  • "We have returned to beacon barn for a number of years now."

    The location on the edge of St Agnes is a great place from which to tour around Cornwall. Very clean, very comfortable and very pet friendly. Small communal garden at the front which we find great for our dogs. No good though if you need an enclosed garden. Great walks from the doorstep, two footpaths close by. Have to cross a usy road to get to one and walk for a short while to get to another. Fantastic beach of Chapel Porth close by. Can take dogs on in September. Lots of amenities close by. We found cottages closer in to st agnes can be a bit noisy. We were disappointed this year however as the seal had gone on the shower in the main bathroom. We couldn't use it atall even though we asked the maintenance people to fix it on the first day we arrived.

  • "This was amazing accommodation and we would definitely stay there again."

    However are only criticism was the double bed as it was far to hard and we had to sleep in the two single beds. I think this was also mentioned previously in a review.

    Hi Thank you for your feedback, and we hope that you had a lovely holiday. Regarding the bed - you are correct, I have just reread the reviews and we have had another review stating that the beds a bit hard, so we will look into getting that changed. It is difficult with beds though, as some people like a hard bed, and some people like a soft bed, so I think that we shall go for something in the middle. Thanks again for staying with us.

  • "Beacon Barn is a charming and generously sized property that is well-equipped for a comfortable stay."

    However, I observed a potential mold issue in the children's bedroom, which raised some concerns for me. My main disappointment stemmed from the fact that the property was advertised as being within easy walking distance to town, which was a key factor in our decision to book. Unfortunately, we discovered that there was no road or public footpath available for us to use, especially with our two young children in tow. The fast-moving traffic made it unsafe for us to attempt walking into town, which was disappointing. Overall, while Beacon Barn is a lovely property, its just a shame it wasn’t accessible to St Agnes.

    Hi Thank you for your feedback and thankyou for staying with us. To address the points that you have raised, we have asked the maintenance company to investigate the issue of "potential mould" , as we have never had this mentioned previously by any other guests, but rest assured the maintenance company will get to the bottom of it and deal with it, if necessary. Regarding access to the village, there is a gate opposite the entrance to the barns and there is a public footpath (more like a track) that runs adjacent to the road and brings you out near the church at the top of the village. This info is in the welcome/information booklet that is in the property, as we wanted to let guests know of that route. Thanks again for staying with us. Property Owner

  • "A fantastic property in a great location."

    Set slightly out of St Agnes but within easy walking distance with lovely views of the Beacon. The property was well equipped had everything we needed (except perhaps a cafetiere or some way of making coffee) and the owner was incredibly helpful and responsive when we were missing bedding for one of our party. Useful information provided on local beaches and how to get into St Agnes via paths (to avoid the road). Would love to stay here again and would definitely recommend

  • "A beautifully finished and well appointed building."

    The only issue we had was that the drain in the en suite shower was blocked which flooded the bathroom floor on the first morning. I called the property management company and asked them for additional towels and to come and fix it. As nothing had changed by the second morning I called again to the management company but there was no answer so I called the property owner and luckily he got everything fixed later that same day.

  • "A very enjoyable stay at Beacon Barn."

    The location and amenities were perfect. The property was a luxury to us as there were only the two of us staying. However, it would be perfect for families as all the rooms were large and uncluttered!! The barn was very well equipped with clear instructions.

  • "A gorgeous, comfortable, clean barn."

    We got used to the fast traffic but it did take a few nights. As the week went by, listed below are a few recommendations for an even more comfortable stay.: Would have loved a caffatiere or coffee machine to have been available. A mat inside the front door would be useful for taking dirty shoes off or drying down wet dogs esp if it’s raining and you can’t do it outside. Some blinds/ curtains on the main windows would be useful as our dogs woke with the 4.30 am dawn chorus as it was so light. We had a fabulous week, the weather was great and we were able to explore the beautiful coast and footpaths. We would definitely stay again and recommend to our friends. Thank you for allowing us the use of your house. Cathy & Alan

  • "This was an absolutely fantastic property."

    Inside was modern and extremely clean. The bed was very comfortable with extra pillows and duvets to hand if needed. This kitchen was fully equipped and everything that you could possibly need. We loved watching the pigs with their piglets, goat and cows in the field. This was an exceptional property and would fully recommend a stay. The only downside was that it was impossible to walk to St Agnus on the road with our dogs and the public footway requested a call to confirm use.

    Hi Carol, Thank you for your feedback and we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay. Also thanks for bringing to our attention the footpath requesting a call to confirm use, as this isn't something that we were aware of, previously you could use the public footpath which is on the opposite the entrance to the car park to walk into the village. I'll look into that now. Thanks again for staying with us. Property Owner

    Only issue was no seating area outside of this cottage. We will try book a ground floor cottage next time. St Agnes is beautiful too.

    Hi Thanks for your feedback and we really glad that you enjoyed your stay. We do provide outdoor seating that is situated in the surf shed and can be placed anywhere in the communal garden and grounds, but I don't think that I have made this clear in the property information booklet, so I will amend the brochure asap, so thank you for this bringing to our attention.

    Accessed via a flight of steps outside. Fantastic location for exploring Cornwall. St Agnes itself is a lovely little coastal village. Only slight downer was that the bed was too hard. A mattress topper would have made this a perfect stay.

  • "Described as nestled in St Agnes , it was sited before the sign that proclaimed the town itself and beside a busy road."

    It is a beautiful barn conversion and I understand planning rules have to be adhered to, however lighting could be improved. It is very fashionable slightly at the expense of comfort, I like upright seating. Also all in one room living means xtra planning when using washing machine and cooking as unable to hear telly or each other. Bad leak in door of shower in bathroom. Perhaps some sort of gate at top of stairs would ensure child and dog safety. Giant bath towels too big to wrap hair in to prevent a soaking and only realised on last day you could tilt shower head to avoid torrent. My 28 year older daughter absolutely loved everything about it however. Love the town of St Agnes and the many super walks and interesting attractions , museum especially informative. Thankyou for most useful welcome pack, and very comfortable beds Had a ground floor property with its own outside space been available when we booked I suspect our experience would have been more positive.

During the summer months you can look forward to dining alfresco in the communal garden, which has a barbecue provided for you to cook up a delicious feast for the family.

While you're in the area, venture into the centre of St Agnes village, which has a convenience store for picking up all the essentials for an evening meal, along with a handful of pubs and restaurants for those evenings away from the kitchen.

There are a number of lovely sandy beaches, including Perranporth Beach, where you can spend the afternoon sunbathing, swimming or getting involved with Cornwall's favourite sport of surfing.

Venture towards Chapel Porth, where you will find a quaint beach and a small café, famous for its hedgehog ice creams, something bound to get your little ones excited.

Further afield is the charming attraction of Healey's Cornish Cyder Farm, which offers guided tours and you can even sample some of its delicious ice cream flavours.

Join the South West Coast Path and enjoy a long walk with your four-legged friend by your side, seeing the coastal sites and plentiful bird life.
