What Guests Say

"I've had the most wonderful stay at Lavender Barn. It's set in the most beautiful surrounding, far away from any hustle and bustle with beautiful views over the adjacent fields, yet close enough to Porthleven village where you can get anything from freshly caught fish, most delicious pasties and of course amazing coffee and local ice cream."

- Doreen

"We had a wonderful week at Lavender Barn. The attention to detail meant we wanted for nothing & all the little extras made it particularly welcoming for our party of three generations on a summer break. (Granny, mother & daughter). The tranquil location was magical, but ideal for exploring both the north & south coasts of Cornwall."
