This was an amazing property to chill out and truly enjoy nature. Right on the moor there was only ourselves and the owners. (who were extremely helpful when called upon).The only difficulty we had was our dogs found the wooden stairs from the kitchen up to the lounge very slippery and we had to assist our older dog to get up and down.However we thoroughly enjoyed the break and there were lots of places to visit.

Lovely holiday barn very spacious and has everything you could possibly need apart from it advertised a fridge freezer it hasn’t got a freezer only a tall fridge without a freezing compartment so if your going out for the day and want to freeze your ice packs you can’t do that so that was the only let down for us. Apart from that we had an amazing time in the barn. This barn isn’t suitable if you have mobility issues because of the steps inside the property. If you’re looking for peace and quiet then this is the place. We used this as a base and traveled all over Cornwall.
