Higher Boden Barn Conversion In An Idyllic Rural Setting

The perfect getaway in a quiet rural setting. Plenty of safe space for children to play or in our case with a young dog. Very comfortable bedrooms and a well provisioned kitchen. We had a great time.

Very warm and comfortable for family and dogs during a wet October week,with plenty to do and in a good position in beautiful countryside.Great,but unobtrusive support from owners ,friendly caretakers and helpful neighbours.Well equipped, sensibly decorated property. Good pubs!

Fantastic holiday stay

Fabulous, cosy, homely and well equipped farm house with open fire, log stove and Aga - perfect for our family Christmas get-together (it fitted up 12 with local day visitors). As long as you want to be remote and don't mind not being right on a beach (though not too far!) this is a wonderful choice.

Very easy.

Rented with family to celebrate my 60th birthday. 9 people and 4 dogs. A few things could have been a little less tatty but overall a cozy large house and owner very obliging and helpful. Local pubs do amazing food too!

It is down some very narrow roads but persevere and you will get there. The property was as described and very clean. All the basic household stuff was there except dishwasher tablets and make sure you have at least the basics for food because it is a long way to the supermarket! Getting into the house was easy and keeping in contact with the owner was not a problem. The children had plenty of room to run around outside. Beds were comfortable. The only things that could be said against it are that the lighting was of a very low intensity and the table tennis and pool tables in the outhouse were not useable due to the state they were in. 10 people, six adults and four children stayed there and all enjoyed the holiday.

If you book The Barn you will have hit the jackpot! Truly a tremendous place for a family holiday - fabulous accommodation (bags of character, plenty of space and gorgeous bed linen), superb gardens (for lots of running around, a great swing and so much wildlife) and a great rural location close to the river and some wonderful beaches). Squeaky clean too thanks to Gemma and Louie. Go for it - you won't be disappointed.

For the first time ever we decided to go away for Christmas. We were looking for a dog friendly place in deepest Cornwall where we could explore during the day and relax by the fire at night. Higher Barn was the perfect retreat! We arrived after a 6 hour drive and felt immediately at home. Jane had organized for a Christmas Tree in the lounge area and a bottle of champagne and Italian Christmas cake. This set the tone for 6 days of exploring the Lizard and nights playing board games around the fire. The Lizard is a fabulous place to explore and there are numerous coves and bays within a 30 minute drive. We had a BBQ on the beach on Christmas Day! There are some super pubs (including one in the local village) if you dont want to cook at the barn. All in all a good find and if we are in Cornwall again we would use again.

Our family stayed over the New Year period & we all had the most wonderful time. With 3 teenagers slightly apprehensive at keeping them occupied, we need not have worried. The surrounding countryside was so peaceful and picturesque with great walks on the doorstep. The cottage itself was very clean & well-maintained and any query was quickly answered by the owner. Would recommend walk to The Shipwrights pub in Helford for moules-frites and return for the cosiest night-in by the log fire. The cottage was very well-equipped inside and had a great outdoor area for table tennis. We will definitely be returning in the summer.
