Gilly Barn

We enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend this property. travelled as 4 Adults, 1 Baby, 1 Toddler plus Dog. Plenty of room for all . Due to Tracey the Housekeeper who we met when leaving the accommodation is immaculate & should be commended for doing such a great job. We used the Golden Lion once for a Takeaway , the food was fine it's a short drive down the lane . Beaches close by & Dog friendly out of season. ...

We loved the spacious cottage, and lovely views. Very convenient location for seeing loads nearby even though it is in a quiet and rural location. Close to National Trust places, pubs, seaside towns etc. We really enjoyed our stay and would have liked to stay longer. We would definitely come back again. The owner/housekeeper left us a couple of packs of biscuits/tea/coffee and milk, plus half a basket of logs/kindling. Thank you. Also the housekeeper did text us earlier in the day before arrival to say we could check in early if we wished - which was kind, but we couldn't arrive until 4pm. She checked we had settled in well which was nice of her. It would be great if there were some board games for families to use at the house (given the size of the house and as it is a family size property). The power showers were excellent powerful showers. Very nice large new white towels too. The decoration was nicely done and all in good condition. Nice clean comfortable house. The kitchen is good and large with everything we needed. The garden is lovely and big with views all around, in a peaceful location (with dairy herd of cattle going up to be milked each day in the next door farm) - so would be fab as a spring/summer property to sit and enjoy the garden and countryside views outside. Definitely recommend the Hidden Hut cafe by the beach. Fantastic location and food by the beach and coast path. Also in Mousehole 2 Fore Street fish restaurant was excellent. Lanhydrock National Trust is very interesting. There are loads of long sandy beaches nearby. Unfortunately we tried to light the log burner 3 times (as per instructions) and could not get it to light (only the kindling), even though we use a log burner successfully at home. That was a pity because the lovely round room was not that warm with just radiators (at the end of September). So may be cold in the winter. It didn't look like the log burner had been used (new and clean) so maybe other people have the same issue. There was a leaky radiator valve in that round room which we told the housekeeper about. The zip and link bed was not made up as a double (even though requested) and the beds are not that long (our feet went to the end and I am 5ft6). There were 2 single duvets which kept coming off in the night (a bit small) so worth taking two single sheets with you to put under the duvets to keep you covered. We would be very happy to go back to stay at Gilly Barn. There is so much to do within in easy reach from the cottage. ...

This is our second stay and Gilly Barn, it is a beautiful property that has been very well presented and decorated, with attention to detail to make for a wonderful stay. The cleanliness throughout the property is of a very a high standard. The cottage is in a stunning and peaceful setting which is a fab location for exploring the north and south coasts....

A superb quality cottage, beautiful decoration, interior design and exceptionally clean with very comfortable beds! A wonderful tranquil location to really get away from it all, but very convenient for visiting both the North and South coasts. I would definitely recommend and we would not hesitate to come back. ...
