Little Merrose

Little Merrose is a one-bedroom barn conversion for two near Illogan, one of two converted barns set within 130 acres of farmland between Redruth and Portreath. The village sits on former mining country, with a network of woodland walking trails beginning at the farm gate.

The king-size bedroom and single bathroom keep the barn couple-sized. A garden and barbecue provide outdoor space, and parking is included. There is no WiFi, dishwasher or washing machine, and no wood burner or open fire, so guests wanting connectivity or on-site laundry should plan around that. Dogs are welcome, though no dog limit is stated.

Portreath Beach is 1.4 miles away. Godrevy Beach is 4.7 miles from the barn and Gwithian Towans 5 miles, giving a run of sandy north-coast beaches within a short drive. Tehidy Country Park, 250 acres of woodland and former mining land, sits close by, and Perranporth lies further along the coast for a change of scene. Tuckingmill is the nearest town.

Little Merrose holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating from 34 reviews, with cleanliness, equipment, comfort and location each scoring 4.

**Best for:** A couple wanting a rural barn base, farmland walking trails, Tehidy Country Park nearby and room for a dog.

**Less good for:** Guests needing WiFi, laundry facilities, a dishwasher or step-free access.
