Close to the coast and only 7 miles from the lovely sandy beach at Sennen Cove, this comfortable detached property enjoys a quiet location on the fringes of Pendeen village. Easy access to the coastal path makes this an ideal base for walkers and artists alike, and a scenic drive along the coast leads through Zennor to St Ives, 9 miles, with its quaint narrow streets and Tate gallery. The historic town of Penzance, 8 miles, offers excellent shops, an outdoor swimming pool, pubs and restaurants and both helicopter and ferry crossings to the Isles of Scilly. Land’s End is 9 miles. Shop and pub serving food 0. 25 miles.
Our third stay in four years at Tor Barn. Suffice to say, we really like it. Still essentially the same as what I've written in previous years. It's a value for money cottage in what is absolutely prime location in Penwith. It is very "cottagey". It is not the lux experience that some people expect from their cottages these days, but it is well enough equipped and very comfortable overall. Charming gardens around the cottage as well.
We ( 2 couples) enjoied our two week stay very much. Although it was a pity that some things were not renewed, like the rack for the wet laundry and the fryer pans. You couldn’t bake an egg in either of the pans. We had a small leak in the toilet and the outside lamp at the frontdoor was out of order. We had to experience our selves that the garbaige container had to be at the road on monday morning. It would have been better as we had recieved some pictures of the road to the cottage. You cannot see it from the road, so a more accurate navigation with some pictures would helped us finding it quicker. It is a quiet surrounding, close to the Atlantic ocean very nice for walkings. The nights were quiet, so very good to sleep. We might go again next year!
Our stay August, 2019
Great holiday, despite the weather! Fantastic local walks to ancient monuments. Easy access to lots of great places to visit: beaches, towns and other visitor attractions. Cottage spacious and well equipped with adequate parking and gardens.
