxing and luxurious Cornwall holiday.
Mrs Wygoda April 2019

“Such a beautiful cottage, everything about our stay was exceptional.”

The welcome pack was thoughtful and personalised, our cottage had lovely fittings and a very stylish interior which included an integrated sound system and Netflix, the cleanliness was impeccable, it really was a highlight of our holiday to return to the cottage each night. The grounds were immaculate and the grass and playground kept our boys aged 6 & 8 entertained. We found the location to be exceptionally convenient to exploring the Cornwall coast line. Finally the hosts were amazing, friendly and accommodating and across the road if ever needed. Thank you for making our holiday so memorable.
Mr Rushen December 2018

“A fantastic place to have spent Christmas week, more comfortable than our own home, and far more stylish!”
Mrs Wilson September 2018

“The Long House is one of the very best holiday cottages I have ever stayed in.”

It is very luxurious and extremely well designed. Everything I expected and more. I would thoroughly recommend.
Mr Naylor September 2018

“Beautiful barn in peaceful countryside but just minutes from village.”

Top range fixtures and fittings comfy beds .We never used log burner as it was warm with the underfloor heating.Bridget left us fresh flowers and goodies.She came to see us and asked if we needed anything .My husband had ordered a wheelchair and we were worried if they didn’t pick it up on time but she said if they hadn’t arrived we could leave it with her.All the furniture was of good quality.The kitchen was the same colour scheme as mine at home grey and copper..Plenty of places to go and visit.Flambards theme park not far away.Cider Farm was good learn about how cider is made see the farm animals and enjoy a cream tea .Never seen scones as big couldn’t eat all mine.Its a beautiful house in a lovely setting.And the lovely couple who own it live just over the lane if you need anything.Gloria Steve and David.
Mr Walter September 2018

“This cottage exceeded all our expectations.”

Spacious quiet well appointed in a simple but stylish way. So many options available which we didn’t expect and recommendations for dining out were very accurate. BBQ spotless. Makes for a very special holiday and a great start. Thank you
Mrs Bartlett August 2018

“The appliances were so good that it was a joy to have them.”

Lovely shower, great cooking gear and the entertainment system was a treat, although I don't think that the screen in each bedroom was absolutely necessary, especially as the space in bedroom two is very tight and needs more storage. Small point though.
Mrs Clarke June 2018

“Excellent small group of properties all done to a very high standard.”

Very comfortable stay and quiet. Our welcome from Bridget was very friendly and good to know that she and her husband are on hand if there are any problems - which there weren’t. The Cornish welcome goodies were a nice touch. The area is very pretty and close to the beautiful Helford River and plenty of eating out options. We will definitely return to Boskensoe Barns.
Mrs Jackson May 2018

“Fantastic accommodation - really nice to have the owners welcome you and check everything is okay.”

Great communal area for kids to play and also a kids play area. Plenty of parking available and not too far from Falmouth. Don't miss Glendurgan Gardens - within walking distance from the barns. Lots of hidden gems along the Helford River, which is easy to explore from the barns. Definitely one of the holiday cottage we've stayed in. I would rate it 5 out of 5.
Mr Johnston May 2018

“The barn cottage was superb - beautifully fitted out, well designed, and excellent equipment.”

We were very welcome, and really enjoyed our stay.
Mr Ware May 2018

“The Long House deserves a 6 STAR rating.”

Our week long stay was an absolute delight to the point we didn’t want to leave. The Barn conversions are first class, spacious yet cosy and extremely comfortable. The attention to detail is fantastic with everything you could possibly think of was here. The very warm welcome from Bridget & Mark along with the flowers and Cornish Welcome Package & Milk in the fridge was much appreciated. The suggestions of The Ferryboat Inn and The Cove saw us have some superb meals. Thanks Bridget & Mark for giving us a wonderful stay and we will be recommending Boskensoe Barns to all our friends.
Mrs Holloway May 2018

“Wow what can I say about Long House.”

...absolutely stunning!! The house is built & finished to a extremely high standard, everything has been thought of. We received a lovely welcome from the owners, Mark & Bridget on arrival as well as the cleaners who recommended local places to visit. The complimentary welcome pack was personalised with sweets because we had a child with us & our neighbours next door were given dog biscuits because they had a dog with them....it really is the little touches that make you feel welcomed. The play area & court yard were a super addition to the barns, our 2yr old could wander around the secure court yard & play on the climbing frame whilst we still enjoyed relaxing. As well as the travel cot provided if we needed it, the offer of a high chair & the step provided so children can reach the bathroom sink....everything really had been thought of. Top of the range Weber BBQ was a massive bonus & made my BBQ enthusiast husbands day, we used it a number of times as did our lovely neighbours in 'The Stable'. The house is located perfectly to explore the surrounding areas....the beaches, Seal sanctuary, Helford passage, Trebah gardens & so much more. On day 1 I was already searching the Sykes website for a return visit, I cannot wait to come back to Long House in the future!!
Mr Treasure April 2018

“The accommodation was of a very high standard and was spotlessly clean.”

There were four of us staying for 3 nights and I would not hesitate to return. On arrival we were made to feel very welcome by the owner who came over to meet us. We gleaned a few great ideas for our own house!
