  Well presented cottage with a good level of amenities including a well equipped kitchen.

  Great quality beds and showers, very comfortable. We visited to spend time with family who live in the village but also had nice days out. No issues parking for us, also used the great bus service and trains from Redruth. Couple of minor issues, the addition of a handrail on the stairs would be helpful , especially for night time trips to the downstairs loo. Sleep was often broken by the church bells opposite chiming every hour, as lovely as they are, it took me a full week to adjust to them . Having some recycling bags to put out with the rubbish would also be good. I bought some smaller mugs (left them there for others) as the gorgeous ones supplied were too much for myself and mother in law. The vacuum cleaner was very smelly when I tried using it, the bag was full to bursting , with no other bags supplied. We also found on our first morning that both bathroom sinks and the wet room drain were blocked so they didn't drain. I couldn't understand how cleaners had not noticed this ? Cleared them and purchased drain unblockers which seemed to do the job. We have stayed in a few cottages in the village over the years and this is by far the nicest .

  The Threshing barn is set in a lovely village location perfect for anyone wanting a peaceful holiday. It is about 20 minutes to Truro and Falmouth and also to Porthtowan beach, where you can book surfing lessons and there are cafes/restaurants, beach shops and toilets. As a family of 4 (children aged 15 and 12) the size of the barn was ideal and with 2 bathrooms there were no arguments! I would suggest some hooks to be added in the bathrooms for dressing gowns/ towels to be hung. There were plenty of coat hangers in the wardrobes. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped!The outside space is lovely and well-maintained, the patio area has seating and a BBQ - unfortunately the weather didn't permit us to enjoy the outdoor area! There is also two car spaces and a games room with a table tennis table, this area is shared with the cottage on the grounds. We had an issue with the oven the day after we arrived and customer services were very efficient and it was sorted the next working day and It didn't stop us from having a wonderful holiday at the Threshing Barn.

  Lynda & Andy were excellent hosts.

  Chycoose is modern, bright and has all the amenities you need. The kitchen is well stocked, washing machine huge help as we were there for two weeks. The shower room is great, so spacious and power of water was fantastic. WiFi worked well. Heating when we needed. Our hosts made sure we had everything. We were lucky with weather so sat outside a few times and went for walks in the large garden. Follow the hosts directions. SatNav will get you there but the host’s directions take you through the wider roads. It is a short 10-15 minute drive to almost everywhere so very well located. Truro has everything you need, cafes, restaurants, supermarkets and shops. Chycoose was a great choice for us. Loved the place and would recommend.

  Lovely accommodation, very clean and a step-up from many others we have stayed in of this style with ensuite bathroom, king size bed, walk-in wardrobe, dishwasher, larger beds (suit teenagers) and fantastic hot tub.

  Great location for exploring both the north and the south coast. If you have teenagers and/or are keen cyclists, I would recommend hiring bikes and spending the day cycling the coast to coast trail (old mine tram tracks from Portreath to Devoran) which is on the doorstep. Scenery is stunning and my boys loved it! Body boarding in Porthtowan and Perranporth is a must too. Would have given 5 stars but owner is busy working hard, finishing building other lodges surrounding this one so a little bit of building work happening in front of lodge (was not noisy though), otherwise view over mining valley is quite pretty.

  Very friendly owners and helpful.

  Nice quiet area and ideal for sightseeing on either coast. The property was very clean and well maintained and equipped. We did not give the top marks only because my wife found the cooker a little to high for her to see what was cooking in the pans and a little awkward to control the temperature of the rings. This was just our findings and probably ok for most people. We would still highly recommend and will to our friends. We would like to thank Claire and James for a very pleasant week break. Great garden and a lovely touch the flowers and coffee. Thank you again Pat and Peter
