Reviews
"So peaceful and comfortable. Made for a great Christmas week away, the stars at night were amazing. Underfloor heating made for a very cosy feel. Only thing missing for us was a freezer however being December, we used the shed with some ice as a makeshift drinks cooler which worked wonders. Would thoroughly recommend to any couple who enjoys peace and tranquillity!"
"We enjoyed our stay at Middle Barn. It was a wonderful restful place with access to many interesting places. Our stay was way too short. The owners made us feel very welcome."
"A beautiful cottage in a peaceful country setting. The cottage was very tastefully decorated to a very high standard. Although Daisy our Border Collie chose not to use the dog run it is a brilliant idea for those who wish to leave their pet at the cottage. The private woodland was ideal for early morning and evening walks James the owner could not have been more welcoming and helpful"
"Wonderful week in this beautiful , comfortable barn. Excellent views, prime location for touring Cornwall. Lovely warm welcome from Lizzie and a bottle of chillled wine was very much appreciated. We shall be returning ."
"Excellennt lodge, excellent owners! only thing missing is a hot tub! Will 100% be returning!"
"This barn conversion is on a hill overlooking a valley with wonderful views of farmlands and part of Launceston. It is spacious and well appointed with oven, hot plates, microwave, toaster and washing machine. Accesss is via a bitumen driveway with a good parking area adjacent to the barn. You can enjoy a walk along a path through wooded area at the bottom of the farm. The barn has underfloor heating which maintained a constant cosy temperature throughout our stay. There is also a good towel warmer in the bathroom. Shower over bath but the bath is shaped to provide a good standing area for showering which is really good. The bed was comfortable. The barn is beautifully presented and welcoming. It provides a great base from which to explore Cornwall and adjacent Devon, with Tintagel and Port Isaac about 40 minutes away, The Eden Project about 45 minutes drive and Lands End about 1hr 40 minutes away. Alternatively the barn also provides a pleasant relaxing environment and if the weather turns sour, it provides a cosy retreat with good TV options. There is no WiFi access so I had to detach from the internet and relax for the week. Overall this barn provides a lovely rural retreat in Cornwall and we would love to come back some day."
"Just arrived back from a lovely three nights at middle barn.The barn was faultless sparkerley clean tastefully decorated, and the most compfy bed, nice and cosy.Arrived to a warm welcome from the owner, who I might add didnt bother us but we could contact if needed.Arrived to a nice cold bottle of wine and many extras we didnt expect.The veiws were stunning, situated on top a hill over looking fields and some woods, our yorkshire terrier loved the walks in the woods, we see lots of dears in the wood to.All in all a truley lovely place.The town was five mins walk away but to be quite honest I would'nt bother.We didnt use any of the local pubs as we felt they all looked a bit rough.A car is a must as you will need to travel to go out for the day."
"We really enjoyed our peaceful week at Middle Barn. It had everything we needed with extras you wouldn't expect. Beautifully furnished and excellent location and not being on top of the owners was an added bonus who never bothered us after the initial very pleasant welcome although if we had needed any help we could have always contacted them. We would highly recommend this holiday cottage for anyone looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful idyllic location."
"No problems with booking or access. Launceston is not an exciting holiday location, but both coasts and several attractions are within reasonable distance. The cottage and it's situation are great. Equipment is fine for two. Didn't have chance to use garden, but sure it would be excellent given good weather. Would welcome opportunity to recycle waste!"
"The cottage was the ideal break for us, our newborn daughter and our energetic dog, BamBam! The property was beautifully decorated and cleaned to a very high standard and we arrived to tea, coffee and a bottle of wine (much needed after a long car journey!) Surrounded by fields and a small woodland it provided plenty of entertainment for our dog and was nearby to many other walking areas, too many to fit in in one week! As previously said by another reviewer, we didn't dine out much in the evening as it would have been a waste not to enjoy the views cooking for ourselves. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a holiday let and are planning to book again."
"My boyfriend and I stayed here for 1 week with our two doggies and it was just perfect. The Barn is of 5 star standard and we have travelled extensively. Location is ideal for sight seeing in Cornwall. The Barn is not overlooked at all. The Woods associated with the same were beautiful. We would definately return. All needs were catered for by the owner and attention to detail had been thought through. We only ate out once as it was nicer to cook and sit out on the decking area."
"We enjoyed our holiday and Middle Barn, after a hectic working life the peace and quiet was just what we needed. The cottage was beautifully furnished and decorated and very comfortable. Even my husband who is an interior designer thought it was excellent and Woolfie loved the underfloor heating and the quiet walks."
