Porth Nanven Barn is great place to go and get away from it all. Wonderful setting in Cot Valley, a short walk to the beach and south west coastal path. Close to St Just and the shops. Ideal for us.

Lovely quiet location, short walk from an excellent beach with wonderful sunsets and the nearby coast path. A good base for exploring the far end of Cornwall. Well equipped cottage, this was our second stay. We were blessed with beautiful weather and ate all our meals out in the pretty garden with wonderful butterflies fluttering around.
