About this property

Peaceful rural retreat - w/Parking - close to Mousehole Beaches & Restaurants

  • This beautiful one bedroom dwelling dates back to the late 1800's and has been sympathetically restored by the present owners. Situated just a few miles above the village of Mousehole , the small rural hamlet of Chyenhal offers peace and tranquility for those who are looking for a relaxing holiday or short break, yet it is still in very easy reach of all the beautiful beaches , coves, restaurants and locations. The Long Barn is privately situated within the grounds of the owners own home with its own private garden areas , free Wifi and its own private parking space .


    A 10 minute drive down the A30 will find you at Lands End and the wonderful sandy beach of Sennen. One of the most beautiful surfing destinations in the UK.
    The famous fishing village of Mousehole is a 5 minute drive away , hosting a number of excellent restaurants and art galleries. Mousehole is famous for many events throughout the year including its ( biannual) Sea Salts and Sails festival , July 5th - 17th 2024, Tom Bawcocks Eve on the 23rd December , along with the wonderful Mousehole Christmas lights. Closing the year on New years Eve with a spectacular harbour fireworks display.

    Porthcurno and Porthchapel beaches, the famous Minack Theatre and Penberth Cove, which is regularly used in the filming of Poldark, are all around a 25 minute drive by car.

    Take a day trip to the Isle of Scilly, Lands End Air Port - 13 minutes drive - flights are daily . Or catch the ferry from Penzance . The ferry sails daily and is a 5 minute drive away from the property.

    Visit The Tate St.Ives and stay for lunch at one of the many eateries which serve wonderful locally caught fish dishes. St. Ives is a 30 minute drive away.

    The Long Barn offers a luxurious accommodation finished to a high standard in a peaceful rural setting. There is a very comfortable kingsize bed, with linen bedding. The property is centrally heated through out, along with a woodburner for those who like a real log fire ( logs and kindling supplied). Outside there are two small garden areas both with tables and seating for two people and a private parking space. Take a evening walk through the owners four acres of meadow to the sunset bench and watch the evening sun go down .

    Free Wifi at the property - and parking

    Beccy and Ben look forward to welcoming you to The Long Barn.

Just unbelievably beautiful!

This was one of the most beautiful vacation in my life - and I already travelled a lot! Starting with the warmest welcome I ever had from Beccy and then the very wonderful barn which is decorated with so much love (nothing is missing). Both, Beccy and Ben, are so very friendly and open people, it is just a pleasure to spend time there. If I ever will come back to Cornwall - only to the „Long Barn“. Thanks for everything! 😘

Perfect Cornish coastal retreat!

The barn was very light, bright and airy with a beachy coastal look to compliment it's location. It has 2 lovely little secluded garden areas just for guests...perfect for an afternoon cuppa or glass of prosecco after a day of sightseeing. It's very open plan inside but maintains a cosy feel. There's also designated off-road parking for guests. The location is very peaceful and is ideal for visiting local attractions such as Lands End, St Michael's Mount plus various beaches etc. The owners Becky and Ben live on site but are in no way intrusive. Becky greeted us on arrival and gave us a quick tour of the barn before leaving us to enjoy our holiday...and the welcome bottle of prosecco !! Both are very friendly and clearly very proud of their holiday home, which we wouldn't hesitate to rebook if we're down that way again.

We really had a great time. The house is very beautiful and I is quiet. In the kitchen is everything you need. Becky and Ben are very nice. It is exciting to reach the house, as the streets are very small. But from there you can reach many sights in a short time.

Perfect retreat.

Everything about our stay was wonderful, the warm welcome, beautifully decorated cottage, outstanding cleanliness, peaceful and beautiful area. When we go away the accommodation is one of the most important details for us and we really cannot praise The Long Barn enough, set in lush countryside and ideally placed to explore West Cornwall, we looked forward to returning to the sunny terrace for a glass of wine in the late afternoons. Thank you Beccy and Ben, we’ll see you again.

Tastefully Cornish

The perfect VRBO. Everything worked and attention to detail was evident. Beccy and Ben were there when needed and absent when not, yet always available for a chat. What more could anyone expect from a VRBO? The weather was marginal during our 4 night stay, but we accomplished everything on our must do list and to come back to Long Barn, each afternoon, was an absolute pleasure. Highly recommended.
