Returned to this property after a 6 year gap and just as good as before. Lovely to be on a working farm watching the animals in the field (no smells). Remote enough to only hear birds and sheep but only 5 mins from the A30 (which you can't see or hear). High spec accommodation with everything you need and 3 separate bathrooms a bonus. A great base Read moreto explore the North coast within 45 min drive, and same down to St Austell in South. Launceston is worth a day of mooching about with lovely cafes. Hide

We had a lovely week at shorthorn barn. The property was really spacious and comfortable.

Short Horn Barn was lovely, peaceful, very well equipped and comfortable. WiFi worked well and all appliances were in good working order. Well located for exploring all of Cornwall.
