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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 retreat!

Would return here in a heartbeat, we loved it! Beccy and Ben are such genuinely lovely friendly people. They both greeted us on arrival, Beccy showed us around and explained where everything was and how things worked such a nice personal touch and made us feel relaxed and welcomed. So nice to know they were just across the way if we needed them. The Long Barn is beautiful! From it’s authentic stone exterior, to the spacious light airy interior, to the little private enclosed courtyard seating areas and garden. It’s simple, tasteful interior is so clean, cozy and comfortable. Everything to such a high standard with some lovely little personal touches which make it so homely. Such a peaceful, tranquil place we slept so well! Check out Beccy’s artwork on the walls really lovely. We ate in most nights, the kitchen was well equipped, everything thought of, even a little dishwasher. We were blessed with gorgeous weather and sat most evenings in our little courtyard gazing at the night skies, so clear because there is no light pollution and watching the bats with their acrobatics catching moths and insects. Blissful. Location is perfect for exploring the amazing south coast. Walking or driving it’s spectacular! Beccy and Ben have also compiled a really helpful welcome pack full of information and suggestions from contact numbers for Taxis to best places to eat and visit. Perfect retreat! We’ll be back!

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
