What a lovely place. Comfortable beds and both bedrooms havw en-suite, 2hich was a bonus. Kitchen was really well kitted out and it was lovely to find dog bowls, matt and towel ready to use on arrival. Very dog friendly with enclosed garden. We made full use of the free view TV and wood burner in the evenings. Lovely location on a farm. Host was really friendly and accommodating.

We had a wonderful time at Hendra Barn. The barn was equipped with everything you could possibly need for a self-catering stay. The accommodation was clean and maintained to a high standard. We appreciated the extra touches, such as milk and biscuits on arrival. The location is perfect for coastal walks and exploring nearby towns. We hope to return again in the future.

Had a wonderful stay. House was so cosy and had all the amenities we needed including a washer dryer which came in handy after long dog walks. The owner left a lovely packet of biccies for us and also some dog treats and towel. Only thing I would say is that the beds were a little on the hard side, perhaps a mattress topper could make the difference. Overall had a great stay.

Thankyou for leaving us a lovely review Gillian. Apologies to hear the mattress wasn't to your liking we always get such great feedback on our beds and mattresses, of course we would have been happy to supply a mattress topper to make things extra comfortable for you! Next time 😊

Had an excellent week at Hendra Barn. It's in a great location for exploring the north Cornish coast and also going inland. Incredibly spacious upstairs with lovely views. The kitchen is well set out and had everything we needed for cooking a few meals. Great wifi and a smart TV. Our dog loved having a floor length window to look out. Set on a working farm but apart from a few tractors we were completely undisturbed. It's far enough off the road not to hear any traffic noise but not at all isolated. There were young lambs in the field out the front of the cottage which we enjoyed watching and have never seen so many swallows! Met the farmer when we arrived and mistakenly parked on the wrong side of the building. He was so friendly and welcoming and proceeded to show us round the barn. Any queries were answered promptly and we wouldn't hesitate to return. Lovely biscuits provided when we arrived!

A beautiful barn conversion in a gorgeous countryside setting. Very homely and cosy. I can’t fault it! Lovely owners, very friendly and welcoming. The garden area was lovely and you could see the farm animals. The secure field opposite the barn was brilliant and perfect for the pooches. The coastal walk on the doorstep of the barn was great and had amazing views. The sunset there was surreal. Would definitely recommend and we’ll be visiting again!

Hendra Barn was everything we'd hoped for, it was simply magical!It had everything we could ever have hoped for, plus a charm that we'd never encountered before, the setting, the surrounding area, it was simply perfect! We also got to celebrate our daughters 20th birthday in the barn, which was decorated accordingly. We even had a new family of Swifts, where we were able to encounter the babies first flight's, all magical!! We quite simply can't wait to return!!!

Perfect NY stay

Beautifully cosy and clean stay. Great location for beaches, pubs, walks, cycle trail. Coast 30 mins walk (we did it with 2 kids on a very wet and windy day). Enclosed garden for the dog and kids overlooking the farm. Great communication with the host and checked we were settled in. Really comfy beds, lovely showers and floor fire. Kids loved being able to see the animals from the window. Perfect perfect stay - thank you

This is a beautiful location. The cottage itself is spotlessly clean and cosy with everything you need. Plenty of room for a family of 4. If you’re after a peaceful spot this is perfect. Only a very short drive to Port Isaac. We would love to come back again next year for a longer stay. Hosts are also extremely friendly :-) Thanks so much for having us.

A peaceful retreat

The property is located on a working farm, in some ways reminiscent of Italian agriturismo. The listing is accurate and the property is excellently presented. A car is essential and the location is perfect for a relaxing getaway. The only very minor drawback which is in no way the fault of the owners is the road leading over towards the property is very narrow and passing oncoming vehicles can sometimes be a bit tricky. All in all I thoroughly recommend a stay.

Beautiful Farm Holiday

This is a beautiful place to spend a relaxing time in the country. You are away from the busy tourist areas yet they are in easy reach by car. We stayed in the barn which is very spacious and well equipped. It was perfect for our ourselves and our two adult sons. The Seaview farm shop just up the road had most of the groceries we needed for our stay and is a great place to have a drink and admire the views. Coming from Australia, we found the narrow Cornish roads quite challenging but that's all part of the experience. Natalie was lovely and a wonderful host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hendra Farm and would love to spend more time there if we are in the UK again. Thanks Natalie and team.
