We booked this barn conversion as it was dog friendly and an end of season bargain . It was comfortable and clean … and importantly not too luxurious …as we would only be worried about the dog . As it was , there was no evidence that other dogs had been in … no doggy smells at all . The owner was very friendly and approachable . Although living next door , he did not intrude and we actually hardly saw him . He gave us the use of his adjoining garage for secure ,convenient parking . There were two convenience shops in the village and a good pub 10 minutes walk away . Essentially a nice stay … much needed.

The location was really handy for visiting south Cornwall .The pub down the road was excellent serving good food and a turnover of real ales. There was a handy shop across the road with very friendly staff.

Had a lovely stay everything you need for a break is there and the owners were very accommodating. If anything was wrong they put it right even had a garage to put the car away at night. Would probably recommend the Barn. To my family and friends.
