Well-situated for a Cornish touring holiday, the beaches on the south coast are a short drive away as are the fishing villages of Looe and Polperro. Plymouth with its Hoe, Barbican, and National Marine Aquarium, and other attractions including the Adrenalin Quarry, The Eden Project and wakeboarding at Siblyback Lake are also within good driving distance. Also great for day trips are Dartmoor and the North Cornwall coast, famed for its rugged coastline, surfing beaches and quaint fishing villages.

A large proportion of this quaint property enjoys an open plan layout. With its exposed wooden ceiling beams it retains much of its rural character. The lounge/kitchen/diner is well-furnished with ample comfortable seating, TV/DVD and focal woodburner to warm the room on a cooler winters evening. Bi-fold doors open out to the patio area, bringing the outside in and looking out at the view. The kitchen area includes an electric oven and induction hob, dishwasher and a fridge/freezer. Along the corridor are the bedrooms, the first of which is a king-size with en-suite shower and WC, while the other bedroom is a twin. Nearby is a bathroom with WC.

Step outside, where you can relax on the enclosed decked area with seating or on the surrounding lawn with BBQ. There is a shared utility room that contains a washing machine and tumble dryer. There are plenty of leisure facilities on site, where you can enjoy the indoor swimming pool (open end of March - end of October), exclusively available for guests of the two holiday properties. The games room contains a pool table and table football. There is children's play equipment outside for both barns to enjoy. The River Inny cuts across the farm land and if fishing is your thing, you are welcome to get involved, though you will need to bring your own rods.

The perfect holiday stay for our little family! Despite the weather not being great we had lots to do and the pool was a firm favourite. Stunning views, so peaceful, you wouldn't realise its a working farm because all you hear is nature & the lemon drizzle cake made for us was stunning! The hosts were perfect and were on hand if anything was neededRead more. Hide

Honestly this was one of my favourite holidays ever. The cottage is exactly as it looks on the pictures. The pool was fantastic and bigger than I expected. The surroundings were picturesque. We woke up every day to the most perfect views. We arrived to find a homemade lemon drizzle cake waiting for us which was divine, as well as fresh cut flowers Read moreand a card to wish us a lovely holiday. We had a wonderful time, the owners were really friendly and helpful and we were in a great location. Hide

A lovely cosy cottage with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. It was a shame that the weather wasn't great otherwise we would have enjoyed eating on the outdoor table and using the bbq. My girls loved being able to use the swimming pool every day. And I loved watching all the birds, especially the swallows.

Couldn't have asked for more from the owners or cottage. Everything we needed including fresh baked cake milk t-bags and coffee on arrival. Lovely swimming pool and games room, so peaceful. The only downside was drive through tiny rds to get to cottage, but peaceful location makes up for it.

I recently stayed at Skiber Long in Cornwall over the bank holiday weekend, and I have to say it was a fantastic experience.

Sue and Adi have been amazing hosts, so friendly and helpful. We stayed in the Long Barn Cottage, the location and views are just breathtaking! Beds were very comfortable and plenty of bedding and towels provided. Laundry room was very handy for washing and drying out towels after beach and pool days The pool and play area had enough to keep my 2 tRead moreeenage boys occupied for hours. Could easily stay another week, so much to see and do. Would definitely recommend. Amazing holiday. Thank you! Hide

Beautiful cottage, lovely owners and a brilliant pool that our boys loved jumping in for two sessions a day. The timetable of the pool worked really well. Stunning location, very peaceful and quiet and yet all main attractions from Newquay to Looe to Tintagel are within an hour. We would easily come back! Thank you
