"We enjoyed a very pleasant stay in a clean, spacious and comfortable cottage."
Every facility thought of and pleasant owners who were not intrusive but there to help if necessary.
Would definitely recommend.

"A really well-equipped, simple cottage, with a very friendly greeting when ringing to arrange key collection."
This is in a good location, really easy to get to the Eden Project, or to catch the train to other areas of Cornwall (we had a nice day out in St. Ives - Par station is a mile or so walk away but with a younger child we drove to the station). The location allowed us to visit a range of places while limiting our impact on Cornwall's roads.
It seems that these properties are being sold, and work was underway to divide the shared garden; it wasn't clear whether this was still accessible, but it looked out of bounds and we didn't take advantage of it. It's also worth noting that it's an upside down cottage for layout reasons - the upstairs windows are mostly in the roof and there's no view from the cottage. As a cottage it was fine for us, but not such an interesting location for our ten-year-old, so we went out more than we'd probably anticipated.

"Had a very comfortable stay at the Barrow cottage with easy access to attractions including the Eden project 2 minutes drive up the road."
We had all the facilities required for our weeks stay with a very friendly host Mr.Lindsay. Only negative was that the cottage had a road straight outside which could be noisy at night but didn’t effect our stay. Overall a lovely cosy cottage with all that you would require for a getaway

"Lovely property, good facilities."
Could do with a bit more info on local attractions. Nothing on Eden project just down the road or lost gardens of Heligan. Which is a must for all visitor even non gardeners. Info on walks would be good to. Property on a road side but it's not to busy.
Could do with a bit of painting showing signs of wear but not to bad. Large bathroom....small shower??? Such potential !! Maybe the new owners will improve this. Not much in St Blazey but a nice walk to the Eden project especially if you go on the cycle path.

"This is the first time we have stayed in a cottage after many years staying in caravans."
We were very impressed to say the least. The cottage was AMAZING. PERFECT in every way. A beautiful place really friendly owners and an amazingly clean cottage. It was perfectly equipped and so comfortable. We were really blown away. If all cottages were as good as this one then we would not stay in a caravan again. Thank you so much to the lovely owners for such a great place.

"We had an amazing stay."
The hosts were so friendly and welcoming and were available to answer any questions. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you may need. The patio area was a great space to enjoy a quiet drink in the sunshine. We used The Barrow as a base to visit Gweek Seal Sanctuary, The Eden Project and lots of harbour side towns. Charlestown in the evening had a good vibe. We visited many beaches Par, Polkerris, Carlyon and Porthpean all great and sandy with varying degrees of seaweed and jellyfish!! Would suggest to take coins for car parking as the phone signal is not always good. Would highly recommend a visit to The Barrow you will not be disappointed.

"What a beautiful cottage in an ideal location."
It has been finished to a high standard with everything that you need for a comfortable stay. The washing machine and dishwasher are great added extras. The owners who live in the end cottage are very friendly and go the extra mile to ensure your stay is extremely pleasant. We were greeted with a pack of local made biscuits, a pint of milk and tea and coffee sachets which were very much appreciated after our long drive down. John and Sheena make themselves available for their guests and make their safety a priority, even fogging the properties to reduce the risk of covid. They are also very knowledgeable about the local area and where to eat. (Thanks John for the recommendation for the Britannia pub for a meal) The property is ideally located for the Eden project, (3 mins in the car) along with taking trips out to Newquay, Port Isaac (Home of Doc Martin), Mevagissey (great for crabbing and all the lovely shops) and Fowey to name but a few. We couldn't recommend this location highly enough.

"We had a lovely weeks stay at the Barrow."
The cottage was clean and spacious with a cosy feel to it. There are 4 cottages in a row with a small yard and then shared area. The cottage had all the facilities we needed. The owners live in the end cottage and are very friendly. The location is perfect as it is within easy reach of lots of local towns and beaches. We visited Mevagissey, Fowey, Looe, Padstow and Polperro. Mevagissey is a gorgeous little harbour with lots of shops, bars and restaurants and perfect for crabbing. Polperro is a further drive but a gorgeous little harbour so well worth it. Our favourite beach nearby was Pentewan, there's a beach bar and watersports and the water is crystal clear. Porthpean beach and St Carlyon are stunning! Polkerris beach is 10 minutes away and has a nice pub, the Rashleigh arms, and a restaurant, Sams on the Beach. The food here is amazing and you can sit on the beach and watch the sun go down. We definitely feel like we found a place we would love to return to. Thank you for a perfect little getaway!

"This conversion was amazing!"
The accommodation was "upside down" so we had the pretty garden upstairs just outside the lounge along with a very large, spotlessly clean kitchen and bathroom, and downstairs were the two bedrooms and another bathroom. This made for a warm living area and a cool sleeping area which was ideal. It was all very well furnished, spacious, light and airy and very comfortable to come back to after a long day sightseeing.The owners, Sheena and John, are very friendly and welcoming and also live on site which was handy for collecting and delivering keys and they were available if any problems did occur. Not that we had any, and judging by the comments in the visitors book nor did anyone else.The property is in a very central part of Cornwall which makes for easy visiting of the many pretty coastal areas and sights, and is also close to the Eden Project, Fowey and Polperro. We certainly enjoyed our stay there and would definitely recommend it to family and friends as the perfect place to stay when visiting this lovely area of Cornwall.
