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.

“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.

“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.

- Mrs Poulter, September 2018
“Very comfortable barn, clean spacious and bright inside.”

Great central location for visiting a host of places. A credit to the owners.

- Mr Cash, September 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.

“Beautiful Barn, lovely peaceful rural location.”

Would have benefitted from having a tv in the bedroom.

- Mrs Caddick, 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!

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

“First Class all Round”

- Mr Cridland, March 2018
“This is a beautiful barn in a very quiet location so perfect for relaxing.”

Close to the beach and various walks straight from the door too. Only disappointment was that it said there was a DVD player but there isn’t.

- Miss Sharman, December 2017
“The barn was very spacious and well appointed without being precious.”

Great for keen walkers with a dog. Really couldn't fault it apart from the directions which would be fine in daylight but were a bit vague in the dark. 'Top of the hill' to me, means where the road levels out. The barn is actually about half a mile from the top. A sign right on the road saying Sampson Barn would have helped us find it more easily. Not a big issue but worth mentioning. We will definitely return! Guy was a really welcoming chap with lots of good local knowledge and advice.

- Mr Hobden, November 2017
“This barn is a cosy little gem.”

Great location, very very clean, really warm and quiet. Couldn't fault it. Can't wait to return.

“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

A beautiful barn conversion set in rural surrounds within a short drive of Praa Sands makes this a great destination for holidays.

Within two miles of the sandy stretch of beach at Praa Sands, this idyllic barn conversion makes the perfect bolthole for a couple wanting a romantic escape.

All on one floor, the accommodation is spacious and thoughtfully laid out.

Off the hallway, you have a smart bathroom with bath and separate double shower, a dreamy kingsize bedroom and at the far end a wonderfully welcoming open plan living space and kitchen with dining area that boasts french doors to the garden and a fantastic wood burning stove.

The lawned garden is enclosed by a low-level wall and fencing allowing peaceful relaxation after a busy day exploring.Stretch your legs along the various footpaths from the rural spot in Trescowe, or jump in the car to see some of the beautiful coves along the south west coast between Mounts Bay and Porthleven.

For true seaside lovers, why not hop on the branch line train from nearby St Erth and while away a day or two in St Ives where traditional Cornish charm meets upmarket eateries and shops, with some of the most beautiful sandy beaches around West Cornwall.

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.
