  The house was perfect for our needs and everything provided that we requested and very clean and comfortable.

  A lovely welcome package of fresh flowers and cream tea etc was a lovely gesture and much appreciated. There was some discrepancy with the rubbish and recycling information. Bags for recycling were mentioned but no sign of them anywhere, or how and if to separate them. There were three bins outside but not obvious which was which. Yellow bags provided for general waste but black bags were in the bin provided and pink in the waste paper bins! Also we would have appreciated a more comprehensive list of items provided as we brought some things that we didn’t need to and didn’t bring others we needed! Extra towels for bathroom hand towels should be provided too. The very late check in and very early checkout is really unacceptable and frankly unnecessary in the post covid time we are now in. We had a very full car so we’re unable to do a food shop until we had unloaded the car. We also had our baby grandson with us so the early checkout wasn’t ideal with everything else we were required to do. ( stripping beds shouldn’t be the job of guests) We loved the house but would be unlikely to stay again because of the distance to the village and beach. We have stayed many times in and around St Agnes and love to walk from where we stay to the village and beach and buy groceries locally. The extremely narrow lane back towards the Miners Arms wasn’t easy when it’s two way and was a diversion route for the main road closure made it pretty chaotic and hazardous outside the cottage. We were also told by the very kind neighbours that the space next to Goshen Barn directly opposite was a parking bay for the cottage but not until day 5! So had struggled parking two fairly large cars in the small drive. It would have been very useful to have been told this on arrival if not before! We appreciate that much of this is out of your control but perhaps will be useful to be aware of for future guests.

  The cottage was in a lovely situation, but was not quite as we had expected from the description.

  It had a damp quality on entering; it was not nearly as clean as it should have been and in comparison to other cottages, in which we have stayed. It was described as having two bathrooms and, while this was true objectively, the shower room downstairs was more of a cold cloakroom rather than a place where one would have wanted to strip down and wash. There was uncleaned mould all around the room. The cottage came on to the let market in around 2006 according to the information pack and not much appears to have changed since then. The duvets were old and "heavy" thus making sleep rather difficult. Fortunately, we were only four rather than six and staying there with six people would have been a bit of a squeeze. May I suggest that the washing line is moved to other side of the garden, where there is much more sun, as it spends most of the day in the shade. On a positive note, there was plenty of hot water and the bathroom upstairs was light and spacious with a good availability of clean large towels. The bedrooms were fine. The local area was lovely and the location of the house is fine for holidaying in this part of Cornwall. However, it is described as "a five-minute drive from the picturesque beach at Trevaunance Cove". It is actually a 2½ mile drive and takes a good 15 - 20 minutes along some narrow lanes, but the surrounding area is certainly worth visiting All of these issues can be easily overcome and, with greater attention, this cottage would give a better experience. We never saw or had any contact with the housekeeper. In our previous experiences, we have stayed in places, where there has been a private owner, who is interested to meet the guests and (i) be on hand to deal with any issues and (ii) give information on the locality. We were under the impression that this cottage is more under the control of a commercial company.

  Our stay at Sunbury Barn was amazing.

  It was cosy, warm and in the perfect location for visiting nearby towns and beaches. The barn was clean, and welcoming with a cream tea on arrival. The towels were fresh and soft and the hot tub was a perfect addition. We were looked after during the storm that hit and warned that there maybe a power cut. This was an added touch of kindness and allowed us to ensure we were prepared. Local beaches and pubs were lovely too. We would love to visit again next year. The only tiny, small detail that was slightly disappointing was there were no complimentary toiletries as stated in the description. There was an empty box of dishwasher tablets and no hand soap and only one toilet roll. As we arrived really late at night there was chance to rectify this before we went to bed, so first stop was the coop the next morning. Again this wasn't a problem, just a small suggestion.

  What a gorgeous cottage, we could've stayed longer and definitely want to stay again !

  Situated on a quiet narrow country lane in beautiful part of Cornwall. Easy to find and to get around. The local pub which was a five minute walk served fantastic food and Sunday roast, really friendly staff and dog friendly too. The cottage had everything you needed, well equipped kitchen, even camping chairs and a pop up beach shelter. Plenty of room inside, spacious and bright, the bedrooms were a lovely size and we had a very comfortable bed. If I was to pick fault at all, it would be that the upstairs shower wasn't very powerful. That's it though ! We've never been so happy staying somewhere, and we have stayed at a lot of cottages. Planning our next visit soon and the scones with jam and clotted cream were so thoughtful and thoroughly delicious !

  Beautiful property in an idyllic location, very peaceful.

  The property was really clean and provided all the amenities we needed, rooms were spacious and comfortable, and we were left a tasty welcome gift. St.Agnes is a pretty village, the beach is not really suitable for young children and it is not accessible from the property with a pram due to the narrow roads. The Miners Arms is a very short walk and the food was excellent, they also have a good beer garden. We found Porth Towan beach which was great for children, only a short drive, good parking (before 11:30 arrival), rock pools, sandy park, cafés & toilets, much quieter than others as well. A really enjoyable stay, we loved the tranquility but be prepared for a lot of driving each day as very limited activities on foot.
