This beautiful one bedroom dwelling dates back to the late 1800's and has been sympathetically restored by the present owners. Situated just a few miles above the village of Mousehole , the small rural hamlet of Chyenhal offers peace and tranquility for those who are looking for a relaxing holiday or short break, yet it is still in very easy reach of all the beautiful beaches , coves, restaurants and locations. The Long Barn is privately situated within the grounds of the owners own home with its own private garden areas , free Wifi and its own private parking space .


A 10 minute drive down the A30 will find you at Lands End and the wonderful sandy beach of Sennen. One of the most beautiful surfing destinations in the UK.
The famous fishing village of Mousehole is a 5 minute drive away , hosting a number of excellent restaurants and art galleries. Mousehole is famous for many events throughout the year including its ( biannual) Sea Salts and Sails festival , July 5th - 17th 2024, Tom Bawcocks Eve on the 23rd December , along with the wonderful Mousehole Christmas lights. Closing the year on New years Eve with a spectacular harbour fireworks display.

Porthcurno and Porthchapel beaches, the famous Minack Theatre and Penberth Cove, which is regularly used in the filming of Poldark, are all around a 25 minute drive by car.

Take a day trip to the Isle of Scilly, Lands End Air Port - 13 minutes drive - flights are daily . Or catch the ferry from Penzance . The ferry sails daily and is a 5 minute drive away from the property.

The property is centrally heated through out, along with a woodburner for those who like a real log fire ( logs and kindling supplied).

Perfect retreat.
Everything about our stay was wonderful, the warm welcome, beautifully decorated cottage, outstanding cleanliness, peaceful and beautiful area. When we go away the accommodation is one of the most important details for us and we really cannot praise The Long Barn enough, set in lush countryside and ideally placed to explore West Cornwall, we looked forward to returning to the sunny terrace for a glass of wine in the late afternoons. Thank you Beccy and Ben, we’ll see you again.

Tastefully Cornish
The perfect VRBO. Everything worked and attention to detail was evident. Beccy and Ben were there when needed and absent when not, yet always available for a chat. What more could anyone expect from a VRBO? The weather was marginal during our 4 night stay, but we accomplished everything on our must do list and to come back to Long Barn, each afternoon, was an absolute pleasure. Highly recommended.

Just unbelievably beautiful!
This was one of the most beautiful vacation in my life - and I already travelled a lot! Starting with the warmest welcome I ever had from Beccy and then the very wonderful barn which is decorated with so much love (nothing is missing). Both, Beccy and Ben, are so very friendly and open people, it is just a pleasure to spend time there. If I ever will come back to Cornwall - only to the „Long Barn“. Thanks for everything! 😘

Everything We Hoped For
What a wonderful way to start our driving tour of the UK. Beccy and Ben were so welcoming and thoughtful. The Long Barn was so beautifully decorated and furnished with everything we could need. When we arrived, Beccy showed us around, pointing out the features and how everything worked. It was such a peaceful place to reconnect with nature and also easy to explore the surrounding area. The courtyard was a relaxing space to sit and enjoy the sunshine. Loved the horses and the cats too! Thank you so much for your kindness.

Lovely stay
Beautiful secluded location. The owners were lovely and extremely helpful, probably some of the nicest owners we have met.. The property is tastefully decorated and extremely clean. We also loved the fact that the property is not overlooked. Very comfortable. Plenty of space for your car. Loved the fact that you can walk to Mousehole and Newlyn. We often walked into Newlyn and caught the coaster bus to Sennen and Lands End. You can also go to the Minack and Porthcurno as well as St Ives. We loved getting the bus everywhere as it enabled us to have pub lunches with a beer or glass of wine. Thoroughly recommended!

Perfect
Beccy and Ben’s accommodation in The Long Barn is exceptional. All the previous reviews are 5 stars and there is a reason for that. Extremely comfortable bed, gorgeous bathroom with an excellent shower and a very useful log fire for cosy nights. Quiet surroundings and within easy driving distance of both coasts. Also easy walk into Mousehole which must be one of the prettiest old fishing villages in Cornwall. Thanks to Beccy and Ben for being excellent hosts. Needless to say, we will be returning Perfect.

Perfect Cornish coastal retreat!
The barn was very light, bright and airy with a beachy coastal look to compliment it's location. It has 2 lovely little secluded garden areas just for guests...perfect for an afternoon cuppa or glass of prosecco after a day of sightseeing. It's very open plan inside but maintains a cosy feel. There's also designated off-road parking for guests. The location is very peaceful and is ideal for visiting local attractions such as Lands End, St Michael's Mount plus various beaches etc. The owners Becky and Ben live on site but are in no way intrusive. Becky greeted us on arrival and gave us a quick tour of the barn before leaving us to enjoy our holiday...and the welcome bottle of prosecco !! Both are very friendly and clearly very proud of their holiday home, which we wouldn't hesitate to rebook if we're down that way again.

A home from home
We had such a lovely stay in the Long Barn! And it was long, very spacious but cosy too! We got damp during the day a couple of times, so it was fab to come back and run a hot bath to warm up. It would have been lovely to sit outside in the private garden and have our breakfast but the weather had other ideas! We cooked a couple of nights and the kitchen had everything we needed, the meal being enjoyed with the complimentary bottle of wine. We slept really well every night, the bed was very comfy and the whole barn was plenty warm enough when the temperature outside dropped. Beccy and Ben were perfect hosts too! We will definitely recommend staying here to our friends and hope to stay again. The location was perfect for exploring the south coast of Cornwall - it’s a shame we had to come home! Thank you for looking after us so well xx

About the host

Hosted by Beccy Marshall

Host profile image
My name is Beccy Marshall, I work from home as an artist and my husband Ben is a carpenter/furniture maker. We were both born and brought up in West Cornwall and have lived on this peninsula for all of our lives. We have excellent local knowledge of the area, benefiting our guests if they wish to know of the best restaurants , walks, beaches an places to visit . We ran the Sandpiper Gallery in Mousehole for nine years. After selling the Gallery we decided to buy this beautiful property at Chyenhal. Moving here in October 2017, Ben decided to completely renovate The Long Barn that sits in the grounds of our main property including four and a half acres of our own private meadows.

Why they chose this property

When we came to view the property at Chyenhal , we knew straight away that we wished to purchase it . It is such a peaceful tranquil place to live , just slightly in land but close to the A30 , making it very quick and easy to get to the coast and to all of the local facilities. Ben has surfed and sailed here all of his life and has a traditional sailing boat which is moored in Mousehole harbour. He is also a Harbour Commissioner so it is important for us to be able to get to the beaches and the Harbour fairly quickly, yet still have the the peacefulness of this away from it all location.
Chyenhal is a small rural hamlet with only three other nearby neighbours. It is a little piece of old Cornwall that has been left untouched by modern life , making it a perfect retreat for your holiday.
