The barn was so perfect for us. It has been renovated so well and is clean and extremely well stocked. It is in a great location, close to some great beaches, woods and gardens. In addition the property is really well situated to many attractions for children such as paradise park, lappa valley steam train and the seal sanctuary, to name just a few. the beaches are also very close and very clean with lifeguards on all of them. The owners were excellent, so welcoming and informative. We have a very inquisitive four year old and they were so accepting of her and she learned a lot about the animals, being allowed to help feed them all. We look forward to going back there as it is a perfect holiday property. We would definitely recommend the barn to anyone....

Really lovely property so clean and comfortable, had everything you needed. Great location, we were met by very friendly owner and even a cream tea, can't wait to go back.

An outstanding cottage, really comfortable and furnished to a really high standard. The kitchen had everything you could need if you are keen on cooking. The cottage is absolutely immaculately clean. The location is perfect for a really quiet couple of weeks in Cornwall - with easy access to great cycle routes (+ bike hire if needed), great beaches and all the cream teas you can eat....

I would happily recommend Kernel's Barn as a peaceful retreat which is tucked away up country lanes, but close enough to beaches and the A30 to be within striking distance of many of Cornwall's attractions. It is a very well equipped and comfortable property. We particularly liked the wood-burning stove (once we had got the hang of it!), and although it is situated fairly close to the owner's property, we were never really felt as though we were intruding. There's a variety of friendly farm animals to be encountered, so would be ideal for families with younger children. The owners are very helpful and welcoming and are always ready to give advice on local attractions, good places to eat, etc. On the whole, a pleasant place to stay if you want to relax and unwind, or alternatively, to use as a base for cycling, walking or surfing....

Kernel's barn is the most perfect holiday cottage, close to two surf beaches. The owners are very helpful and the animals are great. Be prepared to get loved by Lucy the loveliest Rottweiler
