“A lovely cottage,well equipped and very clean and tidy.”

But,the plumbing leaved a little to be desired with the bathroom shower being electric,it was very hard to get the correct temperature,and if other taps or dishwasher were being used,it made the electric shower unuseable. Although the downstairs bathroom had obviously had a major refurbishment recently,the shower would not function,which meant relying on the one electric shower,which when there is five of you is not convenient.

“(Sorry we forgot to leave a message in the visitor's book!”

) It was such a lovely feeling walking into the property. It was beautiful from the outside and spotlessly clean inside. So spacious and airy, we all loved the cottage (including 2 very impressed teenage boys!) Facilities were brilliant and you'd thought of everything! We had a wonderful week - thank you for the lovely welcome tray and for making us feel so at home (As an artist myself, I loved reading about Eric Ward and seeing his artwork in the house!)

“Property was perfect.”

Location a bit far and hilly from Portloe to walk each evening so needed to drive

Vincent June 2023

“We had a great stay at Barn Cottage, which is situated nicely in the Rosalind Peninsula with access to the coast and other places of interest.”

The property itself was very comfortable with all the necessary amenities, however the plumbing was a bit of a trial at times.

“My husband and I had a most enjoyable week, staying at Little Barn Cottage.”

It was extremely comfortable, well appointed and situated in a fantastic location to explore the Roseland Peninsula. The cottage was very tastefully decorated and we loved the spaciousness that it afforded.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Barn cottage.”

It excelled our expectations in every way. The cottage is in a lovely location. The garden was a delight . The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had all the utensils to make life easy if cooking a meal.

“We had a great week in Little Barn Cottage, it was in a perfect location to explore, very peaceful surroundings.”

Nice & spacious for our family of 4, very clean throughout, with a well equipped kitchen & cosy in an evening with a lit fire. Would highly recommend staying here.

- Debbie, October 2022
John October 2022

“A very well-equipped and tastefully furnished cottage in a quiet location.”

The cottage was much more spacious than we had anticipated from the photographs. It would be helpful if Sykes included a floorplan in all cottage descriptions.

“Wünderschönes Cottage.”

wie auf den Bildern. Sehr stiehlvoll dekoriert. Nur einmal um die Ecke und schon beginnt der Public Footpath , über Gatter und Schafswiesen mit Meerblick in 15 Minuten zum Hafen. So schön.!!! Portloe ist ein netter Hafen mit einem schönem Pub. Leckeres Bier. Auch die Muscheln waren sehr gut. Tolle Wanderungen entlang des Coast Paths. !!! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!! Beautiful cottage. like in the pictures. Very stylishly decorated. Just around the corner and the public footpath begins, over gates and sheep meadows with sea views to the harbor. So beautiful. Portloe is a nice Haven with a nice pub. Tasty beer. The mussels were also very good. Great walks along the Coast Path. We felt very comfortable!!

“It is a lovely place to stay, the garden beautiful and the surrounding area offers lots of walks and places to visit.”

- Steve, July 2022
Robert July 2022

“Lovely cottage in a great location.”

Kitchen a bit tired but well equipped. Only gripe is the shower in the downstairs bathroom. It is not thermostatic controlled and awkward to balance the temperature. If when using the shower and other cold taps are used or Wc flushed it becomes dangerously hot.

- Robert, July 2022
Sally June 2022

“A wonderful stay at an extremely comfortable and impressive cottage.”

We couldn't have asked for more. The entire experience was easy, stress-free, welcoming and memorable. Thank you for such a lovely holiday - it's deeply appreciated.

“Beautiful cottage.”

Everything you could possibly need in it. Quiet location and close to beaches. Be prepared for Cornish Lanes - very narrow in places.

Sid May 2022

“It was a real pleasure to stay in this splendid cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

Comfortable, spacious, well equipped and superbly furnished as well as being in a lovely setting. We couldn’t find a note in the folders about the cottage’s history which we would have found interesting.

- Sid, May 2022

“Little Barn Cottage is a lovely property, very comfortable and spacious, with tasteful decor and a delightfully maintained garden.”

It was a pleasure to stay there and we would happily return.

Amy March 2022

“Super holiday home - highly recommended.”

Lovely garden, very well-equipped kitchen, peaceful location, roomy and bright living area, cozy wood stove, thoughtful artsy decor, and good wifi to boot. The foldout sofa bed would be better for 1 person rather than 2, but I'm grateful that our family of 6 were able to stay there. We had a brilliant time!

- Amy, March 2022
Helen October 2021

“We have just spent a delightful October half term break at Little Barn Cottage.”

The welcome tray of tea, coffee, biscuits and wine were lovely to see after a long drive. The property has to be the most well equipped one that I have ever stayed in. For an older property there is even an abundance of electrical sockets, which with modern day gadgetry, is always good to see. My partner and I personally found the Kingsize bed a tad on the hard side, but our older children found the singles and sofa bed very comfortable. Despite the not so clement weather we have had a lovely stay and hopefully one day we will return.

- Helen, October 2021
Pamela July 2021

“This was our 3rd visit to Little Barn Cottage and, as always, we loved it.”

The same cannot be said for Sykes however. They were useless in rearranging the date of our holiday from 2020 to 2021. We ended up contacting the owners direct, who agreed it was fine and only then did Sykes sort it out.

- Pamela, July 2021
Helen May 2021

“Lovely comfortable stay in Little Barn Cottage.”

We would have booked for next year but the price rises are now above our budget. The area is superb for walking and also great beaches.

- Helen, May 2021
Anne May 2021

“This is our second visit here - that says it all.”

A wonderful large, beautifully decorated cottage. A good location, lovely garden, well maintained. Fabulous.

- Anne, May 2021
Gail April 2021

“Little Barn Cottage is a beautifully presented cottage with comfortable furnishings and attractive decor, warm and very clean on arrival.”

A great location for walking the coast path which can be reached in 10 minutes and visiting nearby Heligan Gardens. Didn’t want to leave!

- Gail, April 2021
Daina September 2020

“Little Barn Cottage is a lovely 2 bed property in a quiet village.”

The kitchen is well equipped, the bedrooms are comfortable and the living area is a relaxing place to sit after a day walking on the SW coast path. The only snag we encountered was finding the switch to turn the power on for the cooker. It had been turned off, and after a long search, we found it hidden behind the pans in the lower cupboard. If it is usual practice to turn the oven power off between guests, the location of the switch should be provided in the blue guest book. The local pub - the Ship in Poltroe, is about a mile away and requires a good set of lungs & legs to negotiate the steep hill on the way back. A torch was thoughtfully provided as street lighting is absent. A welcome pack was waiting for us on arrival, which added a nice touch. All in all, a super place to enjoy Cornwall from.

- Daina, September 2020
Ruth September 2019

“This was our 1st visit to The Roseland Peninsula and won't be our last.”

The cottage exceeded our expectations on all points. It was spacious, well equipped inside & out. The location was ideal. The furthest we ever drove was only 30 mins . 2 days we didn't even move the car but walked from the cottage. The views from the cliff tops were amazing and the birds and butterflies were enjoying the late Sept sun. I saw my 1st clouded yellow butterfly.

- Ruth, September 2019
Jennifer September 2019

“Everything in the property had been chosen with thought, care and good taste - from furniture, carpets and general decor to the art work on the walls and kitchen equipment, linen, towels etc.”

you know the property is looked after and cared for and that the owners stay there themselves.The welcome note and generous arrival pack were greatly appreciated and Greg willingly came to help us sort the TV, which we could not get to work in conjunction with the Humax machine. this is the sort of property where you feel like inviting your friends to come and share a meal. the outside sitting area / garden were an added bonus with again, very comfortable seating etc. Our only regret was that we could only stay 4 nights - now we have moved on to cottage in Devon ( not Helpful Holidays as not much was available for our dates when we inquired) and the difference is striking - fewer niceties and much more cramped!

- Jennifer, September 2019
Andrew August 2019

“Lovely cottage.”

Plenty of space and well equipped. 15 minute walk down the hill (footpath across fields) to Portloe cove and pub. Great!

Andrea August 2018

“A fantastic property - beautiful surroundings and a great looking cottage.”

Just a couple of things not working but that all went down in their little book they ask guests to write in. Very clean and the best equipped cottage I have stayed in. They have everything for you.

- Andrea, August 2018
Lauren July 2018

“The cottage was absolutely perfect.”

Far bigger than we expected and a great little garden for the children to play in. The kitchen was extremely well equipped for a holiday rental home. Perfect quiet location, and lovely details.

- Lauren, July 2018
Claire May 2018

“We had a lovely holiday in Little Barn Cottage.”

About the location

PORTLOE

Truro 12 miles; St. Austell 13 miles; Newquay 20 miles

Often described as 'the jewel in the crown of the Roseland Peninsula', and rightfully so. Portloe is a very pretty, picturesque coastal village well-known for its fishing and walking opportunities. It boasts a delightful harbour with 3 working boats that go out to catch crab and lobster. Portloe was the filming location for a number of different films and TV series in the 20th century including the comedy series 'Wild West', featuring Dawn French and Catherine Tate. It is a small village with not much in terms of amenities, however it does have a very highly-rated food pub as well as a the Lugger Hotel with similarly positive reviews. Portloe proves itself to be a fantastic base for exploring some of Cornwall's most beautiful places. Truro, St. Austell and Newquay are all within easy reach, all with a fantastic choice of amenities and things to do. All three are well worth the visit whilst you're in this part of the country.

Note: Arrival after 4pm.
