Old Barn Tregonetha Reviews 

The Old Barn, Tregonetha, is the perfect holiday home. The house is beautifully designed for comfort and relaxation and the welcome goodies were AMAZING! Such a lovely way to start a holiday! Stephen and Allen could not have been kinder or more welcoming. We loved the gorgeous garden, the lovely views, and the peace and quiet. Tregonetha is also a very good base for exploring both south and north coasts of Cornwall. We wished we could have stayed so much longer and can't wait to return. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

Unfortunately for personal reasons we have had to cancel our planned first visit to this property in the autumn. I let Stephen know fully expecting that we would lose our deposit. Instead I almost immediately received a very kind and supportive voicemail message followed by an email reassuring me that of course our money would be without question immediately refunded which it was. We have both been so impressed with this amazing customer service. It is common to read of people being refused refunds or having significant charges deducted but there was none of this at all. Overall though. I think it’s the kindness and care demonstrated at a difficult time for us that has made the most difference. We most definitely hope to rebook in the future and cannot recommend this property and its owners too highly.

Great base to stay whilst enjoying the sights and sounds of Cornwall. The cottage is very well equipped, beautifully finished and well located for the beach and seaside towns such as Padstow. The house has a generous garden which is great for young children and is located in a quiet village with views of the countryside. The food and drink hamper, and cakes and pasties that were brought in for us exceeded our expectations. Stephen was very welcoming and offered advice on things to do, as well as being on hand should you need any further help with anything. Highly recommended!

Superb property in a great location if you want to be a short drive away from the hustle and bustle of Padstow. Everything in Old Barn is luxuriously finished and the welcome hamper is a cut above anything we've experienced before. EV chargers are a real bonus too. Stephen could not have been better host, full of helpful advice. We loved it and will return.

Our holiday at the Old Barn was fabulous. Stephen and Allen are warm and welcoming, and the accommodation is second to none. Everything you might need and more is provided for you. The luxury Cornish treats are delicious and the extras of fresh flowers, full English breakfast and Cornish pasties were very much appreciated.

The Old Barn is perfectly located to easily explore the whole of Cornwall, and after a busy day out and about, you return to your luxurious base which is in a lovely peaceful and tranquil setting.

The Old Barn is one of the best places we have ever stayed in and we will, without doubt, most definitely return.

A lovely property and spacious, beautifully kept, garden. The barn is in a quiet, pretty location and we enjoyed hearing a wide variety of birdsong. The barn itself is very well appointed, spotless and extremely well provisioned. Fresh flowers, fixings for a full English breakfast, and a cream tea plus a basket of Cornish goodies were all included. The iwalk Cornwall app recommended by the owner W as really useful and we enjoyed lots of trips to the coast just 15 minutes away. The barn proved to be very well located all round with quick access to Padstow and coastal walks and a few minutes drive to the A39 for points further afield. We used a Tesla to get there and had dedicated use of a Tesla charger at the Barn which was very convenient. Excellent all round.

The Old Barn is the most relaxing place to stay - welcoming but unobtrusive hosts, a wonderful and thoughtfully curated welcome basket, luxurious bedding and a super comfortable bed. A good night's sleep guaranteed and you wake up to bird song.

The kitchen is amazing, has an Aga and absolutely everything you might need, even a stand mixer.

Tregonetha is a lovely quiet location yet close to everything so you can have as quiet or lively a break as you like.

Looking forward to the next visit already.

This was our second visit to The Old Barn and it would be safe to say it did not disappoint. The location was just perfect for all of our day trips and meant that we could keep our children entertained even though not everything was open as it was all just so accessible !

The standard of the cottage was second to none and we loved the attention to detail in the care package of food and drinks that were left for us, coupled with the delivery of delicious fresh Cornish Pasties from Stephen !

Could not recommend this cottage or it’s hosts more highly !

The Old Barn is a real home from home, so clean and comfortable with the friendliest of welcomes from Stephen and Allen and very generous food hamper on arrival. This was our second stay and it was beautifully decorated for Christmas, with the woodburner (and ready supplies) ensuring a cosy and relaxed week's stay. Perfectly suited for a family (and dog!) friendly holiday and the EV charger is so convenient. Thank you - we can't wait to go back!

We were lucky enough to still have our family, half term break, here in Oct. We certainly were not disappointed and had a wondeful week ( despite the unpredictable weather ). The Barn was the perfect, most luxurious base for us. It’s perfectly located for lots of exploring around beautiful Cornwall.
The property is stunning ( the photos do not do it justice!! ), immaculate, spacious and has lots of mod cons you wouldn’t normally encounter in a holiday property. Steve and his partner have literally thought of everything. And the added touches of the generous welcome hamper, refridgerated goods and delivery of warm, fresh, local pasties on the first morning make it extra welcoming and personal. There’s no wonder they keep winning top notch awards!!!
The Barn really is a gem of a property and we’ve found the perfect base now for our future Cornish family adventues.

Fabulous holiday cottage, could not fault it. No wonder it won the best in Cornwall. Great location too, near the beaches, restaurants and food outlets that make this northern coast of Cornwall so special. Owners could not have been more helpful, and the welcome hamper and the supplies in the cottage were the most generous we have ever encountered. Lucky enough to get a last minute booking. Will be booking for the same time next year.

So disappointed that our 2 weeks at The Old Barn has been cancelled due to the National Lockdown. However, within 2 days Stephen has replayed 100% of the rental fee. What a gentleman he is.

We are looking forwarded to returning in 2021 for a 4th time. Stay safe

We visited the Old Barn for our honeymoon and it was such a lovely experience. We were greeted with a personalised vegan hamper and some of the best almond croissants we have had. The condition of the Old Barn was immaculate, I can't see a single person being disappointed. Fit for a family trip or a long weekend away for a couple. We will be visiting again in the coming year!

Stephen and Allen are very hospitable, kind and helpful. Their eco-friendly spacious beautifully converted barn was a pleasure to occupy and was spotlessly clean throughout. The furnishings are of a high standard and the kitchen is very well equipped. Finding a 5 star property which accepts 2 dogs is rare but Stephen and Allen welcomed our two mutts who met up briefly with their 3 delightful dogs. Stephen and Allen were never intrusive but are at the end of a phone/text to help with any queries. The enclosed south facing garden is lovingly tended and full of beautiful flowers and shrubs. Previous reviewers have mentioned the welcome pack and cream tea on arrival which was extremely generous and very welcome after a long car journey. The fluffy bath robes were also appreciated and a rare find in a holiday let. Tregonetha is a good location to explore mid, south and north Cornwall and despite many tourists in the coastal hotspots (due to Covid restrictions not permitting holiday folk to fly abroad) retreating back to quiet and peaceful Old Barn at the end of a busy day was welcome. The Wifi was excellent and we took a fire TV stick 4K enabling us to stream Netflix etc. The only item I missed was a hand held shower for hair washing and bath cleaning! The shared access is a bit rough and uneven but is a very short distance. Thank you Stephen and Allen.

There is something truly special about The Old Barn, maybe it's the Aga warming the kitchen, maybe it is the sheets, crisp in their Egyptian cotton. Could it me the Hamper of Cornish treats, the lovely hot showers, the afternoon tea upon arrival, the fact it is spotlessly clean? They are all marvellous things - what I think is truly special about The Old Barn is that Stephen and Alan seem to have thought about everything you will need - even when you do not know it yourself.

Review*: What a fantastic place the Old Barn is. Beautifully renovated, to a very high specification but at the same time with homely and relaxing comfort. Stephen and Allen are the most generous hosts, with such attention to detail to leave you not wanting for anything... except slightly better weather during our stay! The measures in place to handle the additional arrangements for COVID-19 are faultless and sensibly employed. The hygiene and cleanliness is spotless. We were here for the week celebrating our anniversary and we were so well looked after - the welcome array of goodies is just the most extensive we have ever seen anywhere. And then the pasties on our next morning were just gorgeous. All told, the Old Barn is worthy of all the accolades Stephen and Allen have rightfully earned - it is home away from home and we hope it’s not too long before we can escape for a return visit. Thank you so much for a lovely break. Our best wishes to you both, Sarah and Paul

Absolutely 5*, by far the nicest property we have stayed in! Stephen and Allen are wonderful hosts we received a very warm welcome, nothing is too much trouble and so much thought has been given to every aspect; from providing the most amazing welcome pack including fresh local produce for breakfast, pasties, fresh fruit and cheese to fresh flowers (the list of goodies is endless), there was even a cake and balloon waiting for one of our party who was celebrating a big birthday, which was all hugely appreciated and made the visit even more special.

The property itself is full of character and beautifully furnished, so comfortable and relaxing, again there was absolutely everything you could need, must mention the comfortable beds, even gowns and toiletries were provided. Everywhere was immaculate, spotlessly clean with all precautions taken.

We experienced mixed weather during our stay, we had the pleasure of sitting in the sun in the very private and beautiful garden but equally felt cosy and warm indoors on the more unsettled days. A great place to stay whatever the weather! In a lovely peaceful location, near enough to easily visit the more popular places but also really convenient to visit a number of different beaches with a choice of coastal walks.

An exceptional place to stay and we can’t wait to visit again …..

This is a wonderful property. Brilliantly converted and maintained in immaculate condition, the house combines original features with all the modern touches you could hope for. It is extremely well-equipped, with the kitchen including everything you need for even the most ambitious piece of home cooking - all aided by a good collection of cookery books!
Not least of all, we were provided with an amazing grocery pack, including everything from sausage, bacon & eggs, fresh fruit and cheeses, through to bread, scones, biscuits, cakes and chocolates! There was even a comprehensive selection of spices and sauces to help with those recipes! And we mustn’t forget the freshly-baked pasties that our host, Stephen, also brought to us - another very thoughtful touch.
Stephen is a fantastic host; a genuinely kind, thoughtful and attentive owner who will do all he can to make sure his guests are happy. With ‘Old Barn’ Stephen has created one of the very best holiday homes you could wish to stay in and we are already looking at when we will next be able to return. ‘Old Barn’ is first class in every respect!

Just back from another great week at Old Barn - 4th time staying , well looked after once again by Stephen and Alan . Welcome Hamper and fresh pasties delivered a continued nice touch ! New Covid guidelines worked perfectly ! See you in 2021 all being well ! Thanks again

The Old Barn is a beautiful place to stay. Stephen is an excellent host with a keen eye for detail, ensuring an unforgettable holiday.
