The property in more detail:
The Little Barn is a beautiful Cornish barn near the coast, located in a tranquil rural location,  with off street parking - next to the owners cars and a private courtyard garden.

The Little Barn is ideally located for exploring West Cornwall, close to the village of Goldsithney with two pubs, cafe and a local shop, and within a few minutes drive of several fabulous beaches, including Perranuthnoe and Praa Sands a great surfing beach. The famous St Michael’s Mount and the bustling town of Penzance are approximately 10 minutes away. The Barn is equidistant between the stunning Lizard peninsula and rugged Lands End peninsula, the historic towns of St Ives, Falmouth and Truro are all within a 40 minute drive. If visiting St Ives (and its famous Tate Gallery & Barbara Hepworth Museum & Sculpture Garden) make sure you take the picturesque branch line train from nearby St Erth.

This beautiful Cornish Barn is near the coast and surrounded by glorious footpaths, bridle ways, agricultural farmland and fields of daffodils. The famous South West coastal path can be accessed at nearby Prussia Cove, a series of coves and beaches named after an infamous smuggler, making this an ideal property for walkers and dog owners.

The Little Barn is a Cornish "cob" barn and has been sympathetically refurbished to a high standard, retaining plenty of original character, full height ceilings and exposed beams.  It is stylish and comfortable, a real home from home and the perfect place to relax and unwind.

Accommodation

The kitchen is fully fitted with integral oven and hob, dishwasher, washing machine, undercounter fridge with ice tray freezer and microwave.

At the end of the corridor is the main bedroom, with double bed. There is space in the main bedroom for a travel cot or small Z bed for a young child, additional  laundry and towels will be provided if requested.  A travel cot and high chair are also available on request.

A lovely well appointed barn conversion.

The barn was lovely, clean and well furnished, it was very quiet and peaceful. Unlike a lot of converted properties in the area, it was easy to get to from the main road and was within easy distance of a lot of places to visit. I was very disappointed however by the description of the property, which was to say the least inaccurate. I had planned a holiday to visit friends and family during the day and catch up with some tv and stream some music in the evenings , but that was not possible.There was no mobile signal whatsoever and no landline either. The wifi was an extension from the nearby owners property and just wasn't reliable af all. There was a booster and if you sat within a few feet of that then you could sometimes get a signal, but nowhere else in the property. The speed when you could connect was about 4 mbps, definitely not the 24 mbps advertised ,so no good for streaming or downloading. I felt very vulnerable as the phone didn't work in the bedroom. A lovely place but entirely unsuitable for someone on their own.

Little Barn was spacious

Generally we had a great stay at little barn. Nice decor, good size and well equipped. Down sides were.. 2 loo rolls not enough for a week Lots of tea and coffee but no Sugar Shame garden wasn't secure. We would have loved to have had the French doors open and the dogs allowed to roam. Sofa bed broken so wouldn't fold out flat. Out 7 year old spent the week on a mattress on the floor (which she fortunately loved). There was a single fold out bed but only a double duvet so it would have smothered our girl. I'm sure Dan would have offered further help if asked but as the floor option was ok we didn't persue. Would we return? Yes. But we would have to bring loo roll and a dog tether! Thank you.

Meine Frau und ich waren für zwei Wochen Gast in dieser wunderschönen Cornish Granite cob Barn. Der Check in war super einfach. Der Schlüssel war in einem Safe verstaut und wir bekamen einfach den Code. War auch besser so, da wir Anfang der Ferienzeit unterwegs waren und über 9 Std. für den Weg von Ashford (Zwischenübernachtung) bis zu unserem Ziel gebraucht haben. Die gesamte Einrichtung unserer „Schäune“ ließ nichts zu wünschen übrig, sogar die Messer waren scharf.

Sehr ruhiges gemütliches Cottage in West-Cornwall

Das Little Barn ist eine alte umgebaute Scheune, die sehr ruhig aber dennoch zentral liegt. West-Cornwall lässt sich durch die Lage sehr gut erkunden. Die Küchenausstattung ist perfekt. Ich habe noch nie so viel gutes Geschirr in einer Wohnung gehabt. Das WLAN ist meistens sehr langsam, aber das scheint auch ein generelles Problem in Cornwall zu sein. Das Bett ist, wenn ich ganz ehrlich bin, schlecht. Mit 150 x 190 cm (5 feet x 6,2 feet) viel zu kurz und die Matratze ist so weich, dass man das Gefühl hat rauszufallen. Die Inhaberin Amanda war aber super lieb und hat für uns extra das Sofabed bezogen. Somit konnten wir sehr erholsam getrennt schlafen. Ganz lieben Dank Amanda Der kleine Innenhof ist sehr gemütlich und abgeschirmt. Eine kleine Oase. Leider war der Fußboden im Wohnzimmer nicht ganz sauber. Wenn das Bett und die Matratze größer wären, würde ich dem Little Barn 5 Sterne geben.

The little barn is a wonderful rural retreat.

The little barn is a lovely, well thought out, barn conversion, close to coastal and other hiking trails and good amenities. It's a tucked away, quiet spot, yet very easily accessed and well placed to explore all of the south cornish coast. We found it very peaceful and relaxing place to stay, with everything we needed in the property. Having such a lovely host as Amanda was a bonus. Many thanks

The little barn

Nice property but a few changes would improve it .... 1. A king size bed ,the double bed was uncomfortable. 2. A larger tv,no one watches TV on a screen that small anymore. 3.A barbecue, if the weather had been better would have liked to cook outside. 4.The Packet Inn has London priced drinks.....£8 for a medium glass of wine! ....should be renamed" The Making A Packet Inn",but the pubs in Goldsythny are good.

A lovely character cottage.

The cottage was very homely with lots of character. It was well equipped, although we found the TV somewhat too small. Having hearing problems, we used the subtitles function but had to sit extremely close to see them. The broadband was also erratic, yet we noticed that there was fibre in the area. The bed, though smaller than we are used to, was very comfortable, although we would have appreciated blackout blinds in that room. We very much appreciated the little extras for when we arrived. Overall the cottage was lovely, nicely presented both inside and outside. If it had been within walking distance of amenities it would have been almost perfect.

Lovely property but...

Great property in lovely location but no Wifi apart from unreliable intermittent connection. Also in these worrying times of Covid we were told late check in and early check out to facilitate deep cleaning. We were impressed and reassured our safety was being ensured. This clearly hadnt taken place.....generally not over clean crumbs etc but oven was filthy and bins not emptied from previous guests and the bags we were told to put sheets in on departure were missing.. Told owner who explained cleaner had been in unsupervised at changeover as they had been away...well at best a quick clean had been done...but that was doubtful. This has left us feeling cheated and put at risk from Covid... Shame as it is a lovely lovely property

Exceeded our expectation

Perfect location for accessing so many lovely places we wanted to visit going either north, south, east or west!!!!The quietest place we have ever stayed. The lovely small private courtyard garden to sit in and have breakfast is at the back. Late afternoon and evening sun is In the front where there is a bench seat. Parking is right up close to the house which makes it easy for off loading on arrival and packing up when you leave. Inside the open plan living, dining and kitchen area is much bigger than expected so plenty of room for 2 people. Really nicely furnished. Very comfortable. Would definitely recommend this lovely converted barn and would love to stay there again.

The little extras made a difference

We’ve stayed in lots of cottages/properties over the years and it was the little extras and special attention that made this property stand out. Great location, clean and well equipped, the bread and jam on arrival was very welcomed after a long journey, as was the milk in the fridge. We found the property relaxing and spacious enough for the two of us plus the dog. The location was great but preferred to drive to walk the dog rather than walk locally, although we did find some local walks. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
