In the area

Tucked away in the countryside yet just ten minutes from the glorious north Cornish coastline, this is a stunning retreat from which to explore. Head to the coast and you can join the South West Coastal Path in either direction for stupendous, scenery-loaded walks whilst inland you'll find ancient woodland and Minster Church, a spiritual site since the 6th century. The village of Boscastle itself has plenty of places to visit or get a bite to eat and drink, whilst Boscastle Farm Shop is the perfect spot for buying fabulous local produce, plus there's a café too. Just up the coast you’ll discover Tintagel, famed abode of King Arthur, whilst magical St Nectan’s Glen is a stunning natural phenomenon. Further along the coast the beautiful sandy beach of Trebarwith Strand awaits, whilst Port Isaac is a gorgeous seaside village with exceptional restaurants. The incredible Camel Estuary is a must and foodie capital Padstow is well worth a visit. Head inland to mysterious Bodmin Moor for raw wilderness, whilst there's an abundance of beaches nearby for windswept walks during winter or long sunny days swimming; Crackington Haven, Bude, Widemouth Bay, Bossiney Cove and Polzeath are well worth a visit.

Our Cornish retreat! What a fabulous place to retreat for a while. Superbly appointed and equipped house. It was perfect for our three-generation family, the youngsters particularly enjoyed all the garden games. The beautiful basket of goodies was deeply appreciated too. We all absolutely loved the terrace, the firepits, all the outdoor spaces and the walks. Thank you again, fab-u-lous!

A really lovely house and property. We will have wonderful memories of this visit.

Cornish Barton is truly a wonderful home, thank you for allowing us all (14 ranging from 3 - 80) to share it with you. Clearly a phenomenal amount of work has gone into producing a stunning property - the designers and builders have done a magnificent job for which we congratulate them. Attention to detail has been much appreciated. Wonderful family holiday - and with 7 days of wall-to-wall sunshine!

What a beautiful house! We had a wonderful week here, such a brilliant location, peaceful, well-designed house. Beautiful countryside, lovely house with lots of space and near to Farm Stores with delicious meat and Cafes. Port Isaac is close by - my favourite village.

Cornish Barton is beautiful and much bigger than it looks in the pictures. We spent most of our time sitting around and chatting in the kitchen enjoying the views. Everyone commented how well they slept in the big comfy beds!

Thank you for a lovely stay. The house was warm and cosy with spectacular views, many thanks.

Gorgeous ‘wow’ house, perfect for a Christmas break. Amazing fire for cosy nights in and gorgeous countryside.

Fabulous stay, family thoroughly enjoyed.

Fantastic family stay.

We had all weathers the week we stayed and the house was perfect for it - family suppers in the beautiful dining room, drinks on the terrace by the outdoor fireplace, sunny breakfasts with doors open to the garden and cosy TV nights by the fire seeing out a storm. Really lovely area to explore too. Had a great stay, very comfortable beds, lovely baths and showers. It was such a lovely week, St Nectans Glen was a highlight and we loved Boscastle Harbour.

Had a lovely, peaceful stay. Beautiful garden and house, thank you.

The house is amazing, no stone has been left unturned. The house is so stylish and well equipped, you literally need to bring your shopping and yourself. I was very impressed. The beds were very comfortable and the whole house was spotless. I could not recommend this house enough. I will definitely be returning.

The house is very tastefully decorated, with high quality fittings and is equipped with everything that a visitor would need for both indoor and outdoor activities.The traditional feel of the barn is complemented by the modern renovation, with high tech features such as under floor heating and the HD TV.

All of the rooms are spacious, cosy and comfortable, and were spotlessly clean on arrival. The information provided was also of great use, and the local Cornish produce that were provided by the owners was a welcome addition.

We had a fantastic week in this gorgeous cottage with friends. The cottage has been finished to a very high standard and is equipped with all the mod cons. The beds were extremely comfy! A wonderful week had by all.
