About this property

Converted Barn, Rural Location, Near Coast, Parking & Dog Friendly

The Little Barn is ideally located for exploring West Cornwall, set in a rural location but close to the village of Goldsithney with two pubs, local shop, post office and small beauty room, and within a few minutes drive of several fabulous beaches, including Praa Sands a great surfing beach.

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.

Gemütliches und geschmackvoll renoviertes Cottage mit hervorragender Ausstattung in toller Gegend!
Wir waren begeistert. Das Cottage ist mit so viel Liebe zu Detail und so geschmackvoll renoviert und eingerichtet. Die Besitzer sind sehr nett und zuvorkommend und empfangen ihre Gäste mit leckerem Landbrot und selbst eingekochter Marmelade. Darüber hinaus geben sie unzählige Tipps für tolle Ausflüge und Aktivitäten, wenn man dies möchte. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt!

Sehr gemütliche Wohnung auf dem Land

Gute und gemütliche Pubs sind zu Fuß in ca. 30min zu erreichen und auch Strände sind in wenigen Minuten per Auto zu erreichen. Die Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet.

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.

Ideal Cornish holiday
Little Barn is set in a quiet location away from the busy life, yet well placed for nearby cliff top walks, and visits to Penzance, Porthlevan and St Michaels Mount all close by. The property is very well equipped and was spotlessly clean on our arrival. We would highly recommend Little Barn for a holiday and would love to stay there again.

Great place to stay
This was a comfortable, peaceful cottage, beautifully presented, where our friendly and welcoming hosts had provided everything we needed for a very enjoyable holiday. When weather permitted, we particularly liked relaxing in the secluded sitting- out area at the back. Although situated in the countryside, it is within easy access of main roads, the coastal path and interesting places to explore. We heartily recommend this property.

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.
