Overview

Perching proudly on the hill behind Mousehole, the traditional village of Paul with its 15th Century parish church and atmospheric pub is a beautiful slice of the Cornish countryside; ideally located within minutes of the coast.

Flaunting a fabulous, newly refurbished interior, huge, landscaped garden and private parking. Bright, light-filled and sophisticated, inside is all natural textures and muted hues, with sumptuous furnishings and high-quality features creating a home that is as comfortable as it is well-equipped. On the ground floor, the dual aspect living room is a lovely place to relax, with plenty of plush seating for unwinding in and a flat screen TV for movie nights in. Adjacent lies the large separate kitchen / diner, and both rooms have access out to the garden through French doors which, on bright days can be opened to extend the indoor living / entertaining spaces outside.

The home’s four beautiful bedrooms comprise two doubles and two twins, with the stunning master suite having its own bathroom. There’s a separate office space for guests who need to stay in touch with work, as well as a large family bathroom with freestanding bath and walk-in shower. Designed to provide entertainment for children as well as adults, the home’s garden features a sprawling lawn as well as a Wendy house and two swings. The Haybarn also welcomes two dogs so the outside space on offer is ideal for letting four-legged guests stretch their legs between their daily walks. You’ll also find a grown-up swing-chair where you can savour the sunshine, table tennis in the garage, and a spacious hot tub for lazily soaking in while the designated cook rustles up lunch. Just under a mile from Mousehole, and a little further to Newlyn, The Haybarn’s location is pretty unbeatable with places like Penzance and Marazion being within easy reach, as well as the surfing hotspot of Sennen and Porthcurno’s breathtaking beaches.

Welcome to Mousehole

Before you book one of our Mousehole holiday cottages, you need to know one thing. The name of this beautiful little resort is pronounced ‘mowzul’. Now that’s cleared up, let’s begin. Arriving in this sleepy fishing village is a little bit like stepping into a fairytale. Found just three miles from Penzance, Mousehole is one of those destinations where time seems to stand still. Boats bob in the harbour, waves lap the beach and cafes serve the catch of the day. If you want to experience the Cornwall of days gone by, this is the perfect place to do it.

Large coastal retreat
4.2/5

The house was exactly as per images, large, clean, spacious, well equipped. We appreciated the garden space and the drive was no issue for our 2 large 4x4, just took some manoeuvring. Bedding and showers all luxurious. Some minor issues with some of the children's play things outside that meant my 1 and 3 year old couldn't play there as i'd intended. All in all, a lovely stay.

Lovely property, good location. Some issues need attention
4.8/5

The Haybarn is an attractive property well situated. Beds are comfortable, hot tub was fabulous and the property is well equipped. There were however two issues which need addressing. The shower in the main bathroom requires a major plumbing refit as during our stay water came through the ceiling below and after that everyone in our party of seven people all had to use the shower in the en suite bathroom. The second issue was the inability to lock both the main bathroom door and the door of the toilet downstairs. This caused a degree of unease and potential embarrassment. The property was lovely BUT these issues marred our stay. I would not reccommned staying there until these issues are fixed.

Fantastic location
4.7/5

We had a fantastic holiday with our daughter and her family. They didnt want to leave. Our five year old grandson wants to live there. It was ideal for us. Garden was great for small children to run around. The secret bbq area was a hit. We had everything we needed. Mousehole is a cute little town. A nice walk down, coming back up not so

Beautiful house with the best garden
4.5/5

Such a gorgeous house with plenty of room. The garden was definitely the top scorer for 'best part of the house'. Bedrooms were all lovely and spacious, (bigger than they look in the pictures) very comfy beds and great communal bathroom. Windows definitely need a clean- we were too scared to open the velux windows after a couple of large spiders hopped in the first time (lots of cobwebs and spiders around those windows), the fridge water filter was on red so needed changing but not the biggest deal for us, the kitchen was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed, including tupperware. We stayed at the Haybarn as accommodation whilst we were on placement for university to work in a school for a week, so unfortunately we didn't get to be in the house much- it would have been amazing if we could have stayed longer. Sadly the dishwasher wasn't working properly but wasn't the biggest issue- Sophie was very quick at replying so if we did need anything fixed/changed whilst we were there I'm sure she would have sorted it very quickly. The ensuite bathroom was suitable, quite low ceilings so if you want the ensuite, make sure you mind your head! The lights are automatic for bathrooms and some cupboards which became quite confusing as we wouldn't know whether the lights were on because of the switch or automatically on. The hot tub was such a bonus and we were very lucky with the weather. The WiFi did cut out due to the rain on our final night- so good weather is definitely key, but there are plenty of games and a table tennis table (which we didn't have time to use :( ) to keep you occupied and off devices! Honestly, what a beautiful house though! Overall it was a great stay, only a couple of tweaks but nothing major which could have made it better but that's all. Thank you so much for our stay

Elsie, 30 Jun 2024

We had a lovely stay
4.3/5

We had a lovely stay at The Haybarn! It is beautifully decorated and is extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need in a home away from home. The beds were all very comfortable too. The kids loved the Wendy house and the space to play in the garden. The hot tub was a relaxing treat for the adults too. The driveway access is very tight - we fitted a Volvo xc90 in but it did involve a tricky reversing manoeuvre to get right around the corner into the drive.

Beautiful property in a lovely location.. a few tweaks could make it perfect!
4.5/5

Overall the property and our experience at the were lovely. The village of Paul has a fantastic pub with good food and the walk down into mousehole is around 10 mins and we loved Mousehole, plenty of bars, pubs cafes etc. Bare in mind it's a very steep walk back up the hill, wouldn't be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. There is a bus but not sure how often it runs. The property itself is lovely and suited us well for our stay. A few minor changes I think would make the place even better would be: More comfortable seating in the garden area, like an outdoor sofa, the weather was lovely but there was nowhere to relax properly. Maybe a couple of comfy chairs or sun loungers could be stored in the small shed? It didn't bother us as there were only 3 of us staying there but be aware that the en suite bathroom to the main bedroom is very compact and anyone taller than myself ( 5ft 11 ) would struggle to stand up under the shower. We just used the main bathroom to shower, but that itself had issues as the water would run out of the shower onto the floor if it was used for too long. Saying all that, it was a beautiful property, in a lovely location and we think it was good value for money.

Great stay - but more attention to detail?
5/5

We had a lovely stay at the property - it is in a great location and the property itself is decorated beautifully and the kitchen is well-equipped. It has a lovely outdoor area, including a fantastic hot tub. The only issue with our stay is that when we arrived there were no towels or sheets and no basic utilities (e.g., bin liners, cloth, dishwasher tabs, toilet paper). This was rectified quickly, and kudos to the young man who came to make up the beds etc (who doesn't usually do that property) for having some of the basic kit in his car for us. We would definitely stay again but would hope that the property is checked as being ready (esp since it's a very late check in at 4pm).

Guest, 04 May 2023

Hi Karen, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry that those items got missed during the clean, we will ensure that never happens again but thank you for understanding. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the property. Best Wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team.
