A spacious luxury cottage deep in the Cornish countryside, this is a perfect romantic retreat. In a peaceful location down a quiet lane, the beautiful, eco-friendly cottage is one of five cottages that make up the small hamlet with plenty to see and do nearby. Special features include garden access from the bedroom, a wood burner for you and your furry friends to enjoy, and a bath with a view.

The beautifully converted barn has been updated with high-end finishes and lots of attention to detail. There’s a lovely mix of original and contemporary features, with the focus on style throughout. The kitchen/diner has wooden beams and exposed brickwork, and plenty of space to cook and enjoy your creations. The lounge too has gorgeous features. On chilly evenings, light the wood burner in the stone fireplace, curl up and watch the Smart TV or a movie. Upstairs, have a soak in the free-standing bath in the stunning bathroom. The super-king (can be made up as a twin) has plenty of storage space and French doors lead to a bridge to the enclosed garden. Relax on the sun loungers and patio furniture, have a BBQ, or sit at the front with your morning cuppa.

Head out for a walk or bike ride on the much-loved Camel Trail, an 18-mile route which runs from Wenfordbridge to Padstow and passes the end of the lane. Discover the dramatic scenery of Bodmin Moor, wander along the headland on the South West Coast Path (9 miles away) for incredible views. Explore the biomes at the Eden Project (16.5 miles), home to the world’s largest indoor rainforest and over 1000 plant species. Padstow (16.5 miles), famous for its harbour and eateries, is worth visiting as is trendy Rock (13 miles), across the estuary.

Bens Barn is outstanding. Exactly as described. So comfortable. Especially the bed. The bathroom is huge and comfortable to use. Small noggles for us (may not effect others) is having no access for the dogs to the garden. You have to go up 3 steepish steps then a grass bank which after the rain felt a bit unnerving, especially in the dark at night.Read more I also like to sleep with a window open but as it is a door that is not possible. Would not stop us going again but the info may be useful to others. Hide

The property was scrupulously clean, lovely large bathroom and extremely comfortable expansive bed. The lounge was rather dark (small.windows) but this did not bother us!

Bens Barn has everything you could need. The design and layout is well thought out and homely. The property is ideal for travelling around Cornwall or enjoying the tranquillity of being on Trenarlett farm. Bens Barn is a cosy property and boasts a self-contained garden - ideal for exercising or playing with your pets or having a cuppa in the gardenRead more. So much to do around the area and not too far from so many great places - Polzeath, Padstow, Bodmin, Wadebridge or further a field. We recommend walking the Camel Trail which is just down the hill from Trenarlett Farm. The owners are lovely and really helpful. Another holiday at Trenarlett is on our list! Hide
