“Lovely cottage/barn conversion in beautiful farmland.”

Easy to reach the both south and north coasts by car, good walking area. Welcomes dogs, nice garden. Very comfortable and clean. Peaceful. This was our second visit this year.

“Perfect cottage for 2 people plus dogs.”

Easy well planned ground floor layout, fantastic comfy large bed, superb bathroom great hot water pressure. Well fitted modern kitchen, very comfortable sofa and chair, stylish easy to use wood burner, big flat screen TV. Ideal enclosed garden for dogs. Very quiet and peaceful, convenient location for wonderful Praa Sands beach (£1 coins needed for parking everywhere). The best cottage we've stayed in.

“Overall we were very happy with Sampson Barn and really hope to come back soon.”

The location, layout, standard and cleanliness of the barn was excellent. I want to say all was perfect and also offer some observations that could have made our stay even better - this is only for us of course and may not apply to others - therefore, by making suggestions, I would contradict my perfect comment. Observations are below and certainly not criticisms: 1) Although very comfortable the settee is on the small side - I like to get my feet up sometimes and the small settee and absence of any footstools had us moving kitchen chairs into living room to put feet up 2) We did not use the washing machine, but missed a dishwasher raising the question whether a dishwasher would be a better option than the washing machine? 3) One of our dogs is lively and nervous and was able to jump onto the garden wall and potentially get over - this was not an issue as it was so quiet, but had there been more people around he may have got over (this is more to do with his condition than anything else). This was solved by always supervising him and often putting him on the lead. We understand further fencing would impact on the view, but wonder whether a role of wire would be a halfway measure?

“Leave the world behind!”

Currently spending the week here at Sampson Barn. Located in Trescowe, it's tucked away behind another house off a rarely used road meaning absolutely nobody ever walks past and allows for perfect isolation from the rest of the world. The cottage itself is very well planned and extremely spacious, it's also very very clean and well equipped. Well behaved dogs also allowed and ours thoroughly enjoyed the log burner. Thought we'd be able to do more walks from the door but found this not to be the case. However we found an amazing App call iWalk Cornwall with loads of fantastic pinpoint walks with smartphone guidance. There is almost zero phone signal here (we're on EE) but cottage does have Wi-Fi. TV is just about big enough to see from the very comfy sofa and has Freesat only. No kind of online viewing available so bring an iPad or a book with you! Would definitely recommend and has been one of the best cottages/barns we've stayed at.

The property

Within two miles of the stunning beach at Praa Sands, this beautiful barn conversion makes the perfect bolthole for a couple or a romantic rendezvous, nestled in a leafy hamlet with rest and relaxation guaranteed.

Reached along a private driveway, Sampson Barn sits in Trescowe, minutes from Cornwall's south coast hotspot destinations.

The market town of Penzance is a 20 minute drive away, with bustling harbour and outdoor Jubilee Swimming Pool.

Marazion has golden sands arcing around Mounts Bay and an abundance of galleries, gift shops, cafes and traditional inns.

Discover the mesmeric landmark attraction of St Michael's Mount, reached by foot across the causeway or ferry depending on the tide.

Explore the characterful harbour framed by cute cottages or visit the gardens that climb up to the fortress atop.

Pasties and cream teas can be savoured whilst kite-surfers and dinghies skim the waters.

Praa Sands is even closer, with beach bar/restaurant and surf school, a popular haven for water enthusiasts and sun-seekers.

Golfers can tee off at the 9 hole course and the coastal footpath is ideal for walkers and four-legged friends, promising a seascape vista of coves, cliffs and beaches.

St Ives on the north coast is a must with fabulous restaurants, boutiques and galleries dotted around the pretty harbour.

Contemporary in design, the interior of Sampson Barn is beautifully presented - a haven of spacious tranquillity set amidst a private, enclosed garden with sunspot lawn and patio ideal for dining alfresco.

The sitting room has a wood burner and is open plan to the dining area and super chic kitchen, with all mod cons.

The bedroom is comfy and the spangly bathroom has the luxury of a bath and shower.

There is off road parking for two cars.

About the location

PRAA SANDS

Marazion 4.5 miles ; Helston 6 miles ; Porthleven 5 miles

The village of Praa Sands sits on the south coast in between Helston and Marazion. Praa Sands is known for its mile-long sandy beach and excellent surfing conditions. There is a bar/restaurant overlooking the beach – the perfect spot for lunch with a view or sunset drinks. Praa Sands is also home to a Golf and Country Club, from where the most wonderful sea vista can be enjoyed whilst you play. Just inland from the beach is Pengersick Castle, the tower of which dates back to the 16th century. It is said that Pengersick is haunted, and that the ghost of a monk has been seen wandering the grounds! The house at Pengersick is rumoured to be the birth place of John Carter, the self styled King of Prussia and a tunnel which leads from the house to the beach was apparently once used by smugglers. There are supermarkets and other retail stores in Penzance (8 miles) and Helston (6 miles).
