Please note: The property has a natural water supply from a borehole. There is a pond and a river in the grounds, 25 yards away.. Willow Barn is quite simply lovely! It is a very well-presented and finished holiday cottage set deep in a quiet rural location in the lush Cornish countryside, but only minutes from many pretty sandy beaches and coves. This ’upside down’ detached cottage provides the best views from the living area and balcony. It has a bright, stylish, open-plan living area with original beams and a large balcony through the bi-folding doors where you can relax with a glass of your favourite tipple. The owner lives adjacent and is on hand should you need advice or assistance during your stay.
The historic fishing village of Mevagissey is 3½ miles away, with narrow lanes that all seem to lead to the pretty, bustling, working harbour. Here you will find many great pubs serving local food and ales, quaint coffee shops, and some great local independent shops. The Lost Gardens of Heligan, a formerly overgrown and ‘lost’ gem of a garden, has been restored and is worth a visit, even if it’s to see the ‘jungle’ and play hide and seek with the kids.
There are pretty sub-tropical gardens to visit, stunning scenery, quaint fishing villages, and beaches, many with sailing, diving, and kayaking. Porthpean, 4 miles away, is a favourite with the locals who kayak along the coast looking for seals that bask on the quiet beaches. The Eden Project is another world-class attraction within easy reach. Fowey is nearby, a seafaring town and former home of Daphne Du Maurier. It makes a great day out, especially for the restaurants and the cafés. You can catch a ferry from here to Mevagissey in the high season (weather permitting) and is a great way to see the coastline of St Austell Bay.
There is a wealth of activities locally including surfing, sailing, swimming, walking, horseriding, and many cycle trails with bike hire available. For golfers, there are plenty of courses from St Austell to Carlyon Bay’s excellent links course with stunning sea views. Beach 4 miles. Shop 2 miles, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

Weve all been there -You arrive at your hired property for the week, enter & immediately you think "This isnt what was in the photographs when i booked"! Then comes the grubby corners of the floor, the tired fixtures & fittings & worse of all no corkscrew ! Well, rest assured this is definitely NOT the case here at Willow Barn! On arrival we were greeted by Irene who very respectfully opened up & showed us all around. Both Irene & Tom are very hospitable but not intrusive. A very well thought through welcome package also was there for us in the well equiped kitchen. All the properties fixtures & fittings are spot in, modern & very clean. Comfortable beds, very clean en-suite bathrooms & a lovely wet room shower. Not your usual tired out place this one! You can tell that both Tom & Irene pride themsleves in what they deliver & their many awards prove so! The summerhouse & pond are very relaxing. Each morning we awoke to bird song - no traffic noise & evening time we enjoyed a starry sky as you dont get in towns/cities. Owl hoots & alsorts of wonderful wildlife to enjoy. This was one of the VERY best stays we have ever had, cannot be recommended enough! If your viewing now with a potential to book - DO IT - You won't be disappointed!We will be returning.

We Had a Great time at Willow Barn. The Central Location made it easy for travelling to famous Landmarks and Beaches. The Owners were very nice and made us feel welcome when we arrived, and this was Great Value for Money.
