“Beautiful converted barn..tempting to relax here, yet gorgeous Cornwall beaches are just on the door step”
Mowhay Barn is a perfect blend of modern and traditional, with all we wanted for a relaxing break, such as comfortable beds, powerful showers, and a large cosy corner sofa. The traditional feel of the wooden beams and the wood burner is complemented by modern touches such as wifi, a gas bbq and a dishwasher. There were many thoughtful touches upon arrival such as dishwasher tablets, maps of the area, flowers, and tea and coffee. The large upstairs area sold it to us; it was perfect for our group of 20s-30s from different nationalities to relax, cook, play games, watch dvds etc.
Even though it used to be a barn it is nice and warm, and in fact we were glad to have the excuse of using the wood burner one night after enjoying a leisurely bbq in the courtyard area.
It was special staying on a farm, but also being very close to two beautiful beaches; Watergate Bay (walkable) and Mawgan Porth. We even enjoyed a surf lesson at King Surf on Mawgan Porth beach. Other highlights included a cream tea (sweet and savoury) at St Mawgan Village Stores tea rooms, the Eden Project, and a wonderful time cycling the Camel Trail (routes between Bodmin and Padstow; parking and hiring bikes in Wadebridge). Although we had parking spaces for both our cars we noticed bus stops into Newquay nearby and the airport.
Nb It worked out well to order food from Asda online and have it delivered to the barn.
Liked best:
The big open space upstairs enabled a great feeling of being together: Some could chill with a book in a corner, others cook & lay the table, someone else could jam with a guitar on a bar stool etc
Liked least:
Having to leave!
