Cyder Barn
Skyy Mansour
Venture along sleepy country lanes to uncover our charming Cyder Barn, a heavenly hideaway tucked away amongst the trees in North Cornwall. Just two miles from the St Agnes Heritage Coast yet encompassed by sylvan scenery, it promises a serene setting for relaxing escapes. Walk through the front door and immerse yourself in divine peace and tranquillity as the luxurious cottage-meets-cabin interiors envelop you. Inside, forest tones blend with ocean palates and present sumptuous furnishings to create soothing living areas for year-round sanctuary. Meanwhile outside, dreamy decking overlooks rolling fields and is crowned by an alfresco hot tub for bubble-topped bliss under open skies. Tempting for solo getaways and romantic retreats alike, this one-bedroom haven is also dog-friendly, complete with a private paddock, dedicated doggy shower, and proximity to some of the best coastal walks and dog-friendly restaurants in the county for exhilarating endeavours together.
Bathed in natural light and warmed by underfloor heating and a wood burning stove, Cyder Barn's lounge is a simply spectacular space. Pretty as a picture in shades of blue and cream, it features soothing coastal hues with nautical nuances to pay homage to the nearby sweep of magnificent Cornish coastline. Settle into the window-side sofa adorned with comfortable cushions and throws, or relax into the large armchair for moments of repose. In summer, the floor-to-ceiling sliding patio doors can be opened to meet the wood deck, and in winter, seek moments of hygge beside the wood burning stove. Vying for attention are captivating views from the windows, rolling across the private paddock and towards the village and countryside beyond. Meanwhile, for added entertainment is a Sonos sound system and 4K Sky television for those ambient evenings cosied up on the sofa with a glass of something special.
A sweet space for curating all your culinary favourites, Cyder Barn's fully equipped kitchen sets an idyllic backdrop for channelling creativity and is warmed by underfloor heating. Swathed in cream-kissed hues, this soothing sanctuary has everything you need for mealtimes, from its deep Belfast sink to its granite worktop space to its built-in appliances, including a Neff ceramic hob and fan oven. To set the rhythm, a baby blue Robert's radio resides on the side to soundtrack your staycation moments. Ready to welcome you for dining deux, the kitchen has a dining table and chairs, meanwhile, the outdoor terrace stars an additional seating area with rural vistas for those balmy summer lunches and soul-lifting sundowners.
Providing serene slumber, the stunning master bedroom takes inspiration from its countryside view, adorned in calming hues. Taking pride of place in the centre of the room, the king size bed promises a heavenly Hypnos mattress enswathed in White Company Egyptian cotton bedding for the deepest sleeps. For ultimate luxury underfoot, underfloor heating imbues warmth, while atop the bed, cushions and throws made by local producers in St Agnes offer even more sumptuousness. For movie nights in bed, a Smart television and Sonos sound system can be found here too. Completing the picture are matching bedside tables, a chest of drawers, and cupboard for stowing treasures.
The incredible bathroom has a stunning walk-in double shower room with two overhead rain shower heads. Exuding atmosphere and adding a rich organic feel are glazed stone tiles in muted hues, complemented by wooden furniture and stainless-steel inflections. For utmost comfort is underfloor heating and a heated towel rail, while adding ambience is LED mood lighting and an inbuilt sound system. Residing opposite the front door, a separate utility room also features an additional shower, just perfect for rinsing off after salt-kissed days on the beach and bathing doggy paws after long walks in the countryside.
Step through the sliding glass doors from the living room onto the decking area to find a tranquil utopia outside. Starring a long wooden deck daubed in dappled light from the surrounding trees, Cyder Barn's deck makes for the most perfect spot to indulge in alfresco repasts around the dining table and simply recline with a drink or two. The pice de rsistance, a hot tub with stunning country views also rests on the deck and lures for magical mornings under open skies and evenings stargazing under a cosmic glow.
From the decking, take a few steps down to find the private paddock. A verdant idyll, the paddock paints a canvas-worthy scene with soft grass and a cute love bench and is perfect for picnics and playtime with your canine companion. Head over in the evening to catch the last of the evening sunshine and watch as a slow sunset paints the sky.
Two dogs are very welcome at Cyder Barn. A sleeping basket will be left in the utility room, alongside a water bowl, food bowl and a dog towel. Please note, there is an additional fee per dog, per week or short break.

Really good quality accommodation in a beautiful and secluded location, yet close to an excellent village pub! Great access for walking and to the beautiful Cornish coast.Finished to a high standard with a lot of thought on making a truly comfortable and memorable stay!
We had an excellent stay at The Cyder Barn! The interior is beautiful, the size is perfect for two adults & two small dogs. Fantastic base to discover & explore the north Cornwall coast. The enclosed paddock is a great asset and the jacuzzi was very special after a day out exploring & super easy to use. The historic pub a 4 minute walk down the lane was great too! We would definitely recommend!
It was the best Boutique Retreat we have ever stayed at. It exceeded expectations we loved it.The welcome treats were a lovely surprise. The owner was so friendly and welcoming. We loved how dog friendly this property was. Such a great property if you have dogs.
It was lovely! We loved the hot tub, comfortable bed, fab TV/ music set up, and the welcome hamper was fabulous too. We had a brilliant stay and the house was everything we could want. The owner has thought of everything!
We had a most enjoyable stay at the Cyder Barn. We found it to be beautifully presented with high end fixtures and fittings. Particularly enjoyed the hi spec music system running from room to room. The location was perfect with fabulous rural views, set in a quiet village.with close proximity to the local pub. We enjoyed our regular strolls to the Miners Arms, to what we considered, a very tasty, good value menu. Then finally, having access and use of the attached paddock. Hattie our rather energetic cocker spaniel had a fantastic holiday too. It was without doubt, a perfect holiday for all three of us. We will be coming back!
Absolutely lovely romantic retreat. Great hosts and an amazing setting with everything needed within easy reach. Great pub on the door step, amazing beaches and walks within minutes and fabulously dog friendly with a lovely paddock for sole use. We love it and will return
Had another great stay. Pure bliss enjoying the good weather in the attached paddock while we indulged in the scones from the welcome basket. Comfiest sofa and so relaxing to be here. Thankyou so much :)
Great, comfortable and well-equipped cottage and so a good week away. Emma was very helpful but also left us alone to enjoy our holiday. Useful advice on local walks in the cottage book. Paddock was not fully escape-proof for a determined Springer puppy but presented good opportunities to practise recall - nevertheless great to have and the cottage was very dog friendly. Will aim to return.
Fantastic property, so relaxing! Lovely bright and welcoming interior, private secluded property. A short drive to excellent beaches and an even shorter walk to the local pub for food. Our third stay here and just as clean and fresh as the first time we visited. Cannot recommend enough.
Wonderful retreat in the Cornish countryside, amazing property warm, cosy and well equipped. The hot tub and views over our own private paddock was a highlight for us both. Great location for days out and visiting St Agnes. Local pub just a short stroll down the lane, perfect stay for us !! The welcome hamper was a real treat, will definitely book this property again.
