  The Threshing barn is set in a lovely village location perfect for anyone wanting a peaceful holiday. It is about 20 minutes to Truro and Falmouth and also to Porthtowan beach, where you can book surfing lessons and there are cafes/restaurants, beach shops and toilets. As a family of 4 (children aged 15 and 12) the size of the barn was ideal and with 2 bathrooms there were no arguments! I would suggest some hooks to be added in the bathrooms for dressing gowns/ towels to be hung. There were plenty of coat hangers in the wardrobes. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped!The outside space is lovely and well-maintained, the patio area has seating and a BBQ - unfortunately the weather didn't permit us to enjoy the outdoor area! There is also two car spaces and a games room with a table tennis table, this area is shared with the cottage on the grounds. We had an issue with the oven the day after we arrived and customer services were very efficient and it was sorted the next working day and It didn't stop us from having a wonderful holiday at the Threshing Barn.

  We stayed in the Rosebud House for a week and it was very pleasant. The place was very clean when we arrived and we had a lovely pamper box with tea, coffee, shortbread etc. which was so nice. Also few bits of cleaning products were provided. Although the house is small it was enough for 3 of us and had everything we needed. All kitchen stuff were brand new. When we arrived the TV wasn't working and was replaced within couple of hours!!! In the end we had a much bigger and better one. The service was so quick and helpful. The location is fine and not far from a shop, bakery, cafe, pubs and the beach. To improve the place it could do with less squeaky floors, more outside lighting as the outside seating area had none, the kitchen fan being installed more safely and the living room area lighting being less bright. It wasn't dimmable and was either very dark or extremely bright.

  Miner’s Rest was everything we could have wished for, and more!

  It was immediately obvious that a lot of thought had gone into the needs of guests, and the owners should be commended for their attention to detail! However, it is highly unlikely that we shall be making a return visit due to the lack of parking available! We arrived on Friday evening, and parked in front of the property, and the car remained there over Saturday night. On the Sunday morning, our car was ticketed by a traffic enforcement officer who pointed out that the double yellow lines, which appeared to have been painted over and were barely, were still live and so we were obliged to pay the £35 fine! Finding a parking space close to the property was the cause of much frustration, given that we had my 80 year old mother-in-law with us! Thumbs up for the property, but thumbs firmly down for the lack of parking!

  The first thing you notice upon opening the door is the moisty smell which is truly horrible, obviously an issue due to dehumidifier and air freshener in the basement.

  No one should have to put up with this on a holiday when we have paid good money. Secondly is the cleanliness. Floors were not properly cleaned especially the downstairs, windows and door frame disgusting, cobwebs and muck from sky light off putting. And then we come to the bed….this has got to be the cheapest mattress on the market. If you have a bad back you will be a cripple, if you don’t you soon will!! Why do people not purchase a mattress that people deserve to sleep on. Also purchase a fitted sheet and quilt cover that actually fit the bed. The bathroom is dangerous getting out of the shower with wet feet, so you could end up with a broken leg and a bad back. Such a shame, this place could be so much better.

  We’re a young family with two boys exploring Southern Cornwall, Compass Point was the perfect base.

  The hosts were very welcoming, meeting us on arrival, they gave us a quick tour of the property covering all the essentials and providing information about local amenities and personal contact number should we have any further questions. The bungalow itself was excellent, extremely clean, each room well appointed and a fantastic decked garden area for relaxing in after a days exploring. The area has excellent shopping facilities and quick access to the A30 and the GWR rail network. Of particular note were the beaches at Godrevy and Gwithian, about 15-20 mins away. Probably the best holiday property we have stayed in, thank you.
