The Barn

Two-bedroom sea-view barn conversion near Gunwalloe, on the western side of the Lizard, sleeping four. The barn sits in farmland a short drive inland from the coast and runs to a single ground-floor level with step-free access throughout - rare on this stretch of Cornwall.

Open-plan kitchen-living with a washing machine and views west across fields to the sea. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, enclosed garden, Wi-Fi and off-street parking. A cot is available for guests travelling with a baby, and the property has both a garden and a patio as well as off-road parking. One well-behaved pet is welcome, with a charge of £30.00 per week. Friday changeover.

Gunwalloe Church Cove is 1.2 miles away - a sandy National Trust beach with the medieval St Winwaloe church set back from the dunes. Poldhu Cove is 1.6 miles, Polurrian Beach 2.3 miles, Mullion Cove harbour four miles south, and Kynance Cove six miles down the coast road. The South West Coast Path between Gunwalloe and Poldhu is short, level, and one of the easier sections on the Lizard.

Best for couples or a small family of four wanting accessible accommodation with sea views and beach access without steps. Helston market town is three miles north, with the Flora Day festival each May. Less good for larger groups.
