About this property

Apartment-Ensuite-The Hiding Places - Nook

Sneak past the cactus in the courtyard into Nook when nobody’s looking and marvel at the craftsmanship and design flair you will find there. There is riotous colour everywhere with echoes of South America and a simple on trend industrial feel. The snug has a giant retro Smeg fridge and stylish chaise longue with flat screen TV and Mike’s clever recycled apple box breakfast bar/kitchen area will surely inspire you. Your own sauna awaits in the private courtyard garden.

If you feel the need to be spoilt, come on in. Lower Barns is a unique hiding place where you can rest, relax and slip away from the pressures of everyday life and discover what really matter…precious time to spend with partners, family and friends while we look after you. Maybe you are planning to get engaged, a honeymoon, a mini-moon, a hen party, a wedding or perhaps just an escape.

Evening meals are served in The Shack or The Party Shed. Loaded with twinkly lights, candles and a warming fire. Bring your own booze and make sure you book in advance.

We have had rave reviews from our customers, many of whom return time after time to soak up the special atmosphere and sense of calm. BBC Olive magazine wrote...

"Cornwall isn't just about Padstow. For the fresh approach, head south to Lower Barns (near St,Austell), a hidden gem of a B&B perfectly located for exploring the Roseland Peninsula, fishing villages of Mevagissey and Charlestown and the Eden Project. Rooms are as stylish as you'd find in a city boutique."

A total wellbeing experience.

Total switch off and relaxation in accommodation that was pure, quirky luxury. It was well equipped, beautifully decorated in vivid colours; think South American colours.

Sensational experience

You couldn't ask for more, amazing place to stay we said in October, weather wasn't the best, but when the sun is out and your in your very own private court yard, sat is the hot tub, completely bless and tranquil, you could be anywhere. This was my wife's and I first time here and will be coming back again and again, the owners are so pleasant and accommodating, we even had breakfast delivered to our accommodation. Would highly recommend.

Stunning Romantic Retreat

Stayed here for 2 nights to celebrate 10th Wedding Anniversary. The room was sensational - From the Huge bed, to the stand alone bath tub and very individual, eclectic decoration. We stayed in Nook, which also had it's own private courtyard with Sauna and Hot tub. The perfect place to relax with my wife.

A little piece of heaven in rural Cornwall that not everyone knows about thankfully.

Wow, just wow! I tried to find something different, unique, a little piece of heaven to celebrate our first mini break without the children and pooch in toe, and smashed it out of the park when booking a three night stay at Lower Barns! Initially drawn in by the rating, glowing reviews and gallery on the website, but trust me the reality is even better. This place is special, so calm and peaceful, in fact that good we extended our stay by a night!

Good - but a couple of ragged edges.

Stayed two nights in Nook. Beautifully secluded location - our Satnav said we were 'navigating off road' for the last mile! Received a warm welcome. The owners have gone above and beyond in creating a wonderful and interesting environment. Facilities excellent - rooms top notch.

Excellent retreat just off the beaten track!

We stayed in the Nook, which was an amazing room with its own seating area, private courtyard area and private sauna! The place is not really in walking distance of many places due to its remote location, but this wasn't a problem for us and the peace and quiet was just what we'd hoped for. The breakfast was varied, and served to our room which was nice, however if you don't choose the Nook or Cranny rooms, I think breakfast is served in the main building all around 1 big table! Overall fab!

Fabulous relaxing time after lockdown

We returned to Lower Barns 2 years after our daughter was married there. Janie and Mike are lovely And so friendly. We stayed in The Nook which is quirky, has everything you could want and your own hot tub and sauna in your own area to relax in. Breakfast was served in our accommodation each day. I would highly recommend Lower Barns a safe, quiet environment which is close to Mevagissey, restaurants and other amenities and towns. Fabulous comfortable accommodation will definitely return agai
