Another wonderful holiday at Porth Nanven Barn - a great base for getting out and about then hunkering down in the evenings in front of the wood burner. Comfortable cottage in a really peaceful spot, garden is great for dog and for us in less damp weather. Have booked again and highly recommend this lovely cottage.

We enjoyed our holiday and the cottage was cosy. There were several little annoyances. The back to front taps in the kitchen was one of them and we all managed to get ourselves wet at least once. Cupboards sticking and bumping heads are the oven hob was a bit of a problem. We liked the area and the walks though.
