About this property
Duloe 2.1 miles. Positioned in the village of St. Keyne amid the countryside of Cornwall, is this charming, barn-conversion, Woodpeckers Barn. Retaining much of its character with its vaulted, beamed ceilings and woodburning stove, this pet-friendly property makes a fabulous base for two couples or a family of four. Leave your vehicle in the off-road parking space before exploring your holiday home; step inside to discover the bright open-plan living space. The compact kitchen area hosts an electric oven and hob to rustle up heart-warming meals and when meals are served, gather at the dining table and toast to your hideaway. Relax and unwind on the sumptuous sofa as the woodburning stove crackles before you and turn on the TV for a movie night. When the sun is shining, head out onto the rear garden and soak in the quaint setting as your pooch stretches their legs. As the evening cools, retire inside and choose between a king-size and a twin bedroom with its own en-suite; climb into bed and why not escape into a much-loved book? Awaken with a cup of tea and home-cooked breakfast at the dining table, as plans are set for the day ahead. Lace up your walking boots and explore Kilminorth Woods or for a sandy beach, venture into the coastal town of Looe and unveil the past at Looe Museum. Spend the day in the ancient town of Liskeard, lined with independent stores for a unique gift to take home, as well as the peaceful Carnglaze Caverns and Golitha Falls. All this and more awaits at Woodpeckers Barns. This property can be booked with Pheasant Barn ref:1112676 on the same site: together they can sleep up to six people.
Duloe is a small settlement in Cornwall, situated between Liskeard and Looe. The ancient remnants of Duloe Stone Circle may be seen in the village, while Cornish Orchards offers a wide range of ciders. A Gastropub serves local ales and home-cooked meals, while a well-stocked community shop provides basic necessities. The extensive Kilminorth Woods are just outside the village for a trek, while the 18th century Port Eliot House & Gardens are slightly further distant.

Spotlessly clean and comfortable. It would benefit from having a new roasting tin and a more substantial outside light so I could see the dogs in the garden at night. Will certainly use Sykes Cottages again, thank you.

I would definitely recommend the barn to family and friends and will probably book it again.

Few negatives, we had very long grass which was cut on a very wet day, therefore, the grass was continually then being brought in, also there is an area in the garden where the dogs can get out so please be aware of this. The roasting tins had seen better days, we used tin foil in them but for the price of a new one could be changed. Also if you are going with a young family the twin room is down some stairs accessed from the living room and would be very detached from the king size room.
