About this property
Nestled in the grounds of the peaceful Kenegie Manor holiday resort just outside Penzance, this comfortable barn conversion provides great-value family holidays in vibrant west Cornwall. Surrounded by countryside yet just a short drive from the waterfront, Long Barn Cottage enjoys the best of both worlds – with sea glimpses and views across to iconic St Michael’s Mount from the shared gardens. The pristine and well-equipped kitchen with utility offers plenty of space to get creative at meal times, and leads through to the cosy, open plan sitting/dining area with wood burner-style fire. From here, French doors lead out on to a sheltered, private patio; an ideal spot for a morning coffee or evening tipple. Two restful bedrooms offer a good night’s sleep after a long day of exploration. Designed very much with the family holiday in mind, the Kenegie Manor resort offers plenty to keep its guests busy, with unlimited use of the onsite indoor heated swimming pool, sauna and tennis courts for all. There is also a seasonal bar/restaurant. The local area has much to offer, too; enjoy a leisurely stroll along Penzance promenade or take a dip in the refurbished Jubilee Pool, Cornwall’s much-celebrated Art Deco seawater lido. In Penzance town you will find an array of galleries, shops and restaurants, and St Michael’s Mount and the open-air Minack Theatre are just a short drive away. Perfectly located for discovering all that this fascinating part of Cornwall has to offer, Long Barn Cottage is an ideal family holiday home throughout the year.
The most westerly major town in Cornwall, Penzance faces the shores of Mounts Bay, the famous St Michael's Mount rising from the sea in its centre. A bustling harbour town with quaint streets lined with shops and cafes and a promenade stretching towards the fishing port of Newlyn. Known for its mild year-round climate, palm trees and tropical plants thrive here and are best viewed at the beautiful sub tropical Morrab Gardens, close to the town centre. Popular with photographers, the art deco Jubilee seawater pool should not be missed for a dip in summer months. Home to the Georgian Theatre built around 1786, the theatre is thought to be one of the oldest Georgian theatres in the country. Golowan Festival is held in Penzance each June a ten day festival with carnivals, music and dance. Penzance is an ideal base for exploring the far south west of Cornwall, with St Ives and Carbis Bay a short drive.
