About this property

Peaceful rural retreat - w/Parking - close to Mousehole Beaches & Restaurants

This beautiful one bedroom dwelling dates back to the late 1800's and has been sympathetically restored by the present owners. Situated just a few miles above the village of Mousehole , the small rural hamlet of Chyenhal offers peace and tranquility for those who are looking for a relaxing holiday or short break, yet it is still in very easy reach of all the beautiful beaches , coves, restaurants and locations. The Long Barn is privately situated within the grounds of the owners own home with its own private garden areas , free Wifi and its own private parking space .


A 10 minute drive down the A30 will find you at Lands End and the wonderful sandy beach of Sennen. One of the most beautiful surfing destinations in the UK.
The famous fishing village of Mousehole is a 5 minute drive away , hosting a number of excellent restaurants and art galleries. Mousehole is famous for many events throughout the year including its ( biannual) Sea Salts and Sails festival , July 5th - 17th 2024, Tom Bawcocks Eve on the 23rd December , along with the wonderful Mousehole Christmas lights. Closing the year on New years Eve with a spectacular harbour fireworks display.

Porthcurno and Porthchapel beaches, the famous Minack Theatre and Penberth Cove, which is regularly used in the filming of Poldark, are all around a 25 minute drive by car.

Take a day trip to the Isle of Scilly, Lands End Air Port - 13 minutes drive - flights are daily . Or catch the ferry from Penzance . The ferry sails daily and is a 5 minute drive away from the property.

Visit The Tate St.Ives and stay for lunch at one of the many eateries which serve wonderful locally caught fish dishes. St. Ives is a 30 minute drive away.

The Long Barn offers a luxurious accommodation finished to a high standard in a peaceful rural setting. There is a very comfortable kingsize bed, with linen bedding. The property is centrally heated through out, along with a woodburner for those who like a real log fire ( logs and kindling supplied). Outside there are two small garden areas both with tables and seating for two people and a private parking space. Take a evening walk through the owners four acres of meadow to the sunset bench and watch the evening sun go down .

Free Wifi at the property - and parking

Beccy and Ben look forward to welcoming you to The Long Barn.

We really had a great time. The house is very beautiful and I is quiet. In the kitchen is everything you need. Becky and Ben are very nice. It is exciting to reach the house, as the streets are very small. But from there you can reach many sights in a short time.

Perfect retreat.

Everything about our stay was wonderful, the warm welcome, beautifully decorated cottage, outstanding cleanliness, peaceful and beautiful area. When we go away the accommodation is one of the most important details for us and we really cannot praise The Long Barn enough, set in lush countryside and ideally placed to explore West Cornwall, we looked forward to returning to the sunny terrace for a glass of wine in the late afternoons. Thank you Beccy and Ben, we’ll see you again.

Tastefully Cornish

The perfect VRBO. Everything worked and attention to detail was evident. Beccy and Ben were there when needed and absent when not, yet always available for a chat. What more could anyone expect from a VRBO? The weather was marginal during our 4 night stay, but we accomplished everything on our must do list and to come back to Long Barn, each afternoon, was an absolute pleasure. Highly recommended.

Just unbelievably beautiful!

This was one of the most beautiful vacation in my life - and I already travelled a lot! Starting with the warmest welcome I ever had from Beccy and then the very wonderful barn which is decorated with so much love (nothing is missing). Both, Beccy and Ben, are so very friendly and open people, it is just a pleasure to spend time there. If I ever will come back to Cornwall - only to the „Long Barn“. Thanks for everything! 😘

Everything We Hoped For

What a wonderful way to start our driving tour of the UK. Beccy and Ben were so welcoming and thoughtful. The Long Barn was so beautifully decorated and furnished with everything we could need. When we arrived, Beccy showed us around, pointing out the features and how everything worked. It was such a peaceful place to reconnect with nature and also easy to explore the surrounding area. The courtyard was a relaxing space to sit and enjoy the sunshine. Loved the horses and the cats too! Thank you so much for your kindness.

About the host

Hosted by Beccy Marshall

Host profile image
My name is Beccy Marshall, I work from home as an artist and my husband Ben is a carpenter/furniture maker. We were both born and brought up in West Cornwall and have lived on this peninsula for all of our lives. We have excellent local knowledge of the area, benefiting our guests if they wish to know of the best restaurants , walks, beaches an places to visit . We ran the Sandpiper Gallery in Mousehole for nine years. After selling the Gallery we decided to buy this beautiful property at Chyenhal. Moving here in October 2017, Ben decided to completely renovate The Long Barn that sits in the grounds of our main property including four and a half acres of our own private meadows.

Why they chose this property

When we came to view the property at Chyenhal , we knew straight away that we wished to purchase it . It is such a peaceful tranquil place to live , just slightly in land but close to the A30 , making it very quick and easy to get to the coast and to all of the local facilities. Ben has surfed and sailed here all of his life and has a traditional sailing boat which is moored in Mousehole harbour. He is also a Harbour Commissioner so it is important for us to be able to get to the beaches and the Harbour fairly quickly, yet still have the the peacefulness of this away from it all location.
Chyenhal is a small rural hamlet with only three other nearby neighbours. It is a little piece of old Cornwall that has been left untouched by modern life , making it a perfect retreat for your holiday.
