We stayed in the Treshing Barn at the end of April, for a week, and felt at home straight away. The barn was lovely and clean and was greeted by the owners and had a bottle of prosecco and home made lemon drizzle cake, very nice. The barn is located centrally for everything, heading to the coast North or South and into Cornwall, all within easy reach. The pool was not quite ready when we were there which was fine, bit chilly yet anyway, however it is a great benefit and if the weather is hot would be lovely to cool down in. The area of the whole estate is lovely and quiet , lots of birds and other animals, the only downside is that the lane is very narrow and we came across the odd horse and rider which was a little unnerving at times, but a bit of skilled reversing sorted it out. We would definitely recommend it and hope to go back again in the next few months.
