"Lovely cost cottage and very comfortable beds!"
Hot tub was so warm! Good location close to Newquay beaches and Crantock beach. Smuggler's Den pub in Cubert is a must visit for a meal - dog friendly.
Owner very responsive to our queries.
Thank you Sarah.

"Pen at Carines Barns was a lovely place to stay."
The Accommodation was spacious and very comfortable. The finish is great with the extra luxury of bath robes and slippers are a great touch.
The dog was very happy and settled throughout which was great.
Location is nice and quiet but close enough to everything if you need supplies. There are great beeches in the area, which are also dog friendly.
Overall had a great week here, very relaxing and would come back in a heartbeat.

"This property was absolutely beautiful."
We arrived after a long journey, booked at short notice and walked into a warm, welcoming stunning house. There was Prosecco in the fridge chilling and a selection of delicious cornish scones with clotted cream and jam, just one of the special touches that makes Pen a must stay. The house was immaculate throughout. Cream sofas and feather cushions, Egyptian cotton bedding, with feather pillows and duvet, complimentary dressing gowns and towels provided. Decorated beautifully and thoughtfully with oak beams and flooring, we couldn't wait to get back to this delightful cottage at the end of the day. Really well placed for exploring the area, we visited Padstow, St Ives, Truro, Newquay. Polly Jolly beach and the seals were 5 minutes away, as we're a handful of National Trust beaches. Nearest pub is a 5-10 min drive and Morrisons a few minutes away. We are a family of 5 with a dog and would definitely recommend this holiday, we will definitely be back!! 5
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind review.
We’re absolutely thrilled that Pen made such a positive impression and provided the warm welcome you needed after a long journey. It’s lovely to hear you enjoyed all the little touches—from the Prosecco and scones to the comfort of the beds and the thoughtful decor. We’re so glad the cottage felt like a true retreat for you and your family (including your dog!), and that you were able to explore so many fantastic local spots. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime!
