“The Long House is excellent and exceeded our expectations in every way.”

The property is tucked away in a court yard of four, in peaceful countryside on the edge of Mawnan Smith. It is stylishly furnished with excellent facilities. Well appointed kitchen and bathroom, BBQ and patio furniture, very comfy beds with towels and robes. Everything is thought out well and the owners are more than helpful. We booked our next stay here two days into this stay.
Mr Howell February 2020

“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!!!!
Mr Walding December 2019

“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!
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.
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
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.

About the location

MAWNAN SMITH

Falmouth 6 miles ; Helford Passage 1.5 miles ; Helston 12.5 miles

Located near the mouth of the Helford River in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Mawnan Smith is a pretty little village. It is home to a traditional pub overlooking the water, a restaurant, a church and a handful of shops. The surrounding area is perfect for ramblers, with an abundance of creekside and woodland walks, and subtropical gardens at Glendurgan and Trebah. The Helford River also offers opportunities for kayaking and sailing as well as fishing. The nearby maritime town of Falmouth is a popular resort, with a range of shops and restaurants, bowling alley and the National Maritime Museum…. Or why not catch the ferry from Helford Passage to Helford Village and explore the picturesque South Helford? Enterprise Boats offer trips up the River Fal from Falmouth to Truro, passing iconic maritime locations and landmarks as well as several ocean-going vessels which anchor in the river.

Note: No stag/hen or similar. Long House is on a smoke free complex.
Note: Check-in time 4pm.
Note: Construction on a small ‘bat house’ (4m x4m x2m high) is due to start from the 10th August 2020 and will last for approximately 7-8 weeks (until early October). The ‘bat house’ will be located to the rear of the Long House and although there will be no visual disturbance, some of the work taking place may be audible from occupants of both the Long House and The Stable. Work begins from 9am until 5pm. Whilst it is not anticipated this will be of a level to detract from the enjoyment of your stay, as a goodwill gesture the owner would like to offer a 10% discount for any potential disturbance.
