Facilities were as one would expect, though there was a washing machine but nowhere to dry clothes. However, the drive to the Barn wasnât altogether suitable for a standard/low car. Sari was on hand and helpful.

The accommodation was fantastic and the hot tub was the icing on the cake as after a long day visiting places along the Cornish coast a long relaxing soak outside was the perfect end to the day. Would highly recommend. Also , where it is located ,most places are only 30 - 40 minutes drive so it's quite central. My self and my family would like to say a big thank you to Sari for making our stay unforgettable.

However for the £646 we paid, we expected more in space and better facilities. We found the barn slightly cramped - there were 3 of us staying and we had to work round each other in the kitchen. The butchers block was in the way. The dining table was cramped for 3 people to sit round comfortably, the shower was tiny and there was no dishwasher and no Wi-Fi. Apart from these points everything else was ok. Thank you,
