“Castle Dore Barn is located on a peaceful farm surrounded by glorious countryside views.”
As we opened the door we were greeted by a warm and welcoming, beautiful room with the lights on and a generous array of goodies to enjoy. The interior of the barn looks like new and was spotlessly clean. The owners came to say hello and were warm and friendly but not intrusive. Colin brought us his own sausages and bacon which was a wonderful extra. Outside there is a well maintained garden to sit in with everything you could need in the shed nearby. The grass was cut and there were pretty pots ...
As we opened the door we were greeted by a warm and welcoming, beautiful room with the lights on and a generous array of goodies to enjoy. The interior of the barn looks like new and was spotlessly clean. The owners came to say hello and were warm and friendly but not intrusive. Colin brought us his own sausages and bacon which was a wonderful extra. Outside there is a well maintained garden to sit in with everything you could need in the shed nearby. The grass was cut and there were pretty pots and plants. The kitchen was very well equipped, again, with everything you could possibly need. There isn't a large freezer but we easily used the compartment in the undercounter fridge. The seating in the lounge area was very comfortable with a good TV and through the double doors, a small balcony to sit on overlooking stunning hills. Downstairs, two good sized bedrooms with bathroom/ensuite, all extremely clean. The mattresses are fairly firm but comfortable and really lovely bedding. Everything was spotless. One of the highlights was meeting Colin and Amanda who genuinely care about guests and their needs. They couldn't have been nicer. We loved the peace and watching the swallows and swifts in the evening. Castle Dore Barn is within easy reach of so many great places to visit and there is plenty of tourist information in the barn. We loved it so much we have booked again for next year!

About the location
FOWEY
Lostwithiel 8 miles; Polperro 8 miles
This small town and civil parish lies at the mouth of the River Fowey in south Cornwall. The estuary of the River Fowey forms a natural harbour, which enabled the town to become an important trading centre. There is a wealth of things to see and do in and around the harbour. Whether you enjoy getting out on the water, playing golf or finding out more about the history of the area, you are sure to find something to suit the whole family. Harbour cruises leave the Town Quay regularly in season giving you a superb view of the town, but for the more adventurous, rent your own self-drive boat, kayak or paddle board and explore the waters for yourselves! The town is steeped in history, so why not join a guided tour of either Fowey or Polruan? You can even join an owl experience, play golf, go horse riding or pursue your artistic talents with pottery or painting courses. There is the aquarium, museum and St Catherine's Castle, as well as Readymoney Cove, all waiting to be explored. If you get peckish, or fancy something thirst quenching along the way, there is a plethora of pubs, inns, cafes and restaurants to choose. Whenever you plan to visit, keep a look out for the festivals, fairs, markets and theatre performances on throughout the year. There are many family attractions in the area, including Mevagissey and Charlestown harbours, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Discover them all from this fantastic base!
