Smugglers Barn
Set in extensive grounds, less than 500 yards from the beach, Smugglers Barn is a beautiful hideaway ready to welcome six lucky guests looking for a laid-back coastal escape and is doggy friendly too (two well behaved pooches are most welcome).
This impeccable barn is steeped in history. Cornwall's most notorious smugglers from the Carter Family were born here and a blue plaque stands proudly on the front wall recognising the barns importance to this area and the infamous family that lived here in the 18th Century.
Ideal for families or a group of friends, it benefits from oodles of space for socialising both inside and in the gorgeous garden. Located just off the road that takes you into Praa Sands you are just minutes from the village and the delights it has to offer.
Arrive and step into the gorgeous open plan living and dining-room which is oh-so-spacious with beams and exposed granite stone walls. At one end you'll discover two sofas and an armchair nestled around the flickering wood-burner, perfect for socialising and relaxing after busy days out exploring the coast path, whilst a Smart TV is on hand for film nights. The large farmhouse dining-table lies at the other end of this room and is the perfect spot for long leisurely lunches and more formal dinners. From here, you will find the snug/games-room with a Smart TV, comfy sofa and a computer games console and a football table to keep the children amongst you entertained. There is also a pool table in the utility-room for your further entertainment. Step into the inviting kitchen which overlooks the garden and is designed for sociable evening cooking and equipped to make the finest supper for your guests. Smugglers Barn has everything you could possibly wish for in your home away from home.
Take the winding open-tread wooden spiral staircase up to the first floor where you have three gorgeous bedrooms to choose from. The main en suite bedroom has a blissfully comfy king-sized wrought iron bed, with a door that leads directly into the en suite shower-room. Bedroom two boasts a 'zip and link' bed, which can either be two singles or a king-size (you choose). Bedroom three is a delightful bedroom and has another 'zip and link' bed. Also on this floor, there's a family bathroom complete with free-standing, roll-top bathtub and a large shower.
The outside space is truly stunning with a gorgeous lawned garden, complete with outdoor dining-table and chairs. Sheltered by an old Cornish hedge it's a beautiful location for a spot of al fresco dining in the sunshine or maybe a game or two. It's also a perfect area for children to play and hunt for possible hidden treasure left behind by the smugglers all those years ago, and for dogs to let off some steam. Please supervise children at all times particularly around the stream and sloped area.

Mr Checkley
From initial booking, through to arrival, our stay and departure, we had a brilliant holiday experience. The cottage was perfectly located and beautifully appointed, catering for the entire range of weather that Cornwall has to offer; the pool table and games room were much appreciated. We stayed with our two dogs and were very pleased to see a large and well-secured garden, which meant they could roam at leisure. The single slight maintenance issue was addressed on the same day by the Classic Cottages’ support team, who then followed up with a call to ensure we were happy with the resolution. Overall, a magical week that has left us enchanted by Cornwall all over again; thank you.
Mrs Goddard
Great cottage ,pretty views,. Extremely well equipped . Thoughtful finishing touches such as traditional Cornish Ware, a variety of books a few games also useful toiletry packages and fluffy towels.The property is a few minutes walking distance from a lovely sandy beach and a couple of cafes with friendly welcoming owners. Plenty to do within half hour drive from cottage. Our dog loved the garden which is enclosed.Would definitely recommend and would love to return one day. We spent a very happy week at Smugglers Barn.
Mrs Riccio

Mr White
Great location and property offers everything you would expect. Qualify bed linen much appreciated, this often overlooked in rental properties. Morning walks on the beach, pre dinner pool competition followed by cosy nights in front of the log burner, a perfect first stay in Praa Sands and Smuglers Barn.
Mrs Chinnery
Smugglers Barn is a beautiful place, in a beautiful location. We all loved the pool table and the dogs loved the massive garden. Beach only a short walk away and lovely cafe only 2 mins along the road. We couldn't have wished for more!
Mrs Douglas
Smugglers Barn is very well equipped and is a great base from which to explore this area of Cornwall. There are plenty of local walks to do all within easy access of the property and places of interest just a short drive away. The large garden makes a wonderful and private space to relax and is great to be dog friendly. Thank you for a lovely stay.
