The place

At less than one mile to the sea, The Old Barn offers both the best of the country and the best of the coast. Sitting peacefully in a private setting on Lower Tresithick Farmstead, The Old Barn has a south-facing decking with a view over the Cornish apple orchard. It's easy to imagine yourself thumbing through a bestseller on the sun deck, or dining al fresco after making use of the BBQ on sultry summer nights, and even easier to imagine a winter feast at the large dining table indoors. With 12 acres of farmland on site, woods and fields to explore and the possibility of an entire field to run rampant in, dogs will have plenty of space to stretch their legs – when they’re not on the lead in the appropriate areas! There’s also an outdoor dog wash, for when they inevitably enjoy it TOO much.
