About this property

Converted barn on a small peaceful rural resort with stunning views and fishing

Hendra Barn is the flagship of three properties at Hendra Barns resort, near the village of Mitchell, located close to Newquay and Truro in Cornwall.

This holiday property is high;y finished to offer relaxation with quality surroundings. Hendra Barn is ideally situated with the A30 only 2 miles away giving you the opportunity to discover Cornwall to the full.

Guests of the three properties have exclusive use of the 2.5 acres, including the lakeside arbour for evening dining and coarse fishing on the lakes.

We have 5* excellent reviews on Tripadvisor.

It's all about relaxing in Cornwall enjoying the quality surroundings and soaking up the atmosphere. The Garden room gives you space to relax and take in the surrounding views. This Barn makes for a memorable holiday. Throw open the doors onto the patio which wraps itself around the barn to enjoy the views or light the wood burning stove on a chilly evening and relax in front of the fire. This well equipped holiday home stands in maintained gardens and looks down on a picture post card lake which can be fished. Delightful pub nearby. Several Footpaths are in the immediate area for keen ramblers. The Barn is in a central position with the A30 only 2 miles away. It’s a short drive to many of Cornwall’s attractions such as the Eden project, Fiscal beach in Newquay, Watergate bay and City of Truro. Crantock being a firm favourite with many of our guests. Cornwall also has some of the most amazing gardens to visit.

Great property, very well presented.

Very spacious property which swallowed 6 adults, 6 children and a dog with ease. There would have been enough space for the children to play indoors without getting under the feet of the adults even if we'd had to stay indoors. As it was we had glorious weather and made the most of nearby beaches and the extensive grounds. The barn is furnished to a very high level. The owners were attentive and provided scones etc for a cream tea on arrival - a very nice touch, and they were on hand to check whether the holiday was progressing ok throughout our week.

Great Place to Stay

Had a great time staying at Hendra Barn and Ken was the perfect host and really made you feel at home. Loved the barn and so did all the family that were there to celebrate an important birthday. Would recommend a stay here and looking forward to coming back at some time. The welcome pack was great and really appreciated.

About the host

Hosted by Ken Evans

Host profile image
I have owned Hendra Barns for more than 17 years and over that time have put my heart and soul into this beautiful place. It has been a joy to work on these old buildings and bring them back to life. Hendra keeps me busy with the every day jobs. It's a pleasure as the setting is peaceful as well as relaxing, I am always around to ask advice as I live 200 yards away up the lane in Keepers Cottage..

Why they chose this property

Hendra is a place you will relax. Soak up the atmosphere, unwind with views that can only please as it is surrounded by the country side.
This is an ideal situation as we have easy access to the A30 but are only 2 minutes away from Hendra and it's beautiful location.

What makes this property unique

The Barn will draw you to the Garden room and the views will explain why, Views looking down to the lakes. Watching the wildfowl land makes this a very special place.
