Manor Barn

We first visited Manor Barn in 2025 and we were very impressed with it.

On this our second visit, the standard is equally as good. Jude and Brian keep Manor Barn and garden in tip top condition. You could not find two more helpful and accommodating hosts. We were so impressed that we have already booked for 2027. This a wonderful base to explore Cornwall. Anne

A lovely characterful house and garden in a quiet residential setting.

Beautifully decorated, spacious(3 double bedrooms, generous kitchen and living rooms) with homely touches so that we felt as if we were in a home not a rental. A very warm welcome from Jude and Brian, having them next door was ideal. We also loved the location as there was masses to do within an hours drive in Devon and Cornwall. Supermarkets and shopping was also easy. One of our best rentals ever and we would love to return.

Manor Barn is a wonderful barn conversion which has been tastefully decorated and is spotlessly clean.

Our welcome pack was very generous and included a vase of yellow roses and a batch of scones (the best I have ever tasted). In the fridge we found four pints of green and two pints of red milk, clotted cream and home-made raspberry jam. The location was very quiet and peaceful, except for the daily visit of the pheasant which was a lovely sight. Jude came round to welcome us, and it was nice to know that she lived nearby in case of any problems. Fortunately we had none. The barn was warm and cosy and there was always lots of hot water. We could quite happily have lived there permanently.

Fantastic property and hosts.

House was immaculate and very comfortable. Claire contacted us via email and was extremely helpful and informative and Jude was lovely, friendly and helpful, lovely scones on arrival. Our 2 dogs loved the garden, only negative and this is a very small point for dog owners, is that sadly the garden is not totally secure so you do need to keep an eye on your fur babies at all times if they are prone to "wandering" We will definitely be back.

From the initial 'welcome' e mail the few night before you knew you were in very safe hands.

Everything thought of from coffee pods and dishwasher tablets on site, to dog bowls, balls, towels and extra dog tags if needed on arrival. The Barn was immaculately clean and such a charming mix of new open plan living but with its heritage very much at its heart. The garden was beautiful and full of wildlife, the BBQ left ready to use was a real holiday treat. Jude who helps to maintain the property was so helpful and answered any questions we had and was such a kind and friendly person who made you feel so very welcome. Would recommend this property to anyone as a lovely quiet get away, sure we will be returning.

This was the perfect holiday cottage for six adults and an energetic Vizsla.

We were given a warm welcome from Jude along with beautiful flowers and a delicious Cornish cream tea. The cottage was spacious with very comfortable seating and beds. The kitchen was well stocked with a variety of condiments, tea, coffee etc. Willow our dog loved the huge garden and after she’d tired herself out spent hours gazing through the patio door at the birds. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Absolutely beautiful house ,garden ect.

Only draw back was that it is quite a distance away from anywhere, If your looking for rural this is your place .

A beautiful cottage in a great area.

Really well equipped and furnished with everything you'd want for a week away. Jude is a great host and the scones on arrival were lovely, made even better with an unexpected birthday cake for my mum too. With easy access to Devon and Cornwall it's a fantastic home away from home (if you like golf then it's even better as it's right next to St Mellion)

The property is beautiful, decor outstanding.

Furnishings first class, Garden is lovely and well maintained. The area in which it is set is wonderful. The host Jude was attentive, friendly and welcoming. Everything the guests would need has been well thought through and provided for. We were so impressed we are booking now for next year. It has been a really relaxing family holiday.

Manor Barn is a lovely, well maintained property, which has all you could possibly need for a comfortable stay, and more.

Jude, the property owner, is warm and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We had a great time staying in Manor Barns and will definitely be going back.

An excellent property that is well looked after.

Clean, comfortable, with everything you need. Spacious, cosy and an outdoor area that was loved by us and our 4 legged friends. A great location for exploring both Cornwall or Devon. This was one of the best properties we have had the pleasure of staying in.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely setting .

Everything you could possibly want for a great stay

For us, Manor barn was perfectly located, being within easy reach of Dartmoor and all that has to offer (including that area of Devon), as well as the may coastal sites immediatley west of Plymouth(such as Looe); and even a visit to Doc Martin’s house on the north coast was an easy drive.

Manor Barn itself was easy to find (and no very narrow lanes to get there), and had all we could want for a week-long break. Immaculately clean and every convenience we have at home. Jude even left a pair of binoculars to get a better look of the wildlife in the garden. Just wish we didn’t have jobs to get back to; would happily live there. Three very happy guests (who even found time to paint). Thank you Jude. We also appreciated your family connection with Manor Barn; made us feel ‘that little bit special’. We sincerely hope your other guests feel the same. I very rarely gush with praise, but I have this time.

The cottage is lovely, it was extremely clean and everything as stated.

Jude could not have been more helpful and was on hand if needed. There was the added bonus of scones - made by Jude with jam and cream which was very thoughtful and enjoyed by us. Everything you could need is provided including a dog bed. The garden is large and was very much enjoyed by our dog. We hope to return next year. This is one of the best places we have stayed in so thanks to the owners for letting us have the pleasure of staying there.

Jude our host was amazing.

The house is peaceful an enabled us to switch off and relax. The furnishings were of a very high quality with lots of little touches that made our life simple

Beautiful cottage great location, visits to Looe, Polperro, Tavistock, Callington, Liskearde Saltash and Torpoint.

Weather not great but we made the most of our holiday. Jude the caretaker was very helpful and available if we needed her. Would recommend this holiday home to anybody and finally te dogs loved the huge garden.

We have been to many holiday cottages and this one was the best by miles!

We had a wonderful time at Manor Barn. It is a beautiful property, very clean and very well equipped with lots of extras. The garden is just beautiful and the host Jude was very friendly and approachable. We would definitely recommend Manor Barn.

We had a wonderful stay, beautiful location and barn.

Everything had been thought about and Jude clearly puts in the extra mile to ensure people have an comfortable stay. Thankyou, we will be back again soon! :)

Fantastic place to stay.

Very comfortable.

A delightful, comfortable and well appointed "cottage", in a lovely quiet location.

The large garden at the rear adds to the ambiance and makes a great place to sit out on sunny evenings. There was a truly comprehensive "house folder" provided, which, in addition to all the basic "how to" information for the cottage, included a great deal of valuable local intelligence. There was also a good selection of leaflets to supply ideas for activities and days out, although we were often content just to spend time relaxing there. Jude was a wonderful host, who went the extra mile to make us feel welcome, and speedily dealt with any queries.
