We had a fantastic stay at Kernel's Barn. The cottage is clean, well maintained and comfortable and we found it perfect for us (2 adults and teenage son). This area of Cornwall is beautiful with stunning beaches and headland walks within a five minute drive. Slightly further (10 mins) is the fantastic Gwithian beach which we returned to a few times in our quest to improve our surfing skills. This part of Cornwall is quieter than some of its noisy neighbours, but there is still so much to do. Would definitely recommend. ...

Lovely, well equipped & comfortable cottage. Quiet but excellent location for exploring southern Cornwall. Plenty to do in vicinity & great beaches nearby, especially Chapel Porth.

Cosy cottage, clean, comfortable and well equipped. We were on a weeks surfing holiday and ideally placed for good breaks at Fistral or Gwithian. Tried Portreath and Porthtowan but either totally blown or dumping. If your surfing Gwithian near the lighthouse watch out for the rip. Nice to come home to a warm homestead every night and being greeted by two amazingly friendly dogs made us very happy. Sally is lovely, not in your face like some owners but said hi and there if you need her....

Beautiful, spotless and well maintained. Everything included that you will possibly need for a lovely comfortable stay. Peaceful countryside location but close to beaches and main routes to explore Cornwall. Great hosts make you feel very welcome along with their friendly animals. Couldn't find fault with a thing (and trust me when I say that I am fussy haha)...... Loved it!!...
