Downrow Barn

Very well maintained, clean, comfortable and well equipped, we were welcomed by Trevor the owner who was both helpful and informative.

The only negative which we pointed out to the owner is that the property is described as being at ground level which implies the interior is on one level, an important consideration when booking for a disabled client. In fact the property is on two levels with three very deep steps from the lounge area to the bedroom and bathroom. There was no handrail alongside the steps making access quite difficult if reliant on a crutch or walking stick. Trevor did acknowledge our observation and said he would react accordingly.

A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH !

! TRUELY OUTSTANDING!! What a fabulous find, absolutely stunning Barn and location with everything you needed and more. The attention to detail was perfect. It was a lovely surprise and touch to arrive to a personal selected hamper with essentials of milk, Tea , biscuits. The bed was amazing, so inviting and comfortable with top quality linen used which makes such a difference, It was like sleeping on a fluffy cloud. The shower and water is hot and of a good pressure . I have stayed in many beautiful places in north Cornwall but I have to say this has to be the best by far. A real hidden gem and it would be hard to beat this place. It is such a beautiful well thought out accommodation. I had the most peaceful relaxing time and the Barn was so cosy and comfortable and spotlessly clean. Beautiful sunset and sunrises with sea view from the garden, The Hosts were the best I have ever encountered , Professional, Efficient , Friendly & Welcoming without being intrusive, nothing was too much trouble and they were on hand if you needed them. Thankyou for sharing this beautiful home. I Can not wait to return.

What a superb cottage.

So clean had all the equipment that you could ask for including a little light up mirror in the dressing room (which isn't mentioned.) The bed was so huge and very comfortable . Many thanks to Lyndsay and Trev for their hospitality.

Downrow Barn is a genuine rustic barn conversion, nestling in the hills above Tintagel, which is just a 20 minute walk away.

The property is clean, tidy and comfortable, with the original stone floors in the lounge are, good size bathroom and bedroom, the kitchen is equipped with everything that you would need during your stay. Outside is a back garden that was safe and secure for our dog, and good off road parking at the front of the barn. Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would stay again, and more than happy to recommend Downrow Barn.

What a lovely place, everything had been thought of.

I took lots of things that I needn’t have bothered with as everything you need was there even down to dishwasher tablets and washing pods! A great place to travel from to different places and Tintagel village was all you could want and more. I would suggest just one thing and that is a book with some instructions for the rubbish as I was a bit confused as to which bin to use. Trevor the host was there should you need him all in all a fabulous place to stay. I notice from previous reviews people moaning about the internet if you just keep an eye on it should it go off just reset it, we had no problems. Thank you Trevor and Mrs Trevor for a lovely holiday.

Downtown Barn is a nice little two person cottage.

The bathroom and bedroom are perfectly adequate, with a lovely shower a d bath, plus a huge, comfortable bed. However, the two seater settee is not very comfortable, as are the two single chairs. Also, although there is a small dishwasher, there is not enough crockery or cutlery to even last one day. The only other criticism is getting in touch with the owner Trevor. Despite trying both mobile and landline numbers, he never answered or replied, even when leaving a voicemail. This was always worrying in case of an emergency. We found some clothes in a drawer, obviously left from previous guests, so he had obviously not checked all the drawers when preparing the cottage for us.

Perfect.

We had a warm welcome from the owners on arrival. The accommodation had everything we needed plus unexpected extras of fresh flowers, cream tea hamper, biscuits, milk, tea to get us going after a long drive. The bed was incredibly comfy and we feel completely recharged. Great shower, perfect enclosed garden for our dog, great WIFI, fab smart TV and we even had enough toilet rolls and dishwasher tablets provided for the week which is a rarity!! Would highly recommend this property. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Fabulous accommodation, everything supplied for a super break away.

Secure garden our Dog really enjoyed,ample off road parking . Hosts were lovely and welcoming and welcome basket was a lovely touch We would definitely like to return to Dunrow, it was a perfect getaway. Thank you we had a great time. Loved the Witch museum at Boscastle, worth a visit.

Beautiful place to be ❤️

The property was extremely well equipped with everything ( and more!

) than you would need. Lovely secure garden. Everything was of a high standard, a quality property. Location was excellent- a sandy dog friendly beach within a few minutes drive and a short walk into Tintagel.

This is a wonderful holiday cottage that we would thoroughly recommend.

Clean, well equipped, comfortable with stunning views. It was a perfect base for walking this section of the coastal path.

We had a great stay & excellent location for us !

very comfortable stay thank you

A lovely comfortable cottage ideally located for exploring the North Cornwall Coast.

Spacious and homely with a secure garden for the dog it was the perfect place for us. Great facilities provided by the friendly, helpful hosts.

A lovely cottage with everything you could need , in a great location just a few minutes by car from Tintagel.

A private garden which was great for our dog and sitting out and enjoying the sea view.

Amazing one bed property with sea views.

We both enjoyed our stay. Trevor was a lovely fella. He came to meet us on Monday morning to ensure we were happy. Thanks for a lovely stay.

We had a most enjoyable time on our second visit to Downrow.

Sitting in the garden watching the sun set over the sea with birdsong the only sound was blissful. Tintagel is within easy walking distance and the wonderful St. Nectan's Glen a short drive away. The bed was SO comfortable and the cream tea in the welcome pack was just perfect after a long drive. Trevor is so friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend Downrow

Poor response or assistance from owner when we raised issue with television and Wi-Fi.

Raised complaint with Sykes and poor response. Left property after 4 days as terrestrial tv was even unwatchable. Final straw was he arranged to come over the next morning early so we set alarm to be up to meet with him and he didn’t arrive. Considering he only lives next door it was unacceptable.

This is the best property that we have stayed in with Sykes Cottages.

It is sympathetically restored to a high standard, beautifully maintained and with a decent garden too. Has all the mod cons.It is within walking distance of Tintagel, see the Castle and other attractions. Small supermarket there as well, with places to eat in the village. Enjoyed my stay enormously.

Perfect place for us and our dog.

She loved the garden. Lovely to be in the countryside and still be able to see the sea . A great holiday base ,extremely comfortable and clean . Cannot wait to visit again.

We had a fantastic stay, everything that we needed was available, Trev and Lindsay had thought of everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible, with a well appointed kitchen to enable prep of meals when not eating out.

A beautiful old building and lovely location making this a relaxing holiday, good location to to see the sights. Magnificent beaches, harbours/villages and lovely countryside. Easy to sample the famous cornish cuisine, we would certainly recommend Downrow Barn without hesitation

Had a fantastic week staying at Downrow Barn.

Accommodation was perfect. Trevor made us very welcome and the cream tea was a lovely touch. We will definitely return.

The owners where perfect , helpful and very nice people, the photos do not do this property justice , it is far better in reality than as advertised.

Beautiful cottage, the photos don’t do it justice at all!

The cottage had everything you’d want, or need, for a great holiday. Well equipped kitchen, lovely lounge area, with a good sized TV, a very comfortable bed, the dressing room was a surprising bonus! Plenty of parking right in front of the cottage, and a pretty, fenced, dog friendly garden, with a nice little patio, that is the ideal sunset watching spot! Open fields to the side of the garden, with very friendly cattle on some days!

Had a lovely week staying in the barn.

Well equipped and comfortable. Would recommend this place 100%. The welcome pack was a lovely gesture and gratefully received. Will definitely book again when staying in the area.

Downrow is a fabulous place.

The barn had everything we needed and more for our stay. The cream tea and other local goodies on arrival was a lovely touch. The bed was super comfy. The garden is perfect for watching the sun set over the sea. We did some lovely walks from the property and explored places further afield by car. 100% recommend Downrow.

Wonderful place to stay, we loved the Barn as so cosy, Trevor made us very welcome and was so helpful.

The area is ideal for exploring, we enjoyed Bude with it's fantastic canal, which is lovely and flat for walking by, wheelchair friendly and good places to eat. We had one of the best holidays we could wish for.

Beautiful place and location.

We were the first to stay for the year, so it took a little while to warm up the place. We will definitely stay again.

Excellent barn conversion.

Perfect for cosey retreat for two. Wonderful comfy bed. Warm and welcoming. A lovely welcome pack awaited us with a friendly unobtrusive hello from the owner. Beautiful view from garden. Everything about the cottage and where it was situated was just perfect. We will be back. We now have two favourite cottages thanks to Sykes and wonderful owners that share their properties

Downrow Barn exceeded expectations.

A perfect stay for 2 adults and a dog ..a very generous welcome pack was waiting for us including fresh scones and homemade jam. The cottage was very clean - we cooked for ourselves each evening.. the kitchen was extremely well equipped. Warm , comfortable and excellent position for exploring North Cornwall. Highly recommended- would stay again.

Downrow barn is lovely, it has been renovated beautifully to a high standard and is well equipped.

There were a few little things that could be tweaked and we fed that back to Trev. Please do not feel that inaccuracy of description or directions to the property are anything to do with the owner, he has tried to get them fixed but Sykes have done nothing. If you use Google maps to find the property you will end up on a farm further down the road. When we arrived at the barn there was a lovely welcome pack of local produce. Trev popped round when he got home from work to make sure everything was OK. The location is brilliant, and we definitely go back.

We had a wonderful stay at Downrow Barn which has been very nicely converted.

We were met by the hosts who are very friendly and welcoming and left us a lovely welcome pack. The kitchen has everything you need, bathroom has shower & slipper bath, spacious bedroom with a super king size bed. Lovely sea views from the garden. The WiFi worked perfectly. Tintagel is a pleasant 20min walk away, with places to visit and eat & drink, the coastal walks are just amazing, we walked to Boscastle and got the bus back. Thanks so much, we will return.

Decorated and maintained to the highest standard.

We were delighted to have a choice of duvets to suit everyone’s needs. The welcome package was carefully put together with local produce which was lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night break in this accommodation and it is well situated to enjoy many of Cornwalls beautiful countryside and beaches.

From the great welcome, cream tea and Cornish cider waiting for our arrival to the very end this was a great property.

Big bedroom and dressing area, great bathroom with an excellent shower, so sadly lacking sometimes. To a well-appointed kitchen with dishwasher a great bonus. The patio is great, and you can watch the sun go down across the sea, the calves were good company!! Both Trevor and Lindsay are nice people and made sure we had all we wanted. Would recommend this to anyone. The dog also enjoyed her stay also.

Excellent property extremely clean and well presented.

All facilities required were available. Privacy within handy reach of local places of interest.

A lovely clean and private cottage.

In a peaceful setting but convenient for Tintagel and nearby beaches. The hosts were friendly and helpful. I'd love to visit again

We had a lovely week staying in Downrow Barn.

After a long drive from Liverpool the tea, scones, jam, biscuits etc and milk in the fridge where much appreciated. The barn was in a rural location and was so peaceful, it was well equipped, had the comfiest bed and the secure garden was ideal for our dog to enjoy. Sitting outside watching the sun set over the sea was beautiful. Trevor and Lindsay where very welcoming and it was lovely to meet them. Would definitely recommend a stay here. Julie & Ian

We had a lovely stay at Dunrow Barn the Barn was clean & well equipped.

The Wi-Fi worked well & the hob worked although it could be a bit tricky to get the pan in the right spot but we were able to use it every day. I would highly recommend this property as it has all the comforts an idyllic location with many places to visit within a short drive.

What a little GEM!

! The barn is set in a quiet area within easy walking distance of Tintagel and the beach...and great access to the coastal path.. The barn has a lovely huge comfy bed ..slipper top bath,,fluffy towels..and very well equipped throughout,,and a secure garden... The welcome groceries and note left was a lovely gesture.. And the owner was there on our arrival to apologise about the lack of internet which was sorted during our stay.

Lovely cottage superb host

It was a very nicely decorated and comfortable cottage with a beautiful garden overlooking the sea at Tintagel.

Unfortunately there was no internet access, and even though it didn't bother us too much the owners should have been honest about this before our arrival. We cannot fault the hospitality upon arrival and the "treat box" that had been prepared for us. My husband and I have stayed in other Sykes Cottages where there's been a folder with information about the workings of appliances, and a brief overview about the local area. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the hobs on the oven to work properly and are not familiar with heat conducting pans and saucepans. Suffice to say we ate out every night, as to plough through instruction manuals to understand the workings of equipment was not our idea of a holiday!! we ended up heating things up in the microwave. This would've been a problem if we'd been staying at the barn for longer. An ironing board, iron and hairdryer would've also been a useful addition. Apart from this my husband and I did enjoy our peaceful and restful stay in this rural location. I hope our observations will be useful for the owners, and if these small improvements were made this would be a very sought after little nook.

We could not tell you what a wonderful stay we had at the barn.

So quaint,quiet and idyllic. The barn was so comfortable very well equipped. Lindsay and Trev kept us updated on everything we needed to know. Communication was 1st class. We would highly recommend a holiday here. Lots to see and do. Beautiful walks. We will definitely be returning we didn't want to leave.

Excellent cottage great break lovely location very well decorated and little gift of biscuits tea milk was a treat.

Owners very friendly and great communication. Would definitely use again

It was one of the nicest places we have stayed in .

. Everything you needed was there...Love all the little extras...Very quiet and peaceful...

Downrow Barn exceeded all our expectations.

It was very well equipped, spacious and comfortable. The location was a rural idyll, so quiet and peaceful but within easy reach of the area’s many attractions. We can’t wait to come back later in the year.
