The Experience

A long, unmade road takes you through trees, eventually opening out into a small farmstead and the Barn. Its south-facing decking overlooks an orchard and the owners’ home is just next door. You can’t hear anything except the trees rustling and birds chirruping.

Mark and Bryher are warm and kind and leave you fresh flowers, butter, just-laid eggs, Cornish soaps, treats and toys for children. Your kitchen is at the end of the open-plan barn with plenty of workspace and all the gear even a fussy cook wants. You can buy pork, lamb and eggs from the farm and the fresh fish man comes on Thursdays; order a Riverford Organic veg box ahead.

There are 12 acres of farmland with woods for den building, plus animals to feed and a myriad of walking trails. Join the public footpath just beside you for a walk to the local pub then a spot of crabbing in the creek at Point Quay. Return to light the wood-burner on chilly evenings, or fire up the barbecue when it’s balmy and listen to the owls hoot as the stars make their grand entrance.

Reviews

I had a lovely visit to The Old Barn and was made really welcome. It's a gorgeous and charming bolthole for adults and families who want to really escape, but near the footpath so a walkers and wildlife lovers paradise. A 20-minute walk takes you to the sublime setting of Point Creek. Its not totally isolated, the owners live near but not attached and its not far to get supplies or get out and about. The Old Barn exudes charm, is arranged upside down to make best use of space and is equally great as a base to explore or a lovely space to just curl up and relax at home.

What a lovely spot with sunshine and flowers in bloom, we really enjoyed the local paths and coastal walks on your door step plus a great base to explore further. Mark & Bryher's cosy barn conversion tucked away also makes a nice place to relax and chill out. Somewhere we would return to.

Beautiful barn conversion with everything we could need, set in perfect Cornish countryside. Bryher and Mark were great hosts and it was lovely to arrive to a cream tea and flowers. Ideal spot for country walks or for exploring everything Cornwall has to offer. Very strongly recommended.

We feel so lucky to have found The Old Barn for our holiday in Cornwall. It is in the perfect spot ll's most lovely to visit some of Cornwall's most lovely towns and more secluded hayes and inlets. The barn was perfect for our stay with our 2-year-old with plenty of space indoor and out. Our daughter, Evie, loved feeding the chickens and playing with Makeral the farm cat. the best thing for me was the fact we could walk out the door and do some amazing walks, perfect for those wanting longer or shorter routes (we did a walk thorugh fields to a pub with our two-year-old and no buggy).

Tastefully converted barn in very peaceful surroundings. Ideal spot for walkers since footpaths abound directly from site. Bryher and Mark are wonderful hosts . We had dogs with us who enjoyed their many countryside walks and walks to the Creek. Within a half hour pleasant walk from the barn is " The Soup Bowl and Ladle" We visited 3 times- good gastro pub with very well trained staff. All in all a wonderful holiday - thank you Bryher and Mark. The only cautionary note would be - the Barn could be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. An Oasis in the desert of Life !!!

Location

The neighbourhood

You can walk to the village shop at Carnon Downs in about 20 minutes. Equidistant is Point - a small, very pretty village with a chapel on a promontory where Penpol Creek meets Restronguet Creek. Truro is a short drive for really good restaurants, Falmouth just a bit further for the National Maritime Museum and the ferry to St Mawes. You're near to gentle beaches on the south coast for days out with a picnic or wavy north coast sands for surfing and bodyboarding.

Local points of interest from Bryher & Mark Hole

  • Amble down the various footpaths to the creek. Then walk along the old tramway marvelling at the sheer beauty and the abundant birdlife. The Old Quay Inn at historic Devoran is well placed for a good lunch.
  • Loe Beach is a great watersports beach where you can hire kayaks and boats or have lessons. Alternatively, you can soak up the local, nautical atmosphere in the excellent beach café. (5 mins away by car or 45 mins walk alongside the creek.)
  • NT Trelissick is 5 mins away and has a beautiful country house and garden set in an old Cornish estate with stunning maritime views and lovely woodland walks. From the jetty you can hop on a Fal river boat to discover Falmouth by sea.
  • The award winning 13th Century Pandora Inn is 15 min drive. Its spectacular setting on the edge of Restronguet Creek, it's thatched roof and low beamed ceilings are timeless. The jetty is the perfect spot for kids to go crabbing making everyone happy.
  • Cycle along nearby Bissoe Trail on traffic free paths through Cornwall’s historical mining landscape. From the calm of Devoran on the S Coast to the rugged fishing village of Portreath on the N coast with a great Cornish pub halfway.
  • The King Harry Ferry allows you to avoid congested roads and enjoy a short scenic river crossing to the beautiful Roseland Peninsula. Here you can explore the quiet sandy beaches, and quaint fishing villages.

Introducing

Bryher & Mark Hole

Mark and Bryher have been here for quite some time now. They first of all renovated their own lovely home then started work on the Barn. Bryher is always out and about on the farmstead looking after her animals and the garden. They both love sharing their place with like-minded country lovers who will enjoy all that they've got to offer. You'll also meet Madge the terrier, Lurcher cross Isla and lots of sheep and hens.
