A lovely well appointed barn conversion.

The barn was lovely, clean and well furnished, it was very quiet and peaceful. Unlike a lot of converted properties in the area, it was easy to get to from the main road and was within easy distance of a lot of places to visit. I was very disappointed however by the description of the property, which was to say the least inaccurate. I had planned a holiday to visit friends and family during the day and catch up with some tv and stream some music in the evenings , but that was not possible.There was no mobile signal whatsoever and no landline either. The wifi was an extension from the nearby owners property and just wasn't reliable af all. There was a booster and if you sat within a few feet of that then you could sometimes get a signal, but nowhere else in the property. The speed when you could connect was about 4 mbps, definitely not the 24 mbps advertised ,so no good for streaming or downloading. I felt very vulnerable as the phone didn't work in the bedroom. A lovely place but entirely unsuitable for someone on their own.

The little barn is a wonderful rural retreat.

The little barn is a lovely, well thought out, barn conversion, close to coastal and other hiking trails and good amenities. It's a tucked away, quiet spot, yet very easily accessed and well placed to explore all of the south cornish coast. We found it very peaceful and relaxing place to stay, with everything we needed in the property. Having such a lovely host as Amanda was a bonus. Many thanks

The little barn

Nice property but a few changes would improve it .... 1. A king size bed ,the double bed was uncomfortable. 2. A larger tv,no one watches TV on a screen that small anymore. 3.A barbecue, if the weather had been better would have liked to cook outside. 4.The Packet Inn has London priced drinks.....£8 for a medium glass of wine! ....should be renamed" The Making A Packet Inn",but the pubs in Goldsythny are good.

A lovely character cottage.

The cottage was very homely with lots of character. It was well equipped, although we found the TV somewhat too small. Having hearing problems, we used the subtitles function but had to sit extremely close to see them. The broadband was also erratic, yet we noticed that there was fibre in the area. The bed, though smaller than we are used to, was very comfortable, although we would have appreciated blackout blinds in that room. We very much appreciated the little extras for when we arrived. Overall the cottage was lovely, nicely presented both inside and outside. If it had been within walking distance of amenities it would have been almost perfect.

Lovely property but...

Great property in lovely location but no Wifi apart from unreliable intermittent connection. Also in these worrying times of Covid we were told late check in and early check out to facilitate deep cleaning. We were impressed and reassured our safety was being ensured. This clearly hadnt taken place.....generally not over clean crumbs etc but oven was filthy and bins not emptied from previous guests and the bags we were told to put sheets in on departure were missing.. Told owner who explained cleaner had been in unsupervised at changeover as they had been away...well at best a quick clean had been done...but that was doubtful. This has left us feeling cheated and put at risk from Covid... Shame as it is a lovely lovely property

Exceeded our expectation

Perfect location for accessing so many lovely places we wanted to visit going either north, south, east or west!!!!The quietest place we have ever stayed. The lovely small private courtyard garden to sit in and have breakfast is at the back. Late afternoon and evening sun is In the front where there is a bench seat. Parking is right up close to the house which makes it easy for off loading on arrival and packing up when you leave. Inside the open plan living, dining and kitchen area is much bigger than expected so plenty of room for 2 people. Really nicely furnished. Very comfortable. Would definitely recommend this lovely converted barn and would love to stay there again.

The little extras made a difference

We’ve stayed in lots of cottages/properties over the years and it was the little extras and special attention that made this property stand out. Great location, clean and well equipped, the bread and jam on arrival was very welcomed after a long journey, as was the milk in the fridge. We found the property relaxing and spacious enough for the two of us plus the dog. The location was great but preferred to drive to walk the dog rather than walk locally, although we did find some local walks. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Little Barn is set in a quiet location away from the busy life, yet well placed for nearby cliff top walks, and visits to Penzance, Porthlevan and St Michaels Mount all close by.

Great place to stay

This was a comfortable, peaceful cottage, beautifully presented, where our friendly and welcoming hosts had provided everything we needed for a very enjoyable holiday. When weather permitted, we particularly liked relaxing in the secluded sitting- out area at the back. Although situated in the countryside, it is within easy access of main roads, the coastal path and interesting places to explore. We heartily recommend this property.

Little Barn was spacious

Generally we had a great stay at little barn. Nice decor, good size and well equipped. Down sides were.. 2 loo rolls not enough for a week Lots of tea and coffee but no Sugar Shame garden wasn't secure. We would have loved to have had the French doors open and the dogs allowed to roam. Sofa bed broken so wouldn't fold out flat. Out 7 year old spent the week on a mattress on the floor (which she fortunately loved). There was a single fold out bed but only a double duvet so it would have smothered our girl. I'm sure Dan would have offered further help if asked but as the floor option was ok we didn't persue. Would we return? Yes. But we would have to bring loo roll and a dog tether! Thank you.

Lovely property

A very comfortable and welcoming property in a rural and quiet location but reasonably close to amenities with Penzance around 5 miles away. We particularly liked Marazion and Porthleven, plus had some lovely day trips out, eg Lizard Point. The property has a large living area with comfy sofas, the bed is also very comfortable. It has wifi but not the strongest signal. The owners were welcoming and there was a very tasty loaf of bread with artisan marmalade awaiting us, plus very useful to be able to order some basics, milk, veg box, eggs etc to be there for us on our arrival. Recommended.

Meine Frau und ich waren für zwei Wochen Gast in dieser wunderschönen Cornish Granite cob Barn. Der Check in war super einfach. Der Schlüssel war in einem Safe verstaut und wir bekamen einfach den Code. War auch besser so, da wir Anfang der Ferienzeit unterwegs waren und über 9 Std. für den Weg von Ashford (Zwischenübernachtung) bis zu unserem Ziel gebraucht haben. Die gesamte Einrichtung unserer „Schäune“ ließ nichts zu wünschen übrig, sogar die Messer waren scharf.
