Another great stay at the Hen House. It’s in a great quiet location with lots of fantastic walks from the doorstep. The accommodation is clean, tidy, and spacious.

A great, comfortable cottage with lovely views, outdoor space and ample parking. The location was good for access to the coast and nearby beaches, and local amenities of St Just.Whilst there was sufficient equipment, a few more kitchen utensils and wood burner tools would be useful. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We planned a winter break in far West Cornwall needing 2 properties close to each other and by chance found The Perch & The Hen House which exactly matched our needs. The location just outside of St Just was perfect with views over the valley to the village. Both properties are superbly presented deserving my 5 star rating. In spite of the changeable weather we enjoyed coastal walks, visits to local towns all topped off with a great view of the Northern Lights
