What our customers say about their holidays

• Robert - Verified booking

  It was a lovely cottage, well furnished, smart and homely, very clean, tidy and pleasant.

  We enjoyed the overall experience and the hosts were excellent. We were greeted with 2 fresh scones with jam and clotted cream, greatly enjoyed. We only had a couple of minor issues, we discovered early on that a frequently used country road backs directly onto the house and therefore traffic noise was often. Being a snorer I slept in the single bed in the side room while my partner stayed in the double bed. She found the double too soft while I found the single too hard, however I don't class this as a complaint because everybody has there own preference. The other very minor point was in the single bed room there was no bedside cabinet so I just temporarily moved one of the two beside the double bed and returned it to its original place on leaving. We found the kitchen good and with everything you needed for a stay, the dining/lounge/TV area was great and the sofa particularly comfortable. Heating was all you needed, the shower was great as was the wash basin in the nicely decorated bathroom. Perhaps a small consideration would be blackout material on the stairwell curtains and single room. The overall decor was really lovely and made staying feel like home from home. And the surrounding countryside was refreshing too.

  We usually holiday in St Ives when in Cornwall so were initially a little taken aback by the remoteness of the location and the 'walls' of hedgerow that frame many of North Cornwall's roads. However, we were delighted to find that Barney's Cottage lived up to its online description. The barn's conversion has been carried out to a high spec and beautifully finished right down to the deliciously comfy giant sofas and enormous comfortable bed. Our beloved 17 year old Jack Russell passed away just before this holiday, which was booked with Millie in mind, but we know she would have approved of the under floor heating next to her little paws and safely secured back garden. If a peaceful secluded retreat is what you crave from your holiday in Cornwall, we would definitely recommend Barney's Cottage for its privacy and supreme comfort.

  We could not recommend Barney’s Cottage enough, it really is a gem. It is a beautiful cottage, very clean and well kept, and ideal for privacy and dogs. This ticks all the boxes and is truly a great place to stay. It is located in an amazing off the beaten track yet easily accessible area with natural beauty all around. It is very spacious inside and equipped with everything you need. The shower is excellent and spacious. The outside is fabulous and private, not being over looked, and very large with so much room for a dog or dogs and children to run around play and exercise plenty, maybe around a third of an acre or more of land. The owners are extremely friendly and very helpful and made us feel most welcome. We have already booked our next stay here as a result. 10 out of 10.

  The property was located down a narrow country lane . But had fantastic views from the large enclosed garden. Unfortunately the only downside was the slippery, slate steps and patio due to the rain. Green moss on the slate made it very slippy. Hand rail would be beneficial. Had to pay £30 per dog ( we took 3) Dogs had to kept on a lead at all times due to a working farm which is no problem but witnessed a man walking his dog off lead. At the end of the stay you are asked to strip the bed unfortunately when we did this there was several stains on the duvet. ( This should have been changed before we arrived) A few of the plates were chipped too.

  This is a really beautiful place to stay. The cottage is exceptionally clean and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The owners are lovely and are happy to help with any issues (we had a problem with the shower but this was quickly fixed). The garden is large and secure - fantastic for our three dogs! We were also able to use the very large secure field next to the garden, which again our dogs loved! The cottage is in a fantastic location for exploring North Cornwall and particularly Bodmin Moor. It is also incredibly peaceful, no traffic sound, just the odd owl twit twooing through the night! Overall, we had a very relaxing stay.
