    “This was mine and my Wife's second visit to Ribby Barn and it will not be our last.”

    Upon arriving we met the owner who was doing some work in the garden. She offered any help we may need. A welcome pack was left, which included milk, tea, coffee, jam, scones, cream, biscuits and a bottle of wine. The barn is so well equipped and so comfortable with a real rustic charm. It was a chilly start to June, but warmed up very quickly after putting the heating on. Really comfortable beds. Digital TV where we were able to sign into different platforms.

    Upon arriving we met the owner who was doing some work in the garden. She offered any help we may need. A welcome pack was left, which included milk, tea, coffee, jam, scones, cream, biscuits and a bottle of wine. The barn is so well equipped and so comfortable with a real rustic charm. It was a chilly start to June, but warmed up very quickly after putting the heating on. Really comfortable beds. Digital TV where we were able to sign into different platforms. The phone signal is poor, but could get one if standing outside. Fully equipped kitchen. Perfect WIFI so contact with family via WhatsApp was great. We both love a bath, which the barn has. The surrounding area is beautiful. We took a walk up into the woods and also did the River Walk and, of course, days out. If you're a fan of Indian food, Moonlight Tandoori in Lostwithiel is a must. Basic decor but fabulous food. We were both sad to leave. We felt refreshed and relaxed. Just one pointer, the driveway is not shared, as per description. Very narrow one car track, but turn left into the Barn, no one shares it. Absolutely wonderful stay. Hopefully return very soon.

About the location

LERRYN

Lostwithiel 3 miles; Bodmin 10 miles.

For those seeking peace, tranquillity and the unspoilt splendour of Cornwall’s ‘softer’ southern coast there can be few finer spots than Lerryn. Sitting at the very point where the River Lerryn joins the highest tidal reach of a creek leading up from the Fowey estuary, the village has a timeless, natural beauty no matter the season. Footpaths meander through the woods and along the river bank while out on the water the small boats owned by local residents provide another means of travelling down stream to Fowey (3.5miles) for shopping or just something to do in wonderful surroundings. The village boasts an award winning pub/restaurant and has a small shop and post office. Nearby Lostwithiel is renowned also for its good restaurants and antique shops. The stunning Eden Project (8 miles), the Shipwreck Harbour at Charlestown, the lovely fishing village and harbour of Mevagissey, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the stately home and gardens at Lanhydrock (NT) can all be reached in under half an hour while Padstow and the rolling surf of the north coast are just over 20 miles away.
