Ribby Barn

Overall very good accommodation.

Main criticism was the complete lack of any information in the property. There was no information on location of Stopcock; Recycling, what could be recycled, how it separated etc; Local facilities, such as nearest doctors, supermarkets, pubs etc; Local walks in particular in the 50 acres mentioned in property description as owned by the owners. We would certainly expected an information folder giving these sort of details. We also like to see a visitors book where previous visitors have left recommendations, or otherwise, about visitor attractions, restaurants etc they have visited. Not everyone posts/reads on line reviews.

Great for peace and quiet in a lovely area.

Very clean and comfortable beds. Lighting in kitchen very poor had to bring a lamp from the bedroom . After a day out sitting in the garden could have been a pleasure. Grass almost knee high and only a tired very old bench to sit on such a disappointment. Apart from that local pub and little cafe were great and walk along creek up into the woods a must. Definitely drive to Lostwithiel if going to Looe .

Very cosy barn converted cottage, with two on suite bedrooms, and a nice garden and very isolated.

A very substantial welcome pack including wine, tea, coffee. jam, cream biscuits etc. We didn't sit in the garden because of the weather but if we had, there were no comfy garden chairs, only a wooden table and attached benches. Also we couldn't find a tea pot, but a very nice stay!

Great Barn conversion, tasteful interior.

Everything provided for a holiday let. Worked v well for 2 couples for the week. Room for 2 cars, but turning space may be tight for larger cars. Easy access to all major tourist sites, via Lostwithiel.

We found it homely and welcoming.

It was the cleanest property we have ever stayed in. Peaceful surroundings, which we badly needed. Will return.

Had a fantastic stay over New Years, such a lovely property, very clean and well presented, would highly recommend it for a holiday.

Also would recommend the Ship Inn in Lerryn, a short walk away, nice food and very friendly staff.

The joining instructions are out of date as the drive is not shared with the farm.

The kitchen utensils are the bare minimum and I don't think that putting knives into a container filled with Oasis is hygenic. There is no shower mat. I reported that the heated towel rail is not working and the basin in the bathroom was not draining properly. To my knowledge neither of these things were fixed while I was there. Overall lighting is poor, particularly in the kitchen.

What a lovely Barn to stay at.

Had everything you could possibly need! A lot of thought has gone into Robby Barn. A lovely unexpected welcome basket on arrival too. Very cosy and comfortable living area and the bedrooms too with well equipped en-suites. The village the barn is set in is rural and beautiful and plenty of the well known Cornwall landmarks within reach, a car is needed to do this or simply chill out at the barn with lovely scenic walks nearby. A barn for everyone! We were 3 adults and a 2yr old and stayed for a week. Would love to return some day

We loved Ribby Barn, the location for us was perfect, so peaceful and tranquil.

It was clean, and equipped with all that you needed. Lovely welcome basket full of goodies was great. Thank you! Only one thought was possibly have more seating outside and not just the picnic table. But that's just us being picky, didn't have an impact on a great stay.

Once again we had a very comfortable stay at Ribby Barn, this being our third time.

On arrival a lovely welcome pack was awaiting us, which was much appreciated. The barn is in a beautiful spot and very tastefully thought out. The flowers were a lovely touch. Thanks to the owner for sorting out failed light bulbs. Hope to be back again.

overall a beautiful property and well fitted out,the welcome hamper was very good and useful, thought it could do with kitchen roll and a DVD player, took a box set to watch but could not, watched YouTube instead

As soon as we walked into Ribby Barn, we were blown away.

Sometimes there are negatives when you first arrive at a holiday home, but this has no negatives whatsoever. Everything was perfect, from cleanliness, comfort and so peaceful. Kitchen fully equipped, all appliances easy to use. Lovely welcome pack left by the owners, which was a surprise. Beds super comfortable, main bathroom was superb, and beautifully decorated plus well finished. If you like remote, this is the place for you. The stars at night were like a canopy. Lovely garden, with a table and bench under the trees. Yes, it is up a track, with a no through road, but even with farms around you could not hear a thing. The walk down to the village took about 20 minutes, perhaps a little longer, uphill on the way back, but worth it. We could not praise the owners enough. This is a little gem. Lerryn itself is so so pretty, one shop and one pub. The car park is free, but gets busy, especially at the weekend. We spoke with the owner the day before arrival to sort the keys out etc, very friendly and informative. Love, love, loved it. THANK YOU.

We had a lovely week at Ribby Barn, we felt at home from the moment we arrived.

We were very grateful for the extremely generous Welcome pack, all of which we enjoyed. The cottage provided everything we needed and was very comfortable. Its situation provides peace and quiet, nothing but birdsong to hear. We spent quite a lot of time down by the creek at Lerryn, enjoying a take-away coffee from little shop. Enjoyed a lovely lunch at the Duchy of Cornwall Nursery and also visited Lanhydrock. Didn’t eat out anywhere in the evenings, preferring to cook ourselves and settle in front of the fire We would certainly recommend this cottage

Lovely barn in a peaceful location.

Fantastic base to explore the area. We loved having the garden and enjoyed playing cricket in it, every evening. 15 minute walk to the Ship Inn through a lovely orchard. Couldn’t fault the accommodation, and lovely welcome basket on arrival. I’ve not used a cafetière for years but ordered one to be delivered for when we get home as we used theirs everyday… would highly recommend this property - we had a lovely holiday - thank you!

This is a really lovely property in a rural and pretty part of Cornwall - it makes an ideal base for exploring places like Fowey, Looe, Polperro and the Eden project and Lost Gardens of Heligan are an easy drive away.

We travelled with two young children and the enclosed garden was ideal for them to safely run around in. The property itself felt spacious, the shower was good and the beds were comfortable. There was plenty of kitchen equipment as well as a supply of fresh scones, milk, tea and wine on arrival. Some additions that would have made it more family-friendly would have been the availability of stair gates and a high chair (the Skyes website said a high chair was available but this was not the case), but we managed to cope without. Our only regret was that we only booked one week rather than two!

This was lovely little bolt hole….

A little of the beaten track but worth it! Facilities were lovely and beds were very comfortable! The owner was right - the air is different as we all slept like babies

Excellent, clean barn.

We had a lovely stay. Loved the welcome goodies and the flowers. Beautiful surroundings. Cleaning products and sanitiser provided. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay. The kids loved the stepping stones at Lerryn. The Eden Project is a must as it's so close. Suggestions: (only minor) Up to date leaflets about things to do in the area and a welcome book would be useful...eg: local restaurants, nearest supermarkets, taxis, hospital, emergency doctor, etc... (I'm aware most people will have access to this on their phones but I'm old school!) Suggested walks to do with maps A small saucepan would have been useful Salt & Pepper Mills Garlic crusher and a few more utensils.

Lovely secluded cottage, with all home comforts and the best welcome pack ever.

Second time for us and hopefully not the last.

We had a fantastic stay at Ribby Barn.

If you want peace, quiet and a total recharge of batteries in a tranquil setting then this is the place for you. The property is well equipped, cosy, warm and one of the best self catering cottages we have stayed in. We also had a lovely welcome basket left. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Really lovely and well kept cosy barn with modern TV and electricals and everything you need.

Really appreciated the festive decorations (very subtle) for celebrating Christmas at Ribby barn which made us fgeel very welcome and we had a lovely stay.

Lovely hideaway out in the middle of nowhere!

!

the cottage was very good and lovely and warm and cosy, the kitchen could have done with a bigger or second radiator as that was the only area that was cold but we just left the door open to the lounge' also there was no welcome book about the cottage but the owner was there and explained about the TV & Wifi etc there were a few essential things not in the inventory like bread bin, Pint glasses and normal glasses (there were plastic ones but not the same to drink from) and dishes to put in the microwave to warm food up no recycling facilities at the cottage so we ended up bringing it all back to do at home it said fuel was included in the rent for the fire but we only had about 4 logs , I am glad we took a bag of coal as we used that as well other wise a very nice cottage

We enjoyed our stay at Robby Barn in a lovely part of Cornwall.

The barn was comfortable and a good centre for exploring the area.

We had a brilliant week.

The accommodation was lovely and in a secluded setting. You would need a car if staying at this cottage as it is quite tucked away from the nearest village. There were just a few kitchen utensils that I felt were missing but apart from that it was an amazing cottage and would recommend staying there. Hope to be back in the near future.

If you want peace and solitude this is the place for you.

We wanted to be away from the crowds and Robby Barn fitted the bill.

The property was clean and homely with all the equipment and appliances you need. The garden is a nice place to sit and relax. There’s was a nice welcome pack of goodies that went down well and very much appreciated (Thank you Mike) Can highly recommend a stay at Ribby Barn Family of 4 with two teenage boys.

Ribby Barn was just as expected.

Great communication both with Sykes and owners. Met by owner on arrival and shown where everything was. Lovely welcome bowl of local tea, coffee,cream tea and wine. Walk down to village was about 15 minutes via pathway. It can be steep in places so if you have mobility problems would be easier to drive down. We booked for meals at The Ship Inn for meals which is advisable. The local store by river was lovely ,providing hot pasties,home made cakes etc. Wi-Fi worked well but due to location no phone signal. Would love to visit again.

We had a wonderful two weeks at Ribby Barn, the owners were very friendly and discreet but on hand if needed.

We enjoyed the property and the garden a lot and would certainly consider a return visit. Highly recommended!

A lovely cottage if you want peace and quiet, which we did.

The welcome pack was amazing, just what you want after a long journey.

Brilliant property, owners very helpful, welcome pack was very much appreciated, I personally think it has been the best property I have ever stayed in for self catering, thank you for a wonderful stay

The barn was lovely and clean and very well equipped.

It is set in a beautiful and very quiet location and is surrounded by wildlife. The garden is very pretty where you can sit and relax. There are plenty of walks and the tiny village of Lerryn is a must. The owners of the barn were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat then I would highly recommend Ribby Barn.

This place is absolutely amazing !

! If you want peace and quiet this is the place to be. The barn has been converted to a very high standard maintaining character, warmth and very homely. We won't hesitate to book again next year we have already recommended to our friends and family.

Both cottage and owner were delightful.

Excellent quiet location, just what we wanted for our break.

Host very friendly and approachable. Amazing welcome pack found on arrival. The scenery around Ribby Barn was wonderful, I liked looking out of the barn door, half opened, to look into the woods opposite and having our own garden. Accommodation very clean, spacious and comfortable. Husband appreciated the large TV (now I have to get him one the same!) and adult son appreciated evenings with the WiFi. We will be going back at some stage.

Ribby barn is an amazing cottage and if you are thinking about booking, just do it!

! The cottage is spacious with a wonderful relaxing garden. The welcome pack was much appreciated And very thoughtful. There are walks through the woods from the cottage with views over the countryside around Lerryn. The hosts were very helpful and friendly. 10 out of 10 experience, we will definitely be back

Lovely peaceful location.

Katherine the host did everything to make us welcome. A lovely welcome pack when we arrived, plus she turned up later with a crab bucket, bucket and spade etc for our little grandson to use when we visited the beaches nearby. We found it a very good central location to visit lots of lovely towns and beaches nearby. All the beds and furnishings and equipment were top quality and very comfortable.

the barn conversion is a slice of heaven and left us wanting to stay for another week.

We will definitely go back. The property was very spacious and well thought out. it had a heartwarming homely feel! it is set in a gorgeous woodland where you are in the midst of nature and that’s exactly what we wanted from our holiday! The kitchen and all other equipment was sparkling and brand new! the village of Lerryn with the gorgeous ship inn pub and a village store was five mins drive away next to a scenic river. I have travelled all over the UK for the past 20 years but this is the most comfortable and divine rural setting I have come across. We were welcome by the gorgeous owner Katie and she most kindly had some goodies already laid out for us in the kitchen! thank you once again
