The barns were bought by the present owners (Guy and Sarah) in 2006 as derelict agricultural buildings. The barns were sympathetically and lovingly restored by Guy to ensure that the character and quirks of the barns were maintained - these features can be seen particularly in Hideaway Barn where, for example, the 'nooks' that would have housed the farmer's candles years ago whilst he fed the cattle have been retained....thankfully they are now lit by electricity rather than candlelight!
Sampson Barn was made available to the holiday rental market in 2015 and we have had the pleasure of welcoming guests back to the barn for their second, third and even fourth visit in this time.
Hideaway Barn was updated in 2018 and offered to the holiday rental market in summer 2019 - it has had its fair share of repeat bookings already!
We are 100% dog friendly, not just dog tolerant! We have our own furry family and we understand how important it is that the dogs feel at home as well as the owners. We do just ask you to bring your own throws/bedding if your dogs are used to sitting on the sofa or sleeping on your bed.
The barns are located in a small hamlet within easy access of the major towns of Penzance, Helston, St Ives and Hayle. The beach is just a 5 minute drive away which means that you can enjoy the benefits of the coast whilst still enjoying your own space during busy months.
Our housekeeping staff have always kept the barns exceptionally clean. Since the Covid-19 outbreak, staff have been fully briefed on the additional sanitising measures and this is rigorously checked by Sarah in between check-out and check-in.
Booking through us means that you are booking directly with the holiday accommodation owner. Cutting out the 'middle-man' simplifies communication and helps to ensure that all your holiday needs are met. There are no booking fees, no unforeseen additional fees for 'extras' and no commission to be paid by us.
We offer a range of short breaks (minimum 3 nights) in the low and mid seasons. Do get in touch if you can't see the dates you are looking for and we'll see what we can do!
Do you charge for dogs?
No! No charge for dogs in Hideaway or Sampson.
How many dogs can we bring?
Well that depends.....2 dogs of any size, up to 5 medium and 7 small in Hideaway or Sampson.
How secure are the gardens?
Hideaway Barn has 4ft stock fencing at its lowest points and 9ft walls at the highest!
What about flooring?
We have grey carpets in both barns - please just wipe paws on the way in. Both barns have entrance areas for this purpose and outside taps.
Sampson now has an outside warm water shower specifically for dogs.
