A wood-burner and under-floor heating ensure year-round snugness in this lovingly restored, single-storey converted barn, found near the hamlet of Ladock in an easily accessible rural setting.

Impeccably furnished and decorated, Wheel Barn provides an ideal base for exploring while offering comfort for those wishing to stay in and relax. The open plan living-room has chestnut leather sofas and French doors to an enclosed patio and garden with far reaching views over the Ladock valley. Two steps lead down from the dining-area to the fully-equipped kitchen. Beautifully styled, the bedroom also has doors opening out to the garden, and is adjacent to the spacious shower-room.

The hospitable owners live next door and are happy to welcome two well-behaved medium-sized dogs.

Customer reviews

Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.

Mrs Crombie

Beautiful cottage that is perfect for a holiday with your dogs. The hosts are very helpful if needed but otherwise left us to enjoy our stay. Would highly recommend.

Mrs Cox

Lovely cottage in a lovely location

Mr Perkins

The Wheel Barn cottage was everything that we needed it to be. Clean,Comfortable and a good base for travelling around the Cornish coast line.

Mrs Beckett

Great place to stay, within easy reach of the coast and local attractions. We hope to be back again.

Mrs Gossan

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage. It was very well presented and the bottle of wine and biscuits were a nice welcome gesture. The owners live next door and were very welcoming but did not intrude. The cottage is ideally situated and both North and South coastlines are only a short drive away. There is also an excellent park and ride service into Truro only a short drive from the cottage. We would have no hesitation in booking a return visit.

Mrs Rochelle

Lovely place to stay

Mrs Archer-Sheehan

Wheel Barn is a lovely well equipped cottage with enclosed garden which is great for dogs without constantly watching them our two loved it. It is easily accessible to the rest of Cornwall and the friendly helpful owners are next door if needed, will definitely return

Mr Bunt

Wheel Barn is tucked away inland but provides easy access to north and south coasts while the A30 allows fluent journeys east and west. The cottage is ideally proportioned for two with simple but stylish decor and pretty much everything you need. It’s clean and comfortable with some welcome treats to greet you. We have visited four times over many years.

Mrs Lake

This a gem of a cottage. Very comfortable, good layout, helpful owners. Good location for visiting different areas of Cornwall. Lovely and quiet too, Would definitely visit again.

Mr Ward

Very central location for all of cornwall loved this place probably the best we've been in over the last 20 holidays in cornwall ,lovely layout, our dogs loved the garden and ladock woods up the road, portscatho beach nearby great as well, the owners next door are very friendly , good chance we'll be back.

Mrs Redfern

Clean, comfortable, well positioned for both coasts. Secure garden for dogs. Well equipped.

Mr Taylor

Wheel Barn is a haven of peace and quiet. The cottage is well appointed, furniture and decor very fresh. We stayed two weeks and much enjoyed it. The fridge is a bit small but shops are 10 or 15 mins away (Sainsburys, Tesco and Aldi) and an easy drive so not really a problem. The owners Rebecca and Peter are a very friendly couple and will help to ensure you enjoy your stay. We would recommend Bodega 18 tapas bar, and The Longstore steak house for food! There is a market in Truro on Wed and Sat!??

Dr Taylor

Generally excellent. Shallow internal steps. Parking fine for one car.

Mr Hutchinson

Wheel Barn is a cosy cottage, ideal for two. We loved the underfloor heating, the log burner, the spacious shower room and the little garden with far- reaching views.

Mr Way

Lovely little cottage ideal for two people with dogs in a nice quiet location with easy access to both coasts and truro.

Mr Laming

Stayed here 4 times and always a pleasure. Well positioned to visit all the areas of interest and very comfortable to come back to each evening.

Mrs Redfern

absolutely love the central location ..... great for accessing all areas of Cornwall. The cottage itself is so comfortable, the enclosed garden is fantastic when you have dogs with you. Welcoming, friendly and a perfect base!

Mr Thornhill

The accommodation was excellent and the location was perfect for visiting places on the north and south coast of cornwall, so there were always plenty of beaches within 15-20 mins.

Mrs Wenham

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wheel Barn. It was comfortable and warm and it was lovely to have things such as a proper reading light in the living room and mirrors where you need them. The location is lovely although stepping straight out of the front door onto the road, with a keen dog, was a bit hairy occasionally! The bed was a bit too firm for me (and why don't more rentals have super king-size beds?) but that's a minor quibble. The electric hob has the most ridiculously complicated operation system I have ever seen but again, not a real problem. The garden is very safe for dogs although a bit small for larger breeds but you can see that in the photos. All in all, we had a lovely, restful, peaceful mini break and would happily return.

Mrs Bradford

We had a fantastic stay over the Christmas period and really appreciated the little Christmas extras provided by the owners who made us feel very welcome. Wheel Barn was very comfortable, warm and homely. We felt really at home from the minute we walked through the door. The barn is in a lovely location and really convenient for visiting lots of places on the Cornish Coast.

Mr Holborow

The cottage is well located for visiting both coasts. It is spacious for two people and a dog with the garden being a bonus. Owners are friendly and provided helpful local information.

Mrs Francis

Loved this property, it was very peaceful and relaxing and the owners were very friendly and helpful.

Mrs Davis

Helpful owners who advised us on where to visit in the area. Peaceful setting. Great walks for dogs at Ladock Woods. Central location for visiting coastal areas - all within one hours drive. Would recommend cottage.

Mrs Roberts

Good sized parking area. Shower and bathroom were a lovely size and very clean. Decor and furnishings very nice condition and of a good quality.

Mrs Whitehorne

Perfect choice for our first holiday with our dog. We visited the north and south coasts with ease. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Mrs Smith

Great welcome by the owners who live next door. Good central location for visiting many of the sights in Cornwall and Devon.

Mr Bunt

Wheel barn is tucked away in a quiet location (albeit with a vocal cockerel in the field next door), convenient for travel east or west, north or south. The owners are friendly and helpful, and the cottage always clean. The decor is 'deceptively simple' but effective. The living space is ideal for two, the bed comfortable, and the shower room spacious. We recently enjoyed our third stay over a number of years and continue to find it as good a holiday base as ever.

Mr Laming

Excellent location and completely dog friendly - an absolute gem of a cottage

Mr Robinson

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wheel Barn. Becky and Pete were the perfect hosts, providing a very friendly, warm welcome and plenty of useful advice about the many local attractions. Their welcome gifts were much appreciated and everything was provided for (i.e. ample parking space, sun umbrella (totally necessary), huge (great-smelling) towels, power shower with a skylight - so you could shower and watch the blue sky at the same time - puzzles (one of which we actually managed to complete after six days!), a wide selection of DVDs and range of great novels - which we unfortunately never got to watch or read with so much else to fit in....). Wheel Barn is tastefully decorated and was all we could wish for in terms of comfort and convenience (for two people), especially with regard to our dog. He instantly felt at home and the garden was ideal for him to stretch his old legs or just relax in the grass. Ladock - and the Falmouth Arms - was a gem. Great food, very friendly atmosphere and jovial and accommodating bar staff. Wheel Barn was a real retreat and just what we needed to fully relax and refuel. We would recommend it without hesitation and look forward to our return...A big thanks to everyone for making our holiday memorable and most enjoyable

Mrs Laughton

We had a wonderful 2 weeks at wheel barn not to far from both coasts had lots of days out even went to lands and only a hour away , the owners very friendly and helpful and loved they dogs bill and Doris who came to say hello every day think bill was in love with my girls , when we got to wheel barn and saw chickens in the paddock next door we said on no 5 am wake up by the noise but no very quite , I would recommend wheel barn to every one , we just wish it had more bedrooms for us next year

Mrs Biddlecombe

Mrs Bayliss

Everything about Wheel Barn was excellent. Comfortable, clean, well equipped accommodation and more spacious for 2 people than expected.

Mrs Symonds

A real home from home.

Mr Marriott

Perfect cottage for a perfect holiday!! Lovely and fully enclosed garden for dogs!!

Mrs Knight

A hidden gem, perfect location for travelling around Cornwall. Great for walking, bird watching and wild flowers and great for relaxing after a busy day.

Mrs Stephen

This cottage is a must stay cottage. Great location, finished to a high standard, has everything you need and more. Cottage well thought out and in an ideal location. Best dog-friendly cottage we have stayed in, when previously dog friendly is a 'tick box' excersise to gain business rather than putting yourself in the dog owners shoes and catering to them.

Mr Baughurst

Loved the property and location so much that we hope to return next year. Ps dogs loved it too!

Mrs Taylor

We would recommend highly Wheel Barn cottage Ladock Cornwall. The position near Truro, was very convenient. The general overall comfort and cleanliness of the cottage was excellent. Warm welcome from the Owners who lived nearby.

Mrs Baulsom

This is a centrally located property. You can get internet and mobile phone coverage, which can be very useful if you need it, particularly for looking up places to go. This is a very comfortable cottage, but, if you're short (between 5' 4" and 5' 7", like us!!!) , the dining seats are too low and you need to sit on cushions. That is the only criticism we would have about the property. The owners are lovely; they make you feel very welcome (flowers, biscuits, wine, milk on arrival) and they are happy to give you fresh produce (strawberries) from their garden. We can't wait to return, and, looking at the visitor book, I think we'll have to book early for next year!!

Mr Goldfinch

We received a very warm welcome from the owners, a lovely welcome pack greeted us and the cottage was spotless, couldn't ask for more.

Mr Prangley

Fantastic location and superb cottage to stay in. We will return in the near future.

Mrs Swailes

Our second visit here, the perfect cottage.

Mrs Madeley

Wheel barn is a home from home, it has everything you need and is in the perfect location for exploring all of Cornwall, Our dogs loved the enclosed garden and the log burner is a excellent extra

Mrs Halsey

From reserving your property to booking your holiday it all goes without a hitch. With luck the sun will shine. There is just one word - Classic!

Mr Goldfinch

Probably the best cottage we've stayed at.

Mr Laming

This cottage is absolutely first class and in exactly the right spot to travel around Cornwall - highly recommended

Mrs Ellard

Excellent cottage, everything you could possibly need. Loved the enclosed garden, perfect for the dogs.

Mr Wheeler

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! This was our Honeymoon, the cottage is really well located, very central, roughly an hours driving from anywhere (lands end 1h20) The cottage was decorated to a very high standard, was clean and very well presented. The owners, we saw them twice,once upon arrival and once at departure, really nice and left us to do what we wanted!! Thank you so much!!!

Mrs Ashworth

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at the Wheel Barn, it exceeded our expectations. We would have no hesitation in going back there and would recommend it to anyone. I am quite a critical person but I absolutely loved the Wheel Barn and the location was perfect for days out.

Mrs Redfern

Wheel barn is fantastic, comfortable and well equipped. The garden is enclosed, great for dogs. A real home from home. The location is ideal for exploring Cornwall. If you are taking dogs the best beaches are .... Perranporth & Crantock, approximately 25 minutes drive.

Mrs White

Coming back to Wheel Barn each day felt like coming home!! It has a wonderful feeling - we will be back very soon.

Miss Wheeler

Ideal location for travelling to North and South Cornwall. A lovely property.

Mr Handley

It provided us with the requisite location, comfort etc. at a good rate. Simply keep up your excellent work.

Mr Crittenden

The owner greeted us on arrival and provided a good explanation of the cottage facilities and the local environment. The owners were very pleasant and helpful and we have no complaints whatever, and have stated to family and friends that we would have no hesitation in recommending the property.

Mr McQuillan

This is an excellent cottage, it is spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The owner was very friendly and he recommended local places to visit. Would have no hesitation in recommending it.

Mr Robertson

The Wheel Barn is a lovely place to stay, it has all you need and is very spacious and has a good size garden at the back. It is very modern decorated and has all you need for a stay there.
