Description
Penzance 3.3 miles. Mill House Barn is a delightful privately owned granite barn conversion just outside Gulval near Penzance, lying within the grounds of Kenegie Manor Holiday Park and enjoying easy access to Cornwall's finest beaches and coastal attractions. Ideal for a family of up to eight and two well-behaved dogs, Mill House Barn rests in a tranquil and landscaped holiday park with ample on-site facilities. Upon arrival at the property, unwind in the charming breakout room, with sofa-bed, in front of a Smart TV or continue upstairs to find the main, well-presented living/dining room, two large recliner sofas with handy cup holders and another Smart TV. Two feature porthole windows add to the character of this space. Progress through the property to the kitchen and discover a space that is fitted with all the essentials for those culinary delights, along with a handy tiled splash-back; enjoy a tasty dinner and a nice bottle of wine with your group at the nearby dining table. As the day draws to a close, make your way downstairs to discover two/three ground-floor bedrooms, an appealing double room and adult bunk room as well as the second sitting room with double sofa-bed. The bedrooms share access to a first-floor bathroom with separate bath and walk-in shower! Those wanting a little more privacy can climb the stairs to the second floor to find a well-appointed and very spacious master bedroom with VELUX windows, ample storage and easy access to a shower room and cloakroom on the same floor. There is also an additional sofa-bed for up to two extra guests in this loft bedroom (extra bedding charges apply). The bedrooms showcase azure blue touches that refer to the property's peaceful, nautical location of Cornwall. The sunny terrace is a delightful spot to enjoy a cup of coffee, descend the stairs to find a quaint patio that is ideal for dining alfresco on the lower patio with its own picnic table, benches and barbeque. It opens out to a peaceful shared lawn. Teenagers may wish to hang out in the downstairs breakout room with its own Smart TV and sofa bed for ultimate relaxation! The park is not only home to laundry facilities, but it also hosts a fabulous, indoor swimming pool, hot tub, tennis courts and sauna as well as dog walking areas, meaning you can enjoy relaxing activities without having to travel far. In fact, Penzance has recently been reborn as West Cornwall’s biggest foodie hotspot, with the arrival of quirky gastropubs, grown-up restaurants and an underground food scene of street food, festivals, pop-ups, and experiences including foraging and vineyard tours. The property also benefits from being a mile from the popular Cold Streamer Inn pub in Gulval village itself, as well as the beautiful Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens and the stately, 16th century Trengwainton Garden.

Travel to Marazion and hike along Trenow Cove. Walk across the causeway to the majestic castle on the island of St Michael's Mount, before enjoying a well-earned rest on the soft sands of Mount's Bay and Perranuthnoe Beach. Venture a little further to St Ives and discover its eclectic art scene by touring its galleries, including the renowned Tate St Ives, before embarking on a hike along the South West Coastal Path, stopping at the scenic points of Porthminster and Clodgy on the way, and spending the afternoon paddling in the waters of Porthgwidden beach by The Island, or adventure into the surf at Porthmeor beach. Golfers will surely enjoy a challenging round on the fine 18-hole links course at West Cornwall GC in the nearby village of Lelant. The rest of Cornwall is waiting to be explored, be sure to visit the seaside resorts of Carbis Bay and Hayle or partake in nature-rich activities at the Godrevy Nature Reserve and the Penwith Heritage Coast, including

What guests are saying
Parking is quite a walk from the accommodation.
You have to bump your luggage up a lot of stairs a steps. So be aware of that. As soon as you open the front door you are hit by the stink of damp. Two of the bedrooms are on that ground floor. Luckily it was only me. I wouldn’t want anyone to sleep in that smell. First floor kitchen area and sitting room. Pleasant enough. Though I found an ancient dedicated baby bell on the floor, lots of crumbs, a pair of specs and a bottle of vape all on the floor. The bathroom was ok until you open the shower. It’s a small cubicle with a lot of black mould around corners, edges and in the grout. The shower flow is weak. On the third floor is a lovely big bedroom with a very comfy bed. So that was a win. The roof lights desperately need new curtains. But other than that that room was nice. Phone signal is minimal. There is no WiFi. I was meant to have access to the pool in the next door holiday complex but there was no access code for me so I had to pay to use it. There was no welcome pack. The sheets and the towels were fresh and clean! Yay! I wouldn’t stay again. And I wouldn’t recommend it.
The Mill House Barn to located just outside of Gulvul, while still being close enough to access Penzance.
The barn sleeps up to 10 with a mixture of two double beds, two double sleeper couches and a pair of bunk beds. The kitchen and main living room are on the middle of the three storey accommodation, with bathrooms on the middle and upper. Although advertised as dog friendly, dogs are restricted to the bottom floor, so unable to join the social gatherings in the living area. The steep un-carpeted stairs are difficult to navigate especially for anyone with mobility issues. The house is in need of some basic maintenance: peeling paint, broken third drawer in the kitchen, difficult to open windows, and a few minor things. Overall, a reasonable place for break and ti access Cornwall.
The property was alright but the fact that there’s no signal or WiFi is terrible.
It did list that WiFi is not available but not having signal made it worse. There was towels with lipstick stains which wasn’t clean at all. The house was a part of holiday park resort but every other house had a WiFi router which was good. I’d recommend that having a router would be better.
