“This cottage was beautiful well kept and clean.”

The hosts were only too happy to help you with anything you needed and where most welcoming and friendly.

“We really enjoyed our stay in holy barn.”

In a beautiful setting and not too far from Perranporth. All as you would expect and nice and clean. It was a very relaxing place to return to from exploring the area. Slightly disappointed that you can hear noise from the people staying above us, only when walking around. By 10pm usually all went quiet. Also unable to let dog off lead in communal garden area out of respect to other guests, which is totally understandable but would have liked a bit more freedom for dog to explore, plus unable to leave doors open unless you are able to secure your pet somehow if you want to relax outside. All in all a very enjoyable holiday. Just to note when pulling into lane off main road as it's got a few pot holes.

“The seating was not as shown, we had two old low sagging settees not the ones shown on your website.”

Due to inclement weather ( obviously not your fault ) we would have had more than usual use for the TV but most of the time the picture was pixelated with no reception at all during heavy rainfall. Eventually we home early.

“Excellent accomadation.”

Everything you may need is to hand, from a garlic crusher to tumble dryer. Very clean and comfortable. The location is great, very quiet, and the gardens are lovely, with lots of space and different seating areas. We found it a good location for looking around the areas.... Perranporth has a great beach with cafes and bars. St Agnes is close by, which is a beautiful place. Holly Barn is 1 of 4 lovely apartments within a larger converted barn, my only gripe would be the footfall overhead from the neighbours. They were early risers! However, I’d definitely stay again as it’s so pretty and the location and amenities are great.

“Holly Barn is surprisingly spacious, and with 4 adults and a child, we found it very comfortable.”

The cottage is a very cosy place to return to after a chilly day out. In the kitchen we found we had everything we needed from day one of our visit but space has been maximised for storage, so there’re no dishwasher/washing machines although there is a shared laundry room area if needed. There is good parking space so if couples travel in separate vehicles, parking is easy. A well sited cottage, making it very easy to travel to any of the famed beauty spots on the peninsula. Holly Barn is very clean, and has been well maintained. Unfortunately, covid19 has forced the owners to remove a lot of the creature comforts such as furniture cushions, additional pillows etc, but this is totally understandable and does not sway us into giving a negative feedback. If you do need additional pillows, they could be brought with you. In essence, a very nice barn conversion and we would re-visit.

“We returned to Holly Barn for the 4th time and enjoyed it more than ever.”

After this strange year it was lovely to return to somewhere we know and feel welcome and safe. Grandson wants to return today so we will be back!

Mr Causley August 2020

“Very clean.”

Lovely location and very welcoming

Mr Lovewell July 2020

“This is the 4th time we have been to Oakridge Farm so that speaks for itself.”

All the arrangements made through Sykes were excellent and we had a great time.

Mrs Chellew October 2019

“The cottage is very warm and welcoming.”

With co ordinated cushions and china and plates . Extremely quiet - well we were the only guests staying that week . Have stayed at these barns around 7/8 years annually

- Mrs Chellew, October 2019
Ms Riley October 2019

“The main bed wasn't that comfortable and the shower was more like a gentle drizzle but overall the cottage was lovely, warm and adequate for our needs.”

- Ms Riley, October 2019
Mrs Dietsch August 2019

“We returned to Holly Barn for the 3rd time and had another lovely time.”

Everything we need is there and the 3yr old calls it his Holiday Home! We will return!

- Mrs Dietsch, August 2019
Mr Goodwin July 2019

“A good, central location; really easy to get to other places/ attractions throughout Cornwall quite quickly”

- Mr Goodwin, July 2019
Mrs Martin June 2019

“Just for future mention on the advert that the barn conversion is shared flats just so people know as we didn't realise (it wasn't a problem but we just hadn't read the real small print right at the bottom of the itinary.”

Great location and really friendly and helpful staff. Lovely surrounding and great for dogs.... Rooms had a lovely comfortable feel to them and the surroundings were kept beautifully. Location was perfect for all the places we wanted to visit. We would definately stay again.

- Mrs Martin, June 2019
Mr Porter April 2019

“Great for kids.”

Holly barn was very comfortable and cosy. We found it absolutely spotless throughout and all decor was in excellent condition, in fact the fridge and cooker were brand new. Michael and family were very welcoming and gave helpful advice. The property was ideally located, having the right balance between being close to Perranporth and yet retaining quick access to the roads to go further afield. Great holiday accommodation, we would happily stay here again.

- Mr Porter, April 2019
Mr Kyte September 2018

“Well what can we say it was great.”

Very good accommodation really clean and looking like it was the beginning of the season and not nearing the end it was so lovely. Lovely extras when we arrived which made you feel welcome. Area for our dogs brilliant in safe paddock for them to run around. The area is gorgeous and nothing too far from the beaches and places. Unfortunately Doc Martin was out at Port Wenn but Port Issac was lovely as was St Ives and Perranporth but Padstow was absolutely mobbed and well over priced. Overall our best holiday with Sykes in Cornwall Here’s to next year

- Mr Kyte, September 2018
Mrs Corrigan September 2018

“The cottage was very clean with a lovely decor and had everything thing that we could think of using.”

The location is very central to all areas of Cornwall with a nice pub down the road when we felt like eating out. It was a lovely place to spend the week.

- Mrs Corrigan, September 2018
Mrs Aston August 2018

“On the description it stated laundry facilities.”

What is not mentioned is that you have to pay extra for them and that they are shared. A big disappointment. The location is superb though and the manager/owner is very helpful.

- Mrs Aston, August 2018
Mrs Dietsch August 2018

“We returned a second time to Holly Barn and had another lovely holiday.”

Thinking of returning next year!

- Mrs Dietsch, August 2018
Mr Taylor August 2018

“Very worn out furniture too much noise from the flat above WiFi poor intermittent and very slow.”

Not 4 star quality.

- Mr Taylor, August 2018
Willetts July 2018

“Nice accommodation, well equipped and clean.”

It had not been clear to us before arrival that the "Holly Barn" is in fact one of several self-contained holiday flats in one building. Some of our family group found the flat smelled musty on arrival, and also received advice about how to avoid moisture build up in the flat (leave all the windows open when out), which worried us. The flat needs a little TLC, for example updating the saggy sofas.

- Willetts, July 2018
Mr Hornby July 2018

“...”

Great place to have a base for exploring the area and facilities were excellent, really like having a bit of garden to mellow out in at the end of the day

- Mr Hornby, July 2018
Mrs Nash June 2018

“Only marked down slightly on accuracy of listing and facilities, as a couple of the swing seats (shown on the playground equipment photo) were missing … one being the baby seat, and we had a 14 month old with us, so she couldn't use it.”

It was one of the reasons for choosing the barn. Otherwise it was a lovely place/setting, clean and tidy, and the owners were very helpful and friendly.

- Mrs Nash, June 2018
Mrs Place June 2018

“We had a fabulous week staying in Holly Barn.”

Other family members were staying in Pine Barn next door. Both cottages were clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location is extremely quiet. My children enjoyed the open space and the play area and utilised this at every opportunity. The owners were very hospitable and made us feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend these cottages.

- Mrs Place, June 2018
Mr Gardner April 2018

“Holly barn was extremely comfortable, clean and quier.”

We were given a bottle of local cider, apple juice as well as local biscuits. Our host's warm & welcoming and helpful. We would highly recommend this holiday & hope to return soon

- Mr Gardner, April 2018
Mrs Dietsch August 2017

“We had a wonderful holiday enjoyed by all from 1yr old to Grandma!”

Cant wait to go back.

The property

The white sandy beach at Perranporth is less than a 10 minute drive from this rustic retreat, set amidst mellow countryside with recreational facilities for families.

Away from the hustle and bustle, Holly Barn is located at the end of a leafy lane in a tranquil courtyard setting on a small farm complex in Goonhavern, a little under three miles from Perranporth, four miles from Newquay and 10 miles from Truro.

It is home also to the owners' farmhouse and four other self-catering properties including Pine Barn.

A single storey residence backing onto large, shared lawn gardens with picnic benches and swings for children, Holly Barn caters well for families seeking relaxation and recreation.

Scenic walks can commence from the front door step transporting ramblers through an unspoilt rural landscape rich in wildlife.

Mile upon mile of white sand beaches, the seaside towns at Padstow and St Ives and popular visitors attractions at Eden and Blue Reef Aquarium are within a short reach.

The entrance opens onto the open plan living room, instantly welcoming with plump settees arranged around a rustic wood burner style electric fire, dining suite with garden views and a well equipped country-style kitchen.

Patio doors from the living room give direct access to the garden, an excellent spot for a barbecue.

A pristine bathroom, shower room and three well appointed bedrooms complete the accommodation.

Positioned at the end of a long hall, the double bedroom is romantically inspired with amethyst coloured fabrics patterned with pretty vintage florals.

There is parking for two cars.

About the location

PERRANPORTH

Newquay 9 miles; Truro 9.5 miles.

Perranporth, a beautiful Cornish coastal town, lies in the heart of Poldark Country, the setting for the novels of Winston Graham who lived in Perranporth in the 1930s. Perranporth offers plenty of traditional pubs and shops, plus a classic bucket-and-spade beach that is lifeguarded in summer, overlooked by craggy rocks and a wonderful coastal path. Once known as the source of the finest tin, the community still retains reminders of the rich heritage with abandoned pump houses, mine shafts and workers’ cottages. The local Blue Hills Museum and Perranzabuloe Folk Museum are both well worth a visit to understand the fascinating history of this coastal area. Further afield are the miles of sandy beaches at Crantock and Holywell Bay, and the breathtaking coastal walks around St Agnes, much of it owned by the National Trust. A perfect holiday base in Cornwall, with an abundance of activities to suit everyone.

. Note: Meeting resident animals under owner supervision only. Note: Can be booked with Pine Barn

Note: This property is access via a unmade track.

Note: This property does not accept Stag or Hen parties.
