“The property was lovely and exactly as advertised.”

It was clean, warm, and furnished to a high standard. We enjoyed the convenience of being able to walk to the Eden project, and everywhere that we planned to visit was easily reached by car. With no facilities within walking distance, a car is essential to make the most of a stay here.

“We fell in love with the cottage, area and Cornwall.”

Leghorn is a five star cottage with fluffy white towels, white bed linen, peace and tranquillity. It is immaculately clean, we took our two small dogs and assumed they would smell other dogs, there was no doggie smell at all. The owner is on hand if needed but basically let’s you get on and enjoy your holiday. We had fresh eggs from the farm and wish we had bought more to bring home. Eggs delivered to our door! Each cottage has its own hot tub, ours was in the barn with a great sea view from the open stable door. We had the key to the barn which meant we pleased ourselves when we used it. We were entertained evenings by the goat and sheep, horses and cows. The Eden project is within walking distance though a lovely country walk which takes approx 20 minutes. Easy reach to the rest of Cornwall. I can not recommend this place enough, we will definitely be returning. Thank you Leghorn for the lovely memories we’ve made.

“We had an absolutely amazing time here at Leghorn.”

The cottage is stunning and decorated to a high standard. Everything you need is on hand to help you with your self catering stay from a dishwasher, microwave and oven down to a bottle opener. The double room and ensuite toilet/shower is down stairs and the twin room with ensuite/bath is upstairs. There is plenty of space for a family of four. The cream tea waiting for us on our arrival was a beautiful gesture. The owners were on hand to help us with any queries not that we had very many. The hot tub was a god send after a busy day visiting family and places. The cottage has some spectacular sea views and is central to many attractions. We had some very peaceful nights sleeps too in very comfortable beds. We will definitely be visiting this little gem very very soon. Also loved meeting the grumpy goat who visited every evening.

“Lovely cottage and perfectly located for exploring Cornwall.”

Everything was with an hours drive.

“Really lovely property and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.”

Warm welcome from cottage owners and loved the resident goat. My only comment is that the listing states the cottage has an enclosed/secure garden area but it is open to the rest of the property, just could be tricky for some people with furry friends but ours loved the extra freedom :)

- Nathalie, March 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We have checked the listing following your comments and cannot see any mention of the garden being enclosed or secure. We are sorry if this was unclear at any point. - The Owner Relations Team Property Owner

“We had a lovely stay in this gorgeous place.”

The owners were very helpful and gave us tips on the surrounding area. We also enjoyed the hot tub which was not shared. Only we are allowed to use it. We also had the most incredible weather for the whole week. I’d recommend Caerys beach ( Porthluney) if you have a dog. It’s a lovely Lottie beach with a big car park and lovely food at the beach bar. We also loved the fish bbq in the evening.

“The fact that there was the use of a washing machine still listed but not available to use could have been a problem if we had been a family with children.”

Also, a full length mirror would have been nice.

- Jennifer, June 2021

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback, laundry facilities are available on site, following current covid rules the facilities are available using a booking system, we are sorry if you did not notice this information on the property details. Property Owner

“Lovely views from leghorn across bay, clean and tidy, farm animals to see on farm.”

Do need car to drive to pub and beach. Because of Covid need to book all restaurants and places to visit in advance, disappointed with wi fi being not secure, otherwise had a lovely stay despite the rain !!

Elaine May 2021

“Leghorn was such a great place to stay.”

Great location with everything in the house that you needed. Lots of baby items provided such as cot, stair gate and high chair- all great quality and really helpful not to have to think about packing this from home! Great place to stay with pets also. The owners were lovely and provided great finishing touches to make the stay perfect. Can’t wait to return!

Claire February 2019

“What a beautiful cottage in a fantastic location.”

Everything we needed was here and the cream tea was a lovely bonus. We definitely recommend Leghorn to everyone and are looking forward to coming back for another visit, possibly bringing more people and taking Black Rock too! The hot tub was big enough to share and was the perfect temperature. Both of our dogs had an amazing time too and having their own field to play in was the icing on the cake!

“I had a wonderful stay at Leghorn.”

The barn conversion is finished to an exceptionally high standard, was fully equipped, immaculately clean, comfortable, and in a stunning location. Waking up and opening the stable door and taking in the sea view was breathtaking. Easy reach of some amazing ‘hidden gem’ coves that Cornwall has to offer.

Stacey August 2018

“The property we stayed in was lovely, the beds were extremely comfortable and the hosts Paul & Jane were most welcoming, loved the cream tea and fresh milk for a cuppa after our long journey.”

We had a sicky newborn with us and a mischievous toddler, they were most accommodating with us having to do washing and also having to entertain our little boy around their beautiful farm. Definitely would return and it's ideal location to visit most places in Cornwall.

Justine July 2018

“We had a great week in Leghorn, we stayed from 20th July.”

The barn is perfectly placed to see Cornwall, we enjoyed day trips to Truro, Port Issac and Newquay. The owners were extremely welcoming but respected our privacy, we didn't feel at anytime as though we were sharing a property which was really nice. The 2 fields to walk the dog on the farm had beautiful views over the bay and our dog enjoyed his early morning walk there. Par beach was great for walking the dog and was never crowded, just a 5 minute drive away. Overall we could not fault it.

- Justine, July 2018
Nancy July 2018

“We all loved our week in the cottage.”

The view was amazing and a lovely way to start the day was with a cup of coffee and looking out to sea. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable, the dressing gowns were a nice touch. The kitchen provided everything which was needed. The cottage is in a great location and we never travelled far but saw some beautiful beaches and lovely towns such as Fowey and Charlestown. The Eden Project was a great day out too. We all have come home relaxed and refreshed after our fabulous break, which has been helped by the incredible weather.

“A memorable holiday in a beautiful cottage located in a tranquil rural location with sea views.”

Helen April 2018

“I would not normally write a negative review.”

However , after giving the owner an opportunity to financially compensate us for the lack of facilities- and being offered £15- I decided to. Upon arrival at the cottage we were told that the hot tub would not be ready until the next evening. We were incredibly disappointed as it was only a 2 night stay and we had only booked this particular cottage owing to it having the hot tub. We had taken our children kayaking and had promised them an evening in the tub. In addition to this the hot tub is housed in a roofed, dark, musty stone outhouse .

- Helen, April 2018
Andrew March 2018

“Fantastic location with beautiful seaviews from the cottage.”

We had a really lovely break staying at leghorn cottage, it was home from home with everything you could possibily need and more! The cottage was furnished and decorated to a very high standard, we didnt want to leave! There was a cream tea waiting for us on arrival which was a lovely touch and Paul and Jane were very welcoming and full of information with regards to sightseeing. We would definitely Recommend this cottage to family and friends and cannot wait to stay again in the near future!

The property

Scenic views sighting the sea on Cornwall's Riviera coastline can be admired from this beautiful converted barn.

Nestled slightly inland amidst peaceful countryside on a working farm in the hamlet of Trethurgy, Leghorn combines excellent accommodation standards with a tranquil setting for a relaxing break yet is a short drive to the long sandy beaches at Pentewen, Porthpean and Par (dog-friendly) and some of the county's major tourist attractions.

Well placed for a varied holiday experience, the renowned Eden Project is within walking distance; Charlestown, famous for its collection of tall ships, is a 15 minute drive whilst the exclusive waterfront town of Fowey; the cathedral city of Truro and the charming fishing village of Mevagissey are a 30 minute drive. Fun filled days on the coast can end with a soak in the hot tub, a barbecue on the sheltered deck patio or beside the warm glow of the stylish wood burner during the cooler months.

The interior has immense rustic appeal with a contemporary kitchen and two luxurious en-suite bathrooms adding a touch of glamour.

Pet owners, walkers and cyclists can embark on the scenic foot and cycle paths of the Clay Trails and children will love to meet the resident Leghorn and Black Rock chickens, ducks, geese and pigs.

It is ideal for larger groups when booked with the attached residence, Black Rock , which can accommodate four guests.

Within walking distance is the Knightor Winery & Restaurant which welcomes families and St Austell offers excellent wet weather alternatives including a cinema, ten pin bowling and indoor children's adventure centre.

There is ample parking and secure storage for bikes/surfboards.

As well as a small shingle beach, Charlestown, a pretty, historic port, often has wooden sailing ships in the harbour, and is popular as a film location.

With lots to do and something to keep the whole family entertained, St Austell is a great year-round destination.
