Couples and solo travellers will find The Old Smithy Barn a straightforward base for a coastal escape. The conversion offers a single bedroom sleeping two, with a bathroom, and an open-plan living space that takes in natural light. There's a private balcony for morning coffee or evening drinks. The kitchen is properly equipped for self-catering, and essentials like electricity, bed linen and towels are included in your stay.
Truro's waterfront is within a mile, along with a pub within walking distance. The surrounding area holds maritime history and a working harbour; Pendennis Castle and the Fal River are nearby for exploration. The property does not permit smoking. Note that there is no parking at the barn itself, and access involves walking down steps to the front door.

What guests say
Excellent place to stay in lovely surroundings provided by very friendly people. The Old Barn is excellently appointed and comfortable. The eggs from Bryher and Mark's farm are excellent too. Carnon Downs is a short walk along a very quite road with an excellent Spar supermarket and a garden centre. In the oyther direction you get panoramic views of the sea and adjacent headlands. A little further on country paths is Trelissick House National Trust property, with a chain ferry across the river. Very strongly recommended as a place to stay with friendly hosts.

Lovely, quiet, 2 bedroom holiday cottage, situated next to owners farmhouse, situated at the end of a rough country road. Owners very friendly, and have great local knowledge of the area. Cottage is next to bridleway and footpath, so a walk down to Penpol Creek for a riverside walk to Devoran and the Old Quay Inn is recommended (good food). Trelissick Gardens is close by, and Truro and Falmouth are less then twenty minutes drive away, although you wouldn’t know it.
