We really enjoyed our stay at the Mowhay Barn. A good location and very peaceful. Beautiful grounds and plenty of space.
What an incredible holiday in the most beautiful of surroundings. The amount of space is amazing. The house is beautifully presented and very well thought out. After staying here the benchmark had been set very high indeed.
Mowhay is a beautiful holiday accommodation. There’s so much space downstairs for family to gather but also have space to themselves. Bedrooms are lovely and master suite bathroom is great. The grounds are extensive, it’s a shame dogs aren’t accepted as would be great. The hot tub is a great addition especially as we had lovely weather. As the outside is so lovely it’s a shame no comfy seating is available, only the large wooden dining table & chairs. I would also say there needs to be some BBQ tools to use and to be able to then clean with a BBQ brush or similar. The keys in the under stairs cupboard need sorting and better labelling it took us ages to try and find the key for the door to the barn steps, finally found in the back of a drawer in the bedroom (this is a fire exit so needs to be kept in the door). Other improvements would a few black bags for rubbish as only 1 left and toilet paper as only 2 in each bathroom would struggle if fully occupied with 8 people. I think as it’s marketed as a luxury level and priced as such, the welcome pack is poor compared with other rentals we have had. Other rentals at this price point have left, milk, bottle of wine, crusty loaf, pasta and sauce. The write up also says sea views from the summer house, I’d say possibly with binoculars! Also some people need to now there is a fairly well used road alongside the house for traffic noise in master bedroom. The furniture choices and decor are beautiful, and provides a very comfortable stay.
We found Mowhay Barn a delight to enjoy a family holiday. Quality throughout, most comfortable rooms & everything you could need whilst there. Close proximity to great Cornish locations & dining opportunities nearby! Only two negatives for us, the barn is very close to a busy road so the constant traffic noise both in the garden & in the bedrooms took some getting use to! Disappointing not to receive a welcome pack!
This was our second stay at Mowhay Barn and we had a glorious stay with lovely warm weather. The house is so comfortable and with everything you need and the spacious grounds which are kept very tidy gives lots of space for the grandchildren to play in. we did experience a new colony of honey bees arriving at the house too. We informed the company and it was dealt with quickly-apparently due to Cornwall not cutting back the grass/flower sides/borders of the roads and fields-looked very pretty.
