The Long Barn

Romantic and dreamy, a stay at The Long Barn is just what you need. Think long lie-ins in the sumptuous four poster bed, morning strolls to nearby Swanpool Beach for coffee and cake, a boat trip from Prince of Wales Pier to the Roseland Peninsular and home for a refreshing dip in the sea. Back to your holiday home with a long hot shower, get dressed for supper and a gentle walk down to the waterside, Hooked on the Rocks for some great food. The Long Barn is a well appointed, gorgeous holiday cottage providing quality, comfort and space.

This charming, barn conversion sits next to a farmhouse in a tranquil and idyllic setting. Wake up to birdsong, and relax in the sun-trap garden of an evening, with a G&T in hand, as the birds and the trees provide the harmony. This get back to nature retreat gives you access to the south-west coastal path, in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Think daily sea swimming, paddleboarding from Gylly or Maenporth beaches, and days out on the beautiful Helford River. Time on or around the water is just what your soul is calling for.

Freshly renovated (spring 2024) to offer a high-end kitchen, nifty utility space, and decadent bathroom, The Long Barn, has everything to make for a brilliant base from which to explore the Falmouth and Helford River area.

Park at Maenporth, fuel up in the café and follow the coast path 4 miles to the exotic sub-tropical gardens of Glendurgan and Trebah, or find a spot closer and give your legs a rest.

The Trelowarren Inn in the nearby village of Budock serves great roasts and Cornish ales. The harbourside town of Falmouth offers much to do, with interesting galleries, boutique shops and restaurants, two cinemas and The National Maritime Museum. Falmouth can be reached via car in less than 10 minutes.
