“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.

“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 :-).

“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.

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

- Mr Lassman, May 2019
“This property is very spacious, clean and comfortable.”

It is in a quite area and well positioned for visiting the surrounding area.

- Mrs Collier, 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 Ford, April 2019
“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.

“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 Howard, October 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
“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
“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.

- Miss Marshall, July 2018
“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!

- Mrs Sharp, July 2018
“We had a great time and after our days out it was nice to come back to 'home' comforts”

- Mr Godbolt, 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

- Mrs Hotton, April 2018
“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
“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.

- Mrs Howard, November 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
“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.

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.
