The Old Barn, Lower Tresithick Farm

This was our second stay at The Old Barn, and we had a fabulous time - such a great location to explore Cornwall. As well as having beautiful countryside on the doorstep and a great beach nearby for an early morning dip, Truro is super handy for shops and supermarkets. Bryher and Mark are the best hosts, with a wealth of suggestions and knowledge. Wonderful! Thank you xx

A beautifully tranquil spot, with wonderful walks from your door step and gorgeous Cornish beaches a stone's throw away. Truro is nearby for great food and supplies too. The location suited our over-reactive dog, Molly, who Bryher and Mark kindly accommodated. We even managed our very first pub trip with her after Mark's recommendation! We had a great stay, I'm just sorry it's taken this long to write a review! I'm now searching for our future home in the area!

We had a very relaxing time at The Old Barn, Tresithick Farm. Previously we had struggled to find somewhere with a private, secure garden for our reactive dog. Mark and Bryher were so understanding and made us feel very welcome. Bryher’s sourdough bread was totally scrumptious, and the freshly laid eggs were delicious. The Barn was clean, extremely well equipped, and really comfortable. Loads of lovely walks straight out of the door. The nearby chain ferry took us over to the Roseland peninsula where there are lots of dog friendly beaches. We are really looking forward to a return visit.

We had the most delightful stay and can’t wait to return. Everything was perfect - peaceful, quiet, well equipped and wonderful hosts. We travelled with our dog, and all loved it. Thank you for making our weekend so relaxing - it was the perfect Cornish Tonic

This is a delightful place; superbly spacious, clean and well-maintained accommodation with walks and views on the doorstep. The hosts are so amenable and welcoming, providing all the local information you need. It is a home from home - Bryher has thought of everything - fresh flowers, soap, tissues, not forgetting the beautiful eggs from the chickens in the orchard. If you need a backup meal for home, the well-stocked Spa shop in the village has the Cooks frozen range, and the staff are very helpful!

We had a glorious stay at the Old Barn for the full week we were there. We came for a wedding, so this was a special trip, particularly as we were joined by our son (an A&E doctor) who needed a rest. The setting is green and lovely, the old barn is immaculate, and all the rooms are filled with comfort and ease. Everything was well nigh perfect. Wonderful communications beforehand, and then flowers and eggs and bread and all we could need waiting for us, and a list of places to visit and to eat in: Bryher's efficiency and kindness made our stay glorious. I intend to go back, every year!

We arrived to be greeted by an excellent cream tea which was most welcome after the journey. The accommodation was perfect for us - quiet, plenty of space for a couple and a dog and great dog walks nearby. Bedroom was very comfortable. Good recommendations by our hosts for food and drink and other activities. Would certainly book again.

It was our first visit to the Old Barn with my hubby & dogs for an extended weekend break and we were warmly welcomed by Bryher & Mark. Surroundings and accommodation were lovely, everything thought off. Hope to revisit in the near future to take advantage of the many dog friendly walks within the vicinity & enjoy visiting more pubs x a must for newbies should be The Standard pub @ Portscatho & IndiDog @ Falmouth

The Old Barn was very comfortable and warm with excellent facilities and provisions. Bryher welcomed us with a delicious Cornish cream tea which was very much appreciated. The homemade scones and jam are to be highly recommended. Communication with Bryher during booking and prior to our arrival was excellent. Bryher and Mark were very welcoming and provided a wealth of information on walks, beaches and eateries. We hope to return soon

Another fabulous escape to this idyllic place. If you need some escapism this is the ideal location. Tranquil setting in a beautiful barn. The farm is beautifully kept with fabulous walks on your doorstop and afar. So many beautiful beaches nearby and wonderful places to eat. Cannot recommend highly enough. Bryher and Mark the hosts are fabulous and we loved learning about the farm, the animals and location. Perfect for our 10 year old! Just a perfect place all round!

We had a lovely stay at Bryher and Mark’s cottage. ‘The Old Barn’ is situated at the end of a farm lane with several scenic walks from the cottage itself helpfully described by Mark and Bryher. The creekside walks were a firm favourite. It was also very easy to access other areas of interest such as the Roseland peninsula, Falmouth and Truro while the gardens at Trelissick were almost adjacent! The cottage itself was very comfortable and the welcome provided by Bryher and Mark was much appreciated..a great place to stay.

We had a magical stay at the barn with our little girl. Everything was as described. Lovely little touches like the delicious cream tea on arrival and fresh milk & eggs. The barn was very clean and had all amenities you need. We loved coming out of the barn and seeing the chickens roaming free and our little girl loved feeding the sheep apples from the orchard across from the barn. We would highly recommend staying here and can’t wait to return.

Will we book again; yes. Accommodation was perfect exactly what we wanted. Bryher and Mark are wonderful hosts. Pre-booking arrangements were timely, clear and simple. The barn was airy and cool, essential when we had the hot week in August ! The main open plan living area was a perfect size with good space for cooking, eating and relaxing. Bedrooms down stairs were spacious and cool. Bathroom had all we needed. Everything was clean tidy and well equipped. Everything worked. To be welcomed with a cream tea after a long drive was a great treat. The location is perfect. Quiet, but easy to g

We stayed with our toddler & Jack Russell. Excellent and quick comms w/ Bryher beforehand who also very kindly took delivery of our food ahead of our arrival. We checked in at 11pm which was easy and lovely to have a cream tea as a late snack after a long journey!The location superb for travelling north & south and the barn was extremely well equipped with everything & more! It’s rare to find a place in the middle of the countryside which is both peaceful, child & dog friendly! We didn’t do much walking in the end but great to have somewhere to walk the dog without having to travel anywhere!

We booked a week at the Old Barn and it gave us everything we were looking for in a break, including sunshine! The setting is so peaceful and secluded. The barn is immaculate, incredibly spacious and finished to a very high standard with gorgeous fresh flowers and a cream tea on arrival. The kitchen was very well-equipped. We loved relaxing in the sunny courtyard and had several BBQs on the terrace. Bryher and Mark are such welcoming hosts who are on hand if needed with fresh eggs or suggestions of where to visit. It was lovely to have so many many walks from the door. Would highly recommend!

We have just returned from a wonderful few days staying at The Old Barn. Bryher and Mark were so kind and helpful, not least in welcoming our booking at short notice. The cottage is bright, warm, extremely clean and comfortable and really well equipped. It is an excellent base with many places to walk close by or slightly further afield and large gardens to explore. The walks from the house are gorgeous, through the woods and down to the creek and the wild spring flowers were prolific and wonderful. We feel so lucky to have found this place and will definitely return, hopefully for longer

What a lovely spot with sunshine and flowers in bloom, we really enjoyed the local paths and coastal walks on your door step plus a great base to explore further. Mark & Bryher's cosy barn conversion tucked away also makes a nice place to relax and chill out. Somewhere we would return to.

Beautiful barn conversion with everything we could need, set in perfect Cornish countryside. Bryher and Mark were great hosts and it was lovely to arrive to a cream tea and flowers. Ideal spot for country walks or for exploring everything Cornwall has to offer. Very strongly recommended.

We feel so lucky to have found The Old Barn for our holiday in Cornwall. It is in the perfect spot ll's most lovely to visit some of Cornwall's most lovely towns and more secluded hayes and inlets. The barn was perfect for our stay with our 2-year-old with plenty of space indoor and out. Our daughter, Evie, loved feeding the chickens and playing with Makeral the farm cat. the best thing for me was the fact we could walk out the door and do some amazing walks, perfect for those wanting longer or shorter routes (we did a walk thorugh fields to a pub with our two-year-old and no buggy).

Tastefully converted barn in very peaceful surroundings. Ideal spot for walkers since footpaths abound directly from site. Bryher and Mark are wonderful hosts . We had dogs with us who enjoyed their many countryside walks and walks to the Creek. Within a half hour pleasant walk from the barn is " The Soup Bowl and Ladle" We visited 3 times- good gastro pub with very well trained staff. All in all a wonderful holiday - thank you Bryher and Mark. The only cautionary note would be - the Barn could be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. An Oasis in the desert of Life !!!
