“Little private escape!”
+The whole experience of the beautifully restored barley mill within such a fantastic location was perfect for a relaxing private break! Absolutely ansum.
−Although being confident drivers we could see how some would struggle with the steep twisty tight lane leading to and from the property. But take your time shouldn't be a problem 😉

“2 night stay”
+We had such a perfect stay at Barley Mill. The location down in a valley is beautiful and almost otherworldly with a river in the private garden. It's a charming old little mill on the outside, but when you come in it's decorated so stylishly it belongs in an interiors magazine - somehow manages to combine feeling very high end with feeling cosy, romantic and whimsical. Everything has been designed so thoughtfully, with a bespoke wooden kitchen making the most of the living area upstairs. We cooked twice while there using the 2 x induction hobs and found everything we needed (pans, knives, chopping board, etc). The bed and shower are both excellent. The walk to Marsland Mouth beach is gorgeous, going through woods, meadows and cliff top paths. The Old Smithy Inn pub is also walking distance, but brace yourself for the steep hill. Thank you again Amy and Will for a fantastic stay. You should be proud of yourself for creating such a lovely place.
−Leaving!

“A magical and peaceful retreat that exceeded our expectations and left us wishing we could stay long”
+A truly magical retreat in an outstanding location, offering complete privacy with the entire property to yourself. Surrounded by nature, with its own stream running through the cute garden and easy access to the South West Coast Path, it is the perfect place to relax and explore. Despite its peaceful setting, a welcoming local pub and amenities are just a short uphill walk away. Our host was exceptional, contacting us before arrival with clear directions and access instructions for Barley Mill, as well as sharing excellent recommendations for discovering the area's hidden gems. A perfect combination of tranquillity, comfort, and thoughtful hospitality.

“Quirky little gem”
+We absolutely loved the cosy decor & everything in it! All to a very high standard. The setting is beautiful, the trees, the river & the little balcony is wonderful. Loved the selection of board games too, we enjoyed them on the balcony! We cannot wait to return.

“Wonderful and charming!”
+Tasteful renovation and detail. Plenty of light even on a rainy day. Lovely small wood burning stove. Setting along side rushing stream and access to spectacular walk to the sea.
−Bed was small with one side against the wall but, nonetheless, we still slept well. Road down to the property was very narrow and curvy - def too narrow for large car.

“The best stay in Cornwall!”
+The best staycation we have had in a while - Hosts were accommodating with an early check in for us to enjoy more of our stay (even left us a with few treats to enjoy). The property has everything you’ll need even if you don’t plan on venturing out - if you do it’s very close to the seaside, shops and restaurants. Hosts are on site which is handy but you definitely do have privacy to enjoy your stay. Everything is a described and is perfect for couples or anyone looking for a nice getaway. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back soon.
−Couldn’t fault anything, our stay was everything and more with the best hosts.
