Well situated for exploring
This was a small, practical and well situated house for the four us. We had easy reach of Marazion beach with lovely views of St Michaels Mount. Eating out was easy with a pub at the Manor and another just a short walk across the fields in Gulval. We had excellent recommendations from the property manager for places to eat, explore, and enjoy in the area.

Lovely location and property
Really good communication from the owner. A lovely situation close to lots to do and didn't feel crowded in mid-summer Cornwall. The week was damp so there was little place to dry things as the property is tucked into a hillside so hard to ventilate, but that was a small issue. Overall I would recommend highly for a family summer holiday.

A great place to end lazy days on the beach.
We had a great time in Cornwall and coming back to piggery was always great way to end the day. Clean and spacious and a lovely conversion. The walk to the local pub in gulval through the fields was great especially during sunset. Michelle’s advice on where to spend our days was invaluable and allowed us to visit some beaches we wouldn’t have otherwise found.

We had a lovely stay. The property was well kept but was a bit small for 4 adults, with the second bedroom being a real squash. The owners provided some super information re places to eat etc

The piggery
We arrived after a lengthy journey. Unpacked and relaxed in to the property. We used the local restaurant to avoid cooking and revelled in the peace at the location. The property was flexible, cool, well placed for access to shops and pleasure beaches. The fridge and freezer were suitable for our needs, the kitchen was great. Beds were comfortable and the sofas inviting. The site allowed us to play tennis and swim without needing to travel. The shop and restaurant meant you didn't need to travel for simple items and if you didn't feel like cooking after a long day on the beach. Wonderful holiday in a peaceful location. Thanks.

A gorgeous little hidden gem!
We have just returned from an absolutely fabulous weeks stay at The Old Piggeries. Michelle was so helpful from the original booking, right through our stay - she gave recommendations on the best beaches, pubs, restaurants, places to see - all of which were great. The barn itself has a modern decor, but still retains the rustic charm. It's perfectly situated in a beautiful and unspoiled part of Cornwall with so much to see and do. The site is quiet, we only used the pool once - but it was clean and adequate for our needs. Small bar area - again we only used it once, but the staff were very friendly. We have visited Cornwall for a short holiday every year, for the last 10 years - without a doubt this was our best break! Will definitely return!

Lovely barn in peaceful location
We spent a week in this lovely barn feeling relaxed and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped, rooms very clean and decorated with lovely details. The area is very quiet and peaceful. We were very close to all places we wanted to visit. The best thing was to have big supermarkets 5min drive from the barn. Our children loved their bedroom and a big shower. Thank you for making our stay so relaxed!

This is a very well equipped barn, very comfortable, great location for exploring south Cornwall
We are a family of 4 , 2 boys 10 and 15, the house is finished to a high standard. There's a sound bar for the telly, which was great for movie night. Ideal location to visit Cape Cornwall, St Ives, St Michaels Mount, Penzance, even going to the Scilly Isles. Beautiful home, we will be back.

Very well furnished with a new kitchen
The cottage was very comfortable with everything we needed for our holiday. The site was clean and we used the pool and hot tub, but did not eat in the restaurant. Very good location for visiting both coasts and Lands End. Quiet, easy to find and very close to st Ives for an evening out. The only problem we found was the damp in the main bedroom, probably due to the fact that is was a barn and part of the back wall was below ground level. The heating came on twice a day, and was needed as we had a fairly wet week. The carpet in the back cupboard was going mouldy. Its such a shame as the cottage was furnished to a high standard and the kitchen was the best I have used. If the damp issue can be sorted it should have 5 stars!

Lovely barn
We stayed in this barn in August 2016 and found it to be a lovely barn, just as described, clean, well equipped and had everything we needed. The owners were really helpful from booking to stay and after, the area is beautiful. The site has everything that you need and the position of the barn is very good and is quiet but also close to all amenities. Beautiful part of Cornwall with lots of lovely beeches, close access to St Michaels Mount, Penzance and St Ives to name just a few. I would recommend this barn to others and would return.

Lovely quiet place to stay
Really lovely and comfortable place to stay. The pictures do not do it justice. Had a great holiday. The Old Piggerries is the nicest accommodation that we have stayed in. Kenegie Manor and grounds are also very pleasant, a nice quiet place to stay, which was perfect for us. The staff are also friendly and helpful. We definitely want to return again.

Schöne, moderne Ferienwohnung in ruhiger Lage nahe Penzance
Gute, ruhige Lage in einer Art Ferienhauspark mit Restaurant, kleinem Shop und Indoorpool im Hauptgebäude. Gute Ausstattung, moderne Küche mit kleinen Mängeln (keine Kochlöffel oder Pfannenwender, keine Küchenhandtücher, nur 1 Spüllappen) , ansonsten alles da: Fernseher, Bluetooth Boxen, Bücher, Reiseführer, einige Spiele)einfaches Einchecken. Für 2 Personen war es gut, für 4 wäre es mir zu klein. Die gezeigten Schränke in den Schlafzimmern werden mehr als Abstellräume genutzt für Staubsauger, Bügelbrett, Strandsachen, Liegestühle… da war kaum Platz für Kleidung. Wir konnten das 2. Schlafzimmer für Koffer und Kleidung nutzen , aber für 4 wäre das schwierig, nur 2 Kommoden verfügbar. Für ausländische Gäste fände ich ein Benutzerhandbuch gut, da uns zB Schließmechanismen der Haustür und Fenster und die Heizungsbedienung in englischen Häusern fremd sind . Michelle war aber erreichbar und hat uns alles erklärt und alle Probleme rasch beseitigt. Letztlich empfehlenswert. Ich würde es wieder buchen.
