However are only criticism was the double bed as it was far to hard and we had to sleep in the two single beds. I think this was also mentioned previously in a review.

The location on the edge of St Agnes is a great place from which to tour around Cornwall. Very clean, very comfortable and very pet friendly. Small communal garden at the front which we find great for our dogs. No good though if you need an enclosed garden. Great walks from the doorstep, two footpaths close by. Have to cross a usy road to get to one and walk for a short while to get to another. Fantastic beach of Chapel Porth close by. Can take dogs on in September. Lots of amenities close by. We found cottages closer in to st agnes can be a bit noisy. We were disappointed this year however as the seal had gone on the shower in the main bathroom. We couldn't use it atall even though we asked the maintenance people to fix it on the first day we arrived.

However, I observed a potential mold issue in the children's bedroom, which raised some concerns for me. My main disappointment stemmed from the fact that the property was advertised as being within easy walking distance to town, which was a key factor in our decision to book. Unfortunately, we discovered that there was no road or public footpath available for us to use, especially with our two young children in tow. The fast-moving traffic made it unsafe for us to attempt walking into town, which was disappointing. Overall, while Beacon Barn is a lovely property, its just a shame it wasnât accessible to St Agnes.
