Willow Barn is a beautifully presented detached holiday cottage set in a peaceful rural position in the Cornish countryside. Finished to a high standard throughout, it offers a comfortable and stylish place to stay while remaining well located for exploring the coast. Designed in an ‘upside-down’ layout, the living accommodation is on the first floor to make the most of the views across the surrounding countryside.
The bright, open-plan living area features original beams and a modern, well-equipped layout ideal for relaxing after a day out. Bi-folding doors open onto a large balcony, providing a lovely space to sit with a drink and enjoy the quiet setting. The accommodation is thoughtfully finished and well maintained, making it an inviting retreat at any time of year. The owner lives adjacent and is available should guests need local advice or assistance during their stay.
Despite its quiet location, Willow Barn is well placed for discovering this diverse part of Cornwall. The area is known for its sandy beaches and sheltered coves backed by dramatic cliffs, ideal for family days out. The nearest beach is just 4 miles away, with many others within easy reach.
The historic fishing village of Mevagissey lies around 3½ miles away and is well worth a visit, with its narrow streets leading down to a busy working harbour. Here you’ll find a good choice of pubs, cafés, and independent shops. Nearby attractions include the Lost Gardens of Heligan, a restored historic garden with woodland and jungle areas, and the Eden Project, both popular with visitors of all ages.
There are also sub-tropical gardens, scenic coastal walks, and traditional fishing villages to explore. Fowey, a seafaring town and former home of Daphne du Maurier, is close by and known for its restaurants and cafés. A seasonal ferry runs between Fowey and Mevagissey, offering a great way to see St Austell Bay from the water.
Outdoor activities in the area include surfing, sailing, swimming, walking, horse riding, cycling, and golf, with several courses nearby. Shops are 1¾ miles away, with a pub and restaurant just ¾ mile from the cottage.

Willow Barn was perfect ! Beautiful cottage in the countryside with a wonderful garden, pond and summerhouse - our dog loved it as did we. So lovely to hear the birds and the sheep, so peaceful. Location is great as you can get to many places from there - favourites were St Mawes & Megavissey.Hosts Irene and Tom were lovely and welcoming and there if you needed them but equally not intrusive - highly recommend this cottage ❤️
