5 reviews from guests who stayed at The Haybarn
the location is great, 10 min walk to village all amineties within 5 min drive. house is as advertised. lots of space everything you needed HotTub, wood stove all great extra benefits and location is private. check in/out no issues
Such a gorgeous house with plenty of room. The garden was definitely the top scorer for 'best part of the house'. Bedrooms were all lovely and spacious, (bigger than they look in the pictures) very comfy beds and great communal bathroom. Windows definitely need a clean- we were too scared to open the velux windows after a couple of large spiders hopped in the first time (lots of cobwebs and spiders around those windows), the fridge water filter was on red so needed changing but not the biggest deal for us, the kitchen was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed, including tupperware. We stayed at the Haybarn as accommodation whilst we were on placement for university to work in a school for a week, so unfortunately we didn't get to be in the house much- it would have been amazing if we could have stayed longer. Sadly the dishwasher wasn't working properly but wasn't the biggest issue- Sophie was very quick at replying so if we did need anything fixed/changed whilst we were there I'm sure she would have sorted it very quickly. The ensuite bathroom was suitable, quite low ceilings so if you want the ensuite, make sure you mind your head! The lights are automatic for bathrooms and some cupboards which became quite confusing as we wouldn't know whether the lights were on because of the switch or automatically on. The hot tub was such a bonus and we were very lucky with the weather. The WiFi did cut out due to the rain on our final night- so good weather is definitely key, but there are plenty of games and a table tennis table (which we didn't have time to use ) to keep you occupied and off devices! Honestly, what a beautiful house though! Overall it was a great stay, only a couple of tweaks but nothing major which could have made it better but that's all.
We had a lovely stay at The Haybarn! It is beautifully decorated and is extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need in a home away from home. The beds were all very comfortable too. The kids loved the Wendy house and the space to play in the garden. The hot tub was a relaxing treat for the adults too. The driveway access is very tight - we fitted a Volvo xc90 in but it did involve a tricky reversing manoeuvre to get right around the corner into the drive.
Overall the property and our experience at the were lovely. The village of Paul has a fantastic pub with good food and the walk down into mousehole is around 10 mins and we loved Mousehole, plenty of bars, pubs cafes etc. Bare in mind it's a very steep walk back up the hill, wouldn't be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. There is a bus but not sure how often it runs. The property itself is lovely and suited us well for our stay. A few minor changes I think would make the place even better would be: More comfortable seating in the garden area, like an outdoor sofa, the weather was lovely but there was nowhere to relax properly. Maybe a couple of comfy chairs or sun loungers could be stored in the small shed? It didn't bother us as there were only 3 of us staying there but be aware that the en suite bathroom to the main bedroom is very compact and anyone taller than myself ( 5ft 11 ) would struggle to stand up under the shower. We just used the main bathroom to shower, but that itself had issues as the water would run out of the shower onto the floor if it was used for too long. Saying all that, it was a beautiful property, in a lovely location and we think it was good value for money.
We had a lovely stay at the property - it is in a great location and the property itself is decorated beautifully and the kitchen is well-equipped. It has a lovely outdoor area, including a fantastic hot tub. The only issue with our stay is that when we arrived there were no towels or sheets and no basic utilities (e.g., bin liners, cloth, dishwasher tabs, toilet paper). This was rectified quickly, and kudos to the young man who came to make up the beds etc (who doesn't usually do that property) for having some of the basic kit in his car for us. We would definitely stay again but would hope that the property is checked as being ready (esp since it's a very late check in at 4pm).

Cross a cobbled causeway or hop on a boat to a legendary castle on a tidal island.
St Michael's Mount is a tidal island in Mount's Bay, near Penzance, linked to Marazion by a causeway of granite setts. At low tide you can walk across; when the tide is in, ferry boats run instead. On the island you'll find a historic village with cobbled streets, a harbour, shops, a café and a restaurant, all beneath the ramparts of the castle.
Tip: Check the causeway times when you book, as they decide whether you walk across or take a boat from the mainland.

Stand at the most westerly point of mainland England, where granite cliffs look out over the Celtic Sea.
