Fabulous

Just returned from a wonderful stay at the barn. This really is home from home and we had everything we needed to cook and enjoy this peaceful tranquil setting. Easy access to all the attractions in west Cornwall.  Lots of lovely touches throughout the accommodation which is why it absolutely lives up to a 5 star rating. Thank you Rick and Chris for warmly welcoming us to your little piece of paradise, we will definitely be back!
 

Perfect place for a mini-break

We needed to book a holiday rental for a specific and short period of time-ideally as close to the end of Cornwall as you could go! Crugkern Barn was the perfect solution. Rick and Chris greeted us very warmly and were excellent hosts. They had taken advice and had changed the way in which they operated due to required social distancing. Everything you could possibly need for such a short break was there-often cleverly hidden. The Barn has been beautifully decorated both inside and outside and kept up to date-we appreciated the new shower! Walks were indicated on a local laminated map and, together with our iWalk Cornwall app, we walked several miles each day in spite of the weather! It is an ideal retreat and would love to visit again!

 

What an idyllic little gem

This accommodation is truly a home from home. From the moment we arrived the hosts Rick & Chris were attentive and readily on hand to assist where required. The location was ideal for touring around the peninsular so we were able to visit all the haunts from our youth. We managed to squeeze our holiday in, the week before the second lockdown and consider ourselves very fortunate to have spent it at this stunning property. We cannot recommend it highly enough, a beautiful get away location. Thank you. p.s we will be back.

Beautiful, peaceful Retreat

I enjoyed the compact and thoughtfully designed accommodation. Simple and elegant, cosy and comfortable with everything you need for a getaway week or weekend. Convenient location for the coast path and other beautiful countryside walks, unspoilt beaches and sites related to Cornish culture and history. Plenty to do… and space to do nothing.

The perfect retreat

This holiday was perfect from start to finish. Superb location, 5 star accommodation and Chris and Rick, the owners, could not be more helpful. They really have thought of everything to make your stay there a fabulous experience and every aspect of the accommodation is of the highest quality. Can’t wait to go back. Thanks again Rick and Chris 

Perfect in every way!

Crugkern Barn is a little gem located just outside St Just in West Cornwall. The perfect location to explore an area of outstanding natural beauty. Made all the more special by our hosts, Chris and Rick. So much care and thought has been put into ensuring guests have everything they could possibly need during their stay. From flowers, warm bread and Cornish Yarg on arrival, gorgeous toiletries in the bathroom to a backpack containing rug, flask, OS map and sun cream, everything is thought of! A very tastefully furnished cottage with all the home comforts you could wish for. Chris and Rick were always happy to share tips of where to go and help us discover some amazing places – many of which were new to us and helped us to see some stunning and very memorable scenery. We were blessed with wonderful weather and able to eat alfresco in the barn’s gardens most of the time. A huge thank you to Chris and Rick for sharing your little peace of paradise in West Cornwall and for your generosity and warmth. Look forward to returning soon.

 

 

Authentic, Peaceful Cornish Getaway for Two

 

Left on Jun 22, 2018 for a stay in Jun 2018

If you are looking for a peaceful, authentic Cornish experience in the countryside, you’ve picked the right spot. The location is set in the countryside, next to the spring fed creek that runs behind the property. There were plenty of bird feeders so lots of birds outside the window set in a beautiful garden. Rick and Chris were very nice people who put a lot of thought into our experience. There was fresh baked bread, Cornish Yarg cheese, milk, butter, coffee, etc. waiting for us. They were very meticulous about the everything we might need during our stay. The kitchen is fully stocked if you want to cook a meal. The property was very clean and kept up. they are located minutes from St. Just, which itself, is an authentic Cornish village, not overrun with tourists. There were several great places to eat in town. You can either walk in or drive. It was heaven on earth. I highly recommend the Crughern Barn

The most welcome we have ever felt

 

 Left on Jun 26, 2018 for a stay in Jun 2018

On the face of it Crugkern Barn is a one room open plan holiday let. In reality it is a superbly equipped, scrupulously clean, extremely well appointed building full of character and we immediately felt at home. Of course that was helped considerably by the welcome received from our hosts Rick & Chris Cope. Within minutes of booking our short break we had an extensive email from Rick giving directions and details about our stay. From the outset nothing was too much trouble and they both went out of their way to make sure that we were comfortable. We arrived later than planned and had to unpack quickly as we were booked in at the wonderful Minack Theatre which is just 10 minutes drive away. Rick & Chris helped us to get installed and we arrived in good time at the Minack. We only stayed for three nights but during that time we were treated like old friends with cheery advice and help available when ever we wanted it. Crugkern is a beautiful and peaceful place and there is so much unspoiled countryside to explore; we will certainly be back for more. If anyone wants a lesson in how to operate a holiday let they need to talk to Rick & Chris. Where else do you get home made bread and local cheese along with other provisions provided? If there are more genial hosts anywhere in the UK I’d be surprised. Thank you both and we look forward to returning soon. 

A Perfect Cottage

Well where to start. We had a lovely week in a perfectly formed cottage. As advertised the cottage is one bed/living/kitchen room but it has been furnished to the highest standard and certainly has plenty of space for a couple. Chris’ silk paintings on the wall are beautiful. The cottage is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Everything that you could possible want is there, often ingeniously stored. Rick and Chris are perfect hosts, very interesting to talk to and full of local knowledge. We loved the gardens and spotting birds. There are plenty of walks from the cottage and St Just with it’s shops and pubs is only 5mins drive. Just perfect.

A Bijou oasis

Fabulous accommodation and a warm welcome awaits you, complete with freshly baked bread and Cornish Yarg. Hosts Rick and Chris really have thought of everything! The garden is a beautiful place to sit and listen to the birds. From inside the barn you can watch the rabbits hop by and indulge in a spot of bird watching with the binoculars and guides so thoughtfully provided. The barn is so wonderful that you may need to remind yourself to venture further afield to visit the surrounding area. Must visits include the Minnack theatre, Sennor Cove, the coastal path walks to name but a few!
