We really enjoyed our time here, we stayed in elder barn with two kids and a dog. It was super clean when we arrived, with a lovely little hamper of goodies, even some dog treats.

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 visited four beaches with our dog all within 30 minute drive from the cottage. We really enjoyed our stay and hopefully will be back to visit again Read moresoon. Hide

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.
