Kernel's Barn certainly provided us with the perfect base for the continuation of my South West Coastal Path charity walk. We chose this holiday cottage for its proximity to the path and we were not disappointed, as the sections we were walking on the North Coast were often just a 5 minute drive away! Much to our delight we also found this cottage really well equipped and comfortable making our stay very enjoyable. The WIFI had a good signal so we had no problems carrying out necessary admin tasks relating to our lengthy stays away from home. Whilst staying here it was wonderful to pass through Chapel Porth beach and once again enjoy a delicious iced hedgehog which tasted as good as I remember it! Had we had any spare time we would have enjoyed using the lovely sunny garden space thoughtfully provided by Sally and Colin for their guests. Additionally, we would not have been able to resist using the coast to coast cycle trail, which is mostly off road and passing yards from the lane and Kernel's Barn, is a trail that we have enjoyed on several occasions previously!! ...

A perfect cottage in a great location. The hosts were fantastic and my boys loved the atmosphere on the farm. I would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you. 5 STARS.

The lane to the property is not easy to spot but if you delay putting the post code into your satnav until you leave the junction of the A30 then its fine ,put it on early and you will go down many country lanes which can be a nightmare First class locality for exploring Cornwall, cottage is exceptional so are the hosts...

At Kernel's Barn you really are perfectly located to explore all over Cornwall even with the infamous Cornish backroads! We'd always recommend our directions that come in your holiday preparation guide as they come from firsthand experience and are sometimes even better than our trusty Satnavs. We're so pleased though that you thought the cottage was exceptional as well as the hosts and we'd hope to see you back here in Cornwall soon again. ...

Another wonderful holiday at Kernel's Barn, Colin and Sally are great hosts, our daughter was able to help with feeding the chickens and egg collecting, the highlight of her stay. The house was clean and comfortable, a peaceful and relaxing location within easy reach to Portreath and Porthtowan. ...

We have just returned from a 5 day stay at Kernels Barn. It was lovely the barn is beautiful and absolutely spotless. The hosts had left a cream tea for us in the fridge which was a lovely surprise and we had the use of a lovely garden at the property. The hosts Colin and Sally were very friendly and we enjoyed a visit to see Colin’s prize heifer Nectarine. The barn is in beautiful countryside but only minutes away from 2 beaches and places to eat. I would highly recommend the truly charming property and will definitely visit again. Thank you. ...
