I cant speak highly enough of my recent stay at Elder Barn. Perfect in every way. I didnt want to leave! Superbly equipped and the enclosed, private garden area was ideal for the dogs.

We had a great three night stay at Elder Barn, it really did feel like a home from home. Elder Barn is set in a great location to have as a base for exploring around Cornwall and is really peaceful.

We had a fantastic stay in Elder Barn, finding it particularly comfortable and well equipped.

We wanted to visit a number of places in west Cornwall so it gave us an ideal central location. Impeccably clean, fantastic wifi, nice big parking area (even if the approach is a bit narrow!). Very peaceful and quiet and we enjoyed sitting outside at the picnic table in the evenings.

We really enjoyed our stay (despite the wet weather!). The cottage was really nice, well maintained and clearly a relatively new build. It was very well equipped, a real home-from-home.

Our cottage was perfect. It had everything we needed. It was clean and the kitchen was full of equipment to use.
