“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: ...

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?

“The cottage was perfect for a comfortable and enjoyable holiday, in what proved to be a stormy January week.”

We were very impressed by the excellent facilities in the cottage and the high level of cleanliness. The local information provided was excellent and helped us to plan some lovely local outings. It really was a home from home.
Mr Mason October 2019

“It was a return for us to Sampson Barn and equally as good as last time.”

Although it seems right out in the sticks it is close to all necessary amenities. Guy the owner is a smashing chap, very friendly and helpful. It really is an ideal place for a couple and dogs.
Dr Cash September 2019

“Beautiful and wonderful place to stay.”

Great location, easy and short travel to lots of places, very quiet and peaceful. Lovely walk straight from property that was great with a dog - bring your walking boots as can get muddy. Very spacious, comfortable and furnished to a high level. Everything we could need for the wood burner plus blankets, lots of pamphlets and guidance for days out and local eateries. We were very comfortable and cosy whether we went out of stayed in. Smart tv to watch Netflix etc was useful. Very warm and insulated property, was never cold. There was lots of storage space in the property, although just a little fridge and no freezer - didn't bother us though as we just did two small shops. The listing does say a DVD player but couldn't see one. All in all we had such a lovely stay and will be back :-).
Mr Green August 2019

“Beautiful location close to great walks and beaches.”

Went to Long Rock beach every day with the dog. Local pubs have great food and dog friendly.
Mr Lassman May 2019

“Sampson Barn was a lovely relaxing and peaceful place and we enjoyed our stay.”
Mrs Collier April 2019

“This property is very spacious, clean and comfortable.”

It is in a quite area and well positioned for visiting the surrounding area.
Mr Ford April 2019

“Had a great stay at Sampson Barn, a very private an peacefull location couldn't of asked for better.”

Great walks on door step for dogs, look for to a return stay.
Mr Mason October 2018

“Sampson Barn is everything one needs for a holiday.”

Guy, the owner was very welcoming and helpful when we arrived. A very kind thought was the local carton of milk and two Bonios for our dogs. The facilities in the kitchen were better than our own home! It was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The décor was very pleasant with some local paintings etc of the area on the wall. The bed was very comfortable which is often a challenge when away from home and the bathroom was palatial with both bath and shower, brilliant. Our dogs felt very at home as did we! Although the barn is up a narrow lane, it was still easy to get to wherever you wanted to go and the peace and quiet of the surrounding countryside was wonderful. We would strongly recommend this holiday venue and hope to return one day.
Mrs Howard October 2018

“This barn is a beautiful, clean and well thought out property.”

Everything you need is there. Welcoming for dogs is a plus. Walks from the front door what more do you need? Will be returning.
Mrs Poulter September 2018

“The Location was perfect for us to visit our planned National Trust properties in the area.”

It was also in a very quiet location which we enjoyed very much.
Mr Cash September 2018

“Very comfortable barn, clean spacious and bright inside.”

Great central location for visiting a host of places. A credit to the owners.
Miss Marshall July 2018

“It was an absolutely lovely barn owned by lovely people.”

We really appreciated the pint of milk left for us and the information pack was really useful. We would definitely stay here again! In a quiet part of Cornwall, with lots of beautiful wildlife, super comfy bed and fantastic facilities.
Mrs Caddick July 2018

“Beautiful Barn, lovely peaceful rural location.”

Would have benefitted from having a tv in the bedroom.
Mrs Sharp July 2018

“Lovely, secluded location, within reach of beautiful beaches and villages.”

Very clean and comfortable accommodation, which is pet friendly. We were made to feel very welcome by the owner. Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Sampson Barn!
Mr Tooke April 2018

“A lovely little find with everything very well presented and clean.”

Would definitely return.

Lovely cottage a bit out the way for us although easy to get about from no real views from inside as the fence blocks it but as we didn't spend a lot of time there it wasn't too important all in all very good
Mr Godbolt April 2018

“We had a great time and after our days out it was nice to come back to 'home' comforts”

“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.

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.

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

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 – a Post Office and general stores, beach cafe with fish & chips, and a beach/surf shop stocked with everything you could need for a great day at the beach. 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.
