Luke's Barn is equipped with everything a family needs. Lovely, caring touches throughout the house. It's exceptionally clean (inside and outside) and we recommend to families as a peaceful holiday retreat. Close to Porthtowan and Portreath beaches. Don't be put off by owners living nextdoor, you will have privacy to relax, but they will help you with any queries if you ask them. Super hosts! Beautiful cats Flash and Dobby will keep visiting and keep all entertained- if the games room, hot tub, spacious garden, super sound system, board games and books aren't enough. We've had a lovely week (parents with children aged 13-20). Really pleased we booked Luke's Barn. Thanks Gary and Helen.

Miss Gell
A brilliant holiday home, everything was immaculate and the owner was really friendly and helpful during our stay, setting us up with the hot tub. We were pleasantly surprised by a lovely welcome basket and all the bits and bobs we needed such as salt, pepper, some spices, dishwasher tablet and washing up liquid. Just a short drive from Porthtowan which has a pub, cafes, ice cream parlour and a gift shop and an easy base to get to nearby places such as Newquay. We found plenty to do and lots of places to eat. Would definitely recommend this little gem of a holiday to anyone looking to be in the area-thank you!

We had a brilliant week here. The cottage is lovely and clean, really liked the open plan downstairs. The hot tub was amazing, really clean and always warm. Lots of places to visit close by, perfect for exploring anywhere from Newquay down to Lands End and 2 mins from the coast to coast cycle route which is a must. Loved it, would not hesitate to recommend.
