Lost Barn

Excellent stay, centrally located for all local attractions.

Lost Barn has everything you could need and the hamper was an added bonus. Very thoughtful owners. We would definitely book again.

A true gem of a property.

Honestly , I cannot find a negative, wonderful location, beautifully furnished and it has clearly been maintained with love. We have been coming to Cornwall for many years and this accommodation has been our favourite by far. Can’t wait to book again!

Wonderful cottage in a tranquil location but just 15 minutes from the buzz and surf of Newquay.

The Kitchen was beautifully appointed and a pleasure to use and the beds so comfortable. The tea and scones a nice touch which gave us a good Cornish welcome. Highly recommend.

We had an absolutely wonderful ten night stay at the Lost Barn.

It is a beautiful property, that has been furnished to an extremely high standard. It is set in a very peaceful location, yet still very close to the popular and beautiful tourist attractions. There are miles of sandy beaches to explore, and we loved watching the surfers at Newquay. The owners were very friendly and helpful, and invited us to pick fruit from their orchard during our stay if we wanted to. The welcome hamper was very generous, and a delight to receive after a long journey. The kitchen is very well equipped and stylish, and overall in the property it feels as though no expense has been spared to enable you to enjoy your break. We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend this property.

Beautiful holiday home!

Clean, comfortable and spacious. Very well equipped with lots of simple little extras that all help with a self catering holiday. Would 100% recommend to anyone & would return! Thank you for our stay.

The design of the interior along with the quality of fixtures and fittings was superb.

Falcon oven, White Company linen, beautiful welcome package etc, were really appreciated.

Absolutely loved our stay at The Lost Barn.

The house felt both luxurious and homely, a lovely place to relax and chill out. Little touches like the welcome hamper made it feel really special. The owners were really helpful and accommodating. We would definitely stay again.

The cottage is in a lovely quiet countryside location.

There are short dog walks close by and of course much longer ones a short distance away. The kitchen, furniture, decor and beds are all high quality. Needing improvement are the shower which really lets the place down having poor pressure, tepid water and switches that don’t work, and the downstairs French windows which are not secure. If you are taller than 6ft you will be banging your head on some of the light fittings.

We had a lovely holiday, the property is clean warm and comfortable, it’s very well equipped with good attention to detail, it’s in a very pretty and peaceful location, we would happily return.

Had a lovely relaxing week, home from home, provided everything we needed, compact and comfy

A stunning house.

.. we all absolutely loved our stay, and hope to be back soon. Full of character, comfortable and chilled house, lovely location.. perfect in every way

The cottage is very comfortable.

We had no difficulty finding it though it is via a narrow lane. Very peaceful especially at night. Really comfortable beds with spotless bedding. Bathroom was very clean (but wooden toilet seat not easy to clean underneath.) So nice to find a hamper of food and a bottle of champagne plus flowers waiting for us. Even chocolates on our pillows. Everything in the house was in good working order. Good quality appliances and all exceptionally clean. Tasteful furnishings. Underfloor heating and lashings of hot water. Home from home. House was in a good location for exploring further afield.

Lovely relaxing and peaceful stay.

We would highly recommend!

You advertised toiletries and beach towels as included- they weren't (fortunately the owner did supply them).

They say they advised you of this so it seems you haven't updated the details on your website. Separately would have been better for the dog if the garden area was enclosed- your website didn't mention that it wasn't.

If I could give 6 stars I would.

It was a real treat to stay somewhere the owners care about and have set up to such a high standard.

Great hosts.

Lovely house Beautifully decorated Welcome food pack and champagne Garden sitting area by carp pond Individual BBQ Easy parking Also has smaller flat for 2 same facilities Beautifully set out I say smaller but it is very spacious not sure flat is good description I would say integral cottage own BBQ own parking Hostess knows how to design accommodations All In all 5 star. Only negative. It is Cornwall. And roads can be very narrow. But that’s the charm Good local pubs Supermarket. Easy distance away

The lost barn is an extremely beautiful place, so comfortable and cosy, the beds were a dream after longs days out and about.

It really is a home from home, it’s very quiet and a bit of a tricky place to find on your first day but we got there in the end. Only problem we found which we knew before hand was the WiFi

We have just returned from The Lost Barn what a fantastic property.

It was immaculately clean and tidy upon arrival. Full of everything you could possibly need for your stay. We couldn’t recommend it enough and would hope to return. Also a perfect location for visiting Newquay, Padstow and the north coast. All in all we have had the best holiday.

The lost barn was a wonderful cottage in every way.

The Wi Fi was very poor but this did not spoil the experience. Great quiet location, with great access to everywhere, we would certainly stay again.

Lovely cottage in a very quiet location.

Unfortunately in my opinion it could do with a clean up and tidy, there were a large amount of weeds growing on the balcony from the front bedroom, there were a large amount of cobwebs on most of the windows and the back boors. Half way through our stay the internet stopped working so we couldn’t watch any catch up TV or use our phones or iPads and for the quite high price I would have expected a better, cleaner cottage. On a positive the welcome hamper and bottle of bubbly in the fridge was nice.

What a beautiful location, accommodation, attention to detail.

The lost barn is a beautiful building in a delightful setting with a garden and very large pond with fish and wildlife.

The accommodation is to a much higher standard than I expected from the professional cooker to the White Company towels and the generous hamper that was awaiting us.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Lost Barn, it was an absolutely lovely place to stay and we were lucky enough to have a whole week.

Perfect location and we easily found our way around. We visited Watergate, Padstow, Newquay which were all very near. We took our 2 Frenchies and visited all the beaches which were amazing. The Lost Barn had everything your own home has. We took tea towels, kitchen sponges, dishwasher tablets etc but all was supplied for us. Bedding and towels were lovely and the house is very clean, we couldn’t fault it. Lovely little village and Phil the owner told us about the local walk which was really lovely and very close. An amazing hamper was left for our arrival and was appreciated as it had all kinds of goodies. In fact the only negative for us was the sofa. Although it looks lovely, it was a bit uncomfortable for two people wanting a lounge about afternoon in front of the tv. We would definitely go back to stay here, in fact I look for the same week next year but the dates have not been released yet, I will keep checking though:-)))))

This is a fabulous property.

Extremely clean and well maintained. Superb interior with class and elegance. Host was lovely and very helpful, we will highly recommend this to everyone we know.

Very comfortable accommodation with quality modern facilities in a tranquil location.

For older guests a soap holder in the shower would be helpful.

Lovely clean and tidy cottage surrounded by beautiful grounds in a quiet location away from the hustle and bustle, with amenities 10 minutes away.

Perfect location for exploring all of Cornwall.

We had a great stay at the Lost Barn.

It was impeccably clean, has comfortable beds and everything you could need. We really appreciated the hamper of Cornish goodies left for us on arrival, which we took bits and pieces from for picnics out throughout the week. The stairs are quite steep - we brought a pressure fit stair gate with us as we were visiting with our 2 year old and I’m glad we did, as it gave us extra peace of mind while he was upstairs that he wouldn’t fall and hurt himself. I wonder if this is something that could be provided by the owners in future, as a relatively cheap, simple improvement that you don’t see often in holiday cottages. The location is also brilliant. We enjoyed great days out at Heligan, Rock, Perranporth, Lappa Valley and Lanhydrock, and a fantastic meal at the St Kew Inn near Wadebridge (recommend booking ahead!). We will definitely recommend to others to stay here and would come back! Thanks!

The property was lovely and very clean however we had a couple of small issues.

We found that some of the facilities were a little tired such as the microwave (the door button became stuck many times) and the blinds in the garden bedroom (it came unthreaded and had to be redone) We also were not send any information as to how to enter our property.... We emailed as we're were told to do with a time of our arrival but no one responded and we didn't know the keycode to enter property which resulted in us knocking on next door to ask how they had got in. As it happened the keycode was still plumbed in to the keysafe but this was not ideal when it was 6.30pm and we had waited all day to arrive. We then had to go and get shopping afterwards. As we were not personally met I do believe that an earlier let in time would've been better. Lastly providing some basics such as sugar, binbags would've been helpful as lovely as it was to have tea and coffee pods and some milk, we couldn't use them until we had been shopping. Overall the stay was lovely but not ideal for family's as there isn't really an outdoor area for them to play in and being so isolated means that there are no parks nearby. They did enjoy the pillow chocolates and thought the place was lovely to stay in as did we.

Fabulous cottage, every thing you could possibly need.

Owner was so friendly and the hamper scones etc wonderful touch Perfect in every way.

We had a lovely stay at the Lost Barn - enjoyed the property location, privacy and home comforts.

The owners clearly try to make the stay special for their guests - the welcome hamper and treats were lovely. We really enjoyed the outside spaces and the wonderful wildlife and the pond - our daughter loved looking at the fish especially! The area to improve would be the comfort of the beds and the duvets. Also, as a family with a small child - its quite stressful to ensure your lovely fluffy towels don't get toothpaste on them, and to be honest i would have preferred less expensive towels so that i would not stress about leaving them damaged in any way. We did however, appreciate that the owners were trying to make this lovely for their guests. Thank you for a lovely stay, we would definitely recommend and book again.

Fabulous cottage, lots of lovely touches to make our stay a little bit more special.

A lovely spot, very central for visiting beaches, padstow, St.ives, south cornwall. Our dog loved the local walk through the woods and of course the beaches. Had a fabulous stay.

We had a perfect stay at Lost Barn.

The accommodation was spotlessly clean as well as being beautifully and comfortably furnished. The owners went above and beyond with their generous and tasty welcome pack which not only contained a cream tea but a chilled bottle of champagne and chilled glasses in the fridge to celebrate our arrival in style. Every room was beyond expectation - fresh flowers in the lounge, beautiful toiletries for the bathroom, fabulous bathrobes on the bed along with a generous chocolate bar for each guest on the pillow.

Lost Barn was very comfortable and set in a beautiful, rural location.

All the furnishings, appliances, linen etc were good and the welcome hamper very generous. The one negative (which wasn't very important to us) was that the internet connection was not as good as the smart TV - so watching programmes on the internet didn't really work as the connection kept dropping out

A lovely place, very tranquil but ideally placed to walks and the main road.

The internet did not work but luckily we were able to piggy back on the Wi-fi from next door. The windows weren’t clean and had a lot of cobwebs around them (outside); plus the balcony had weeds everywhere. Not sure if this was due to the owners having the property up for sale but it did feel like they’d given up on the outside areas somewhat.

A wonderful base to explore Watergate Bay, Fistral beach, Rock, Padstow and much more.

Such a comfortable bed with gorgeous bed linen, luxurious towels & even dressing gowns too. We certainly enjoyed the welcome hamper & fizz as well thank you. I would certainly recommend a stay at Lost Barn.

Cottage was beautiful, very quiet location.

Beautiful cottage which was exactly as shown in the pictures.

Location was perfect - very peaceful but at the same time close enough to explore nearby towns and beaches. We would definitely return!

Great place lovely gardens 10 out of 10

Very relaxing and enjoyable week in a beautiful setting.

A great cottage furnished to a high standard and with quality linens and towels.

The only comment i would make is that the garden area is quite small, borders a large unfenced pond and is not private (very close to neighbouring cottage garden area). This wasn't a problem for us as we were out most of the time but is worth being aware of if you have young children or pets.

Really enjoyed our stay at Lost Barn.

The property is lovely and in a nice setting. Was a little confused as no sign on property saying Lost Barn but Mellionnec Vean. There's everything you will need in the cottage. The location of the cottage is great and near to all local attractions but just be careful as lane leading to cottage is extremely narrow with some blind bends. Would recommend a stay here and would definitely return .

Pro’s:The property was easy to find and close enough to Newquay with a nice pub nearby at Quintell Downs (Booking a must!

). The facilities were great a nice welcome pack, parking was good, quite remote so dog walking was easy. Allowing the dogs was the important thing too. The Cast Iron bath and bed/bedding was luxurious. Cons: Really small things which could be easily improved. The heating for us was a little high but this I is a personal preference and opened windows when we needed as we couldn’t find the heating instructions. The shower tray filled quite quickly and there was no water pressure regulator so had to stop the shower intermittently, ideally the drain needed clearing or a adjustable valve be fitted. TV was outdated with an array of remote controls. Ideally get a Smart TV with Satellite built in. Would definitely book again.

Lovely location, great cottage!

Great hosts

We really enjoyed our holiday but the only negative I have to say is that when we turned up at 18:10 the cottage wasn’t ready and the housekeeper was still cleaning it.

She told us to go and walk our dog while she finished!! We were told we couldn’t check in Until 6pm due to cleaning because of COVID. That’s fine but we didn’t actually get in there until 7pm, she was cleaning an hour after we got there! Not really acceptable if you ask me!!

Everything and more at the Lost Barn.

Comfortable, warm, very welcoming. We didn’t want to leave!

I would recommend Lost barn to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable and good location stay in Cornwall.

The facility had everything you require for a comfortable stay, dog friendly. On arrival we were greeted by the owners Tara and Phil who took time to explain everything we needed to know about our stay. They provided a Cornish cream tea on arrival as well as a bottle of champagne chilling in the fridge. The facility is situated around 7 miles from Newquay and central for visits to all interesting and historical sites. We loved every minute of our 7 day stay.

Beautiful property, lovely owners, nice quiet location but great for exploring all of Cornwall.

Sheer luxury !

Opulent surroundings , and very clean . Curtains and drapes looked amazing . Beds so comfortable ! Huge kitchen with all mod cons , + extra gadgets ! Large TV screen . Would definitely return .

Fantastic holiday cottage situated in a lovely and peaceful location.

Would highly recommend to anyone.

We had a great family holiday, stunning barn in a great location - accessible to main beach and town locations.

My only suggestion would be to make guests aware of the unsecured garden and drive and large pond at rear. As stunning as it was it really wasnt suitable for us as we were holidaying with two excitable puppies.

This is a lovely property and location in Colan.

Easy accessible to many places. The owners were lovely to meet when we first arrived. I do however think a few things were miss leading. The property is dog friendly which is fantastic but the open garden isn’t ideal when it leads to the road. As lovely as the garden is, it’s potentially an issue. There were also dogs locally that would use this garden too! Again not ideal as they would do their mess in it! We didn’t use our small space with patio furniture due to dog mess that wasn’t picked up all week. Also miss leading were words like visit the paddock and orchard?. Didn’t see these!. The lovely bedroom with doors that can open, couldn’t be due to the Bee’s. A few tweaks to this holiday let would make it perfect.

fantastic accommodation, welcoming owners with a quiet location but close to lots of places to visit.

The owners add lots of special touches and the champagned cream tea a lovely gesture - even two 14 year old teenagers loved the property - highly recommend

We were extremely disappointed to find a large pond full of carp in the garden which was not mentioned at all in the description, we have two dogs who love water.

The garden was therefore unusable for us, unless we had the dogs on leads and then we don’t relax and neither do the dogs. When on holiday we usually spend a lot of time outside but we felt confined to the indoors staying here. Lost barn itself is lovey, very comfortable, bright and airy. The hamper, cream tea and champagne on arrival were great, the owners who live on the property are very friendly. Nothing has been skimped in the cottage, it is well equipped with good quality furnishings. The beds especially, very comfortable. This is a lovey area, very quiet but lots to do and see close by.

Brilliant spot!

So quiet and relaxing. Recommend it for a complete chill out!

Gorgeous property, we loved it so much that we have already booked it for next year.

wonderful location giving peace and tranquility.

The options to walk the countryside or jump in the car and explore the coastline and some lovely beaches was perfect.

The only thing I could pick out that could be better, would be the internet speed.

Other than that the lost barn was perfect.

We had a lovely week staying at the lost barn with our two giant schnauzers.

The weather was fab. The cottage was everything I expected from the description and lovely and clean and modern with good facilities and in a lovely quiet setting ideal for touring Cornwall. The cottage had a nice garden with a garden table and chairs for outside dining and sun beds to relax on to catch up with your tan. Some dog walking near by. We visited Padstow, polperro, port Issac, Newquay St Ives, perranporth, looe, Land’s end, watergate bay, Mousehole, ideal location for trips out. The best place we ate and worth a mention was the beech hut watergate bay. I enjoyed cooking in the cottage and sitting in the garden after a day out and about with a bottle of sparkly. Would recommend 10 out of 10

The lighting and seating in the lounge could be better.

Otherwise everything was fine. Kitchen is very well fitted.

An idyllic secluded retreat with added extras that certainly exceeds expectations.

It leaves you wanting for nothing and gives you everything you need and more for a fantastic holiday

This met all our requirements and is in a great location

Lovely spot, gorgeous garden.

Wonderful welcome pack and a good location - we could get to a lot of places very easily. Everything was clean and there was good attention to detail. The sofa was huge but not that comfortable, we kept slipping down. It would have been nice to have radiators and be able to control them ourselves as it got quite chilly at night.

A lovely cottage, which was well presented and everything worked well.

The kitchen facilities and the bathroom were excellent, the bedrooms were lovely and the ambience was great. I wonder if a couple of constructive (hopefully) comments would be valuable. The sitting room is large enough to take some armchairs rather then the L-shaped sofa and the chaise longue. It was difficult to get comfortable on the former, but we were only two people. If four were staying, the sofa would be cramped and impossible to watch TV, for instance as the head of one person would always be in the way of another. The second comment would be for the owners to make the garden more secure with a surrounding wire fence. That way, dogs could be let out without the owner having to accompany them for a late-night pee. Just two small comments to round off a great stay. Thanks a lot to all those responsible.

We arrived at the Lost Barn thinking that it couldn't be as lovely as the pictures but, on a day of beautiful sunshine in April it looked just as good if not better than we expected.

The barn is spacious and warm with comfy seats to flop down on and a great open plan cooking area. It is quiet and peaceful and the bedrooms, particularly the master bedroom, are so restful and comfortable. We felt relaxed from the very start of our holiday. It is also very conveniently situated to get to Newquay for surfing and beaches. All in all, a perfect base for our holiday. Thank you to our hosts - we had a fantastic week and would definitely love to return one day.

We would hope this accommodation will continue to be enjoyed by many family's, the location is perfect for visiting Cornwall's areas of beauty, walks, beaches, possibly a leisurely cream tea.

We definitely plan to return.

Had a lovely stay, The Lost Barn was very clean, warm and comfortable, the finishing touches and attention to detail were exceptional.

Extremely well equipped throughout. A very peaceful location with a variety of wildlife passing by. Would happily return.

Beautiful cottage.

Very quiet and peaceful setting.
