Great stay
We recently had the pleasure of staying at a serene and family-friendly retreat that exceeded all expectations. Nestled in a peaceful corner, the accommodation was not only impeccably clean but also thoughtfully equipped with everything a family could need. From the abundance of games and outdoor toys for kids to the spacious outdoor play areas, it was a heaven for little ones to explore and enjoy. The tranquil surroundings provided a perfect backdrop for relaxation, while its convenient location served as an ideal base for exploring the stunning coastal attractions nearby.

What can I say about this property just perfect the location was exactly as described. The owners were incredibly helpful giving us advice on best places to go like to lizard point to see the seals or to go to st earth to catch the train to st Ives along the coastal path. They were great with my son and made the holiday better than it could be.

The Hayloft
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a great base for our walking holiday. The weather was wet and windy and The Hayloft provided a lovely cosy place to return to each day. Comfy beds, super bathroom, washer/drier, great view from the window...everything we needed! We will recommend to others.

Lovely Cornwall home from home - The Hayloft
Kevin and Kate made us feel very much at home and at ease right from our arrival. Everything is very comfortable and just right for a family of 4. The setting is great too with ample space to roam outside for kids and adults alike and a super friendly cat to boot. We will be returning - thanks Kevin and Kate

Fantastic break in great accommodation
Really enjoyed our stay here. The accommodation was bigger than the photos which is always a nice surprise. Plenty of room inside and outside for young kids (3&5) to play. Good access to all parts of southern Cornwall. Nothing bad to say at all.

Brilliant stay at The Hayloft
We had a fab stay at The Hayloft - Kate and Kevin have really thought of everything you could ever need and are so welcoming, accommodating and helpful. The Hayloft provides a great location to explore the surrounding areas but there's also so much outdoor space and lovely animals and wildlife on your doorstep to keep little ones occupied. We'd definitely recommend and would love to visit again!

A lovely family retreat, perfectly situated for exploring Cornwall
We had the most wonderful break at The Hayloft; a clean, spacious, family friendly holiday let, situated in a lovely peaceful location. After months of lockdown we were delighted to have a change of scenery and this did not disappoint. We were able to visit various places across West Cornwall and pop to Praa Sands beach for a few hours in the evening. Our hosts, Kevin & Katie provided a warm welcome (including a delicious treat!) and were extremely helpful. We highly recommend and would definitely book again.

Fabulous find -great for kids
Well what can i say. This property is set in such a lovely area, so pretty and so many things to do without having to travel too far. The property was of an excellent quality and the owners were so lovely, friendly and helpful. We took our 8mth old and the owners had thought of so much that made it so much easy for us to not have to travel with more stuff than necessary. Very suitable for children and would thouroughly reccomend and we would happily go back there again
