About this property
Nestled in a peaceful picturesque hamlet just 2 miles outside Padstow and within close proximity of the stunning beaches of the Seven Bays. The location of this idyllic 18th century barn conversion combines a diverse range of culinary delights, family friendly activities and breathtaking coastal walks. Padstow is renowned for its vibrant gastronomic scene, offering a range of dining experiences, from celebrity chef restaurants to bustling seafood eateries. Wander through charming streets lined with cosy cafes and traditional pubs, sampling local specialties. Beyond its culinary allure, Padstow is a perfect family retreat with golden sandy beaches such as Trevone Bay (3.6 miles), Harlyn Bay (4.3 miles), and nearby Polzeath. It's a paradise for hikers, surfers, and dog walkers. Explore the breath taking coastline, visit the iconic Bedruthan Steps, or head to Port Isaac (14 miles), known for "Doc Martin" and the Fisherman's Friends. Don’t miss the spectacular Minack Theatre, carved into a cliff overlooking the sea. Padstow's unique mix of flavours and activities promises an unforgettable holiday experience for everyone.
The beautiful, upside-down layout of this converted stone barn is sure to be your next favourite home from home. Enter on the ground floor, where you step into a characterful slate-floored hallway with exposed beams and delightful features. The three attractively presented bedrooms are all found here, one king-size master room with an en-suite wet room, another charming king-size and a twin room. There’s also an attractively furnished family bathroom with a shower over bath to wash away the day’s adventures on the ground floor. Head upstairs where the warm, light and spacious lounge greets you. Contemporary meets character here and the cosy wood burner set within a stunning natural slate fireplace is the main focal point. Wander through to the sociable, bright and inviting kitchen/diner where you can whip up a meal together whilst congregating around the round dining table and swapping stories on your coastal exploits.
Outside you have a pretty, enclosed patio area, a BBQ, dining table, parasol and cushioned chairs where you can enjoy a lazy breakfast and coffee, or dinner together. To the other side of the barn is a small, planted and lawned area .

Lovely holiday home, both spacious and cosy at the same time, a delight to return to after a day's walking or surfing. Quiet location with easy access to Padstow, with its shops and restaurants, and the surrounding beaches. We will be adding The Long Barn to our 'portfolio' of holiday cottages we will aim to return to.

Absolute perfection. The owners of this house have beautiful taste and absolutely everything we needed was provided. The welcome pack was so lovely and also so useful. The house is extremely comfortable and clean. Location was perfect for us as we were visiting people in padstow and wadebridge and both were only 10mins away. I wish I could own a house like this. We loved it.

Long Barn, located in a rural village is a peaceful and ideal base to explore the North Cornwall area. The property provided everything we needed during our stay, the spacious and comfortable lounge area being an obvious highlight after a hard (!) day on one of the many beaches close by. Our dogs felt instantly at ‘home’ and enjoyed their stay as much as we did. Whilst the delights of Padstow are technically in walking distance, transportation is preferable to maximising a stay at Long Barn
