    “We had a wonderful time overall.”

    The barn itself is absolutely beautiful, and the location is fantastic. The welcoming treats were a lovely touch, and the hot tub and sound system were a real bonus that made the stay feel extra special. There were a few drawbacks, though. The temperature setup was a bit restrictive - we often felt too warm even though the weather was fairly mild. It was especially noticeable at night; a lighter duvet for the summer months would really help. At the same time, we struggled to dry our towels ...

    The barn itself is absolutely beautiful, and the location is fantastic. The welcoming treats were a lovely touch, and the hot tub and sound system were a real bonus that made the stay feel extra special. There were a few drawbacks, though. The temperature setup was a bit restrictive - we often felt too warm even though the weather was fairly mild. It was especially noticeable at night; a lighter duvet for the summer months would really help. At the same time, we struggled to dry our towels after use, as there wasn’t really anywhere to air them out. A few more hooks in the bathroom or even a line outside would make a big difference. There also weren’t any oven gloves, which made cooking a bit awkward. Something small but worth fixing for future guests. We were also surprised to be asked to strip all the beds before leaving. We've never been asked to do this at other properties, and with a 9:30am checkout and a long journey ahead, it felt like an extra task that really should be handled by the cleaning team. One last thing to note. When we ran the washing machine to clean up a few things after a rainy day, there was a strong drain smell while it was on, which wasn’t pleasant. That said, the barn is a stunning place to stay, and with a few small tweaks, it would be pretty close to perfect.

Boskensoe Barns

Head to the sought-after village of Mawnan Smith and along an idyllic country lane to this cluster of five boutique barn conversions (including Pig House ref: 966634, Mill House ref: 965738, The Stable ref: 966635, and The Long House ref: 966636, positioned in a pretty courtyard, and The Granary ref: 1040635 ), all surrounded by mellow countryside setting on a working farm. Guests will love the luxury of this location which combines the simplicity of rural life with easy access to the South Cornish coast path and beaches. The beautiful creeks and woodlands of the Helford are under a ten minute drive. You can hire a motor boat, kayak or dinghy, explore the Helford Passage on water and stop for a sumptuous seafood lunch and a refreshing hand-crafted Cornish ale at the waterfront Ferryboat Inn. For traditional beach days out, the beautiful sandy cove at Maenporth is a short drive away and perfect for swimming, sun-bathing and rock pooling. A string of golden beaches and fabulous Falmouth, with its good pubs, restaurants, art galleries and shops, are located a little further along the coast. Soak up Falmouth’s nautical vibe with a visit to the National Maritime Museum and bustling marina or sail along the beautiful banks of the Fal River to St Mawes on the Roseland and Truro. For garden lovers, the nearby Trebah and Glendurgan Gardens are a must for the holiday itinerary. Return from coastal escapades and relax in the shared garden with a pergola, garden furniture and a barbecue while the children let off steam in the play area complete with a climbing frame. Choose Boskensoe for a rural break to remember.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
