Tips for other travellers
Excellent location for accessing north Cornwall coast, but in a peaceful location. Plenty of choice for places to from family friendly cafes and pubs to Michelin star dining. We enjoyed the evening views from the Merrymoor Inn.
Nice to walk along the coastal path between the bays.
Mark and Mary (the owners) were very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.
The accommodation was excellent and well maintained and very well equipped with all you need. I would have no trouble recommending them.
Tips for other travellers:-
There are lots of good pubs and restaurants around we liked the Pickwick inn in I think St Issy. Padstow has lots of shops and restaurants including Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth. Puccello’s is also very nice but unfortunately you cannot book.
It is worth getting the ferry from Padstow over to Rock which also has big name chefs.
Our favourite beach is Trevone which has a shop and cafe and also a coffee trailer selling pasty’s and panini sandwiches. It also has lifeguards as there is a lot of surfing. There are lots of beaches not too far away to explore. Wadebridge is not too far away for some shopping and Truro is also worth a visit.
Mary & Mary were lovely hosts. We were made to feel very welcome and they were always at the end of the phone on the few occasions we needed some help. The accommodation was well thought out with ample storage, particularly loved the coat and shoe rack.
We were really appreciative of the wind breaks 😀 which we took to the beach.
Thank you for a lovely stay.

Lovely carvery at the Farmers Arms St Merryn and very child/dog friendly.
Bedruthan Steps National Trust worth a vid if especially the cafe!

Comments about this property
Superb accommodation. Everything has been well thought through and feels like a home from home. We love the log burner as it makes the lounge feel so homely. Mark and Mary were both so friendly and you can tell that they really have such a passion for what they do, nothing is too much!
Tips for other travellers:-
So many amazing beaches nearby. Our favourite is Mawgan Porth and we love the pub where you can sit and watch the sunset. Amazing area of Cornwall. Padstow is a great town to visit and offers great options for pubs and restaurants.
Really well equipped property, beautifully presented and great hosts who were very responsive
The Cow Shed (sleeps 4-5 persons)

Lovely owners - very friendly. The cottage was very comfy and clean, and the bed was super. Great location - handy for the beaches and Padstow, but also handy to head west on the A39. Loved the welcome pack - much appreciated. Owners were very accommodating of our electric vehicle and we were able to charge using an outside 13amp plug. We told them our kWh usage and they calculated the rate for us.

The property was beautiful and although we didn’t cook, if we needed to, everything was there. The bed was super comfy…I was very pleased with the whole place.

The family loved the setting of the Barn. It was fantastic. The main thing with a family holiday is the kids. For me, if the kids are happy I am happy. Beds was so comfortable and very clean. The barn has everything you need to make your stay so enjoyable. Will definitely visit again. Out of all our stay, this is the best.
We are happy family.
Loved everything about our stay!
Mark and Mary were perfect hosts. Very relaxed and did not impose but were very ready to assist if needed. Lovely couple.
Location was perfect for what we needed to do.
Fantastic location, everything you needed (home to home with quality appliances etc) fantastic powerful shower which is always a good start to the day and comfortable bed.
everything, it was amazing, very well done and to a high standard and the owners were really helpful and lovely there was nothing to dislike
Excellent location. Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Everything was perfect. A really lovely holiday and somewhere special.
Nothing to not like.
I really enjoyed it.
lovely house, a place to relax. friendly owners, lots of tips to do and see.
Excellent hosts excellent stay and good location for the week break. Good quality furniture (bed and sofa) excellent shower had all amenities required for your stay (hairdryer,iron and ironing board,fan,games)
would prefer a traditional oven
The Cart Barn (sleeps x2 Adults)
Just returned from a fantastic 5 days at the cart barn. Everything was perfect, wonderful central location, lovely converted barn, spotlessly clean, equipped with every extra you may possibly need. Large covered parking area and outside space with table and chairs was unexpected bonus. Bed was so comfy and the setting so peaceful and quiet we felt fully refreshed to explore this beautiful part of Cornwall.Mary and Mark made us feel very welcome and took the time to give us all the tips and info we needed on the area as this was our first visit to seven bays but hopefully not our last. Can’t wait for our next visit. Thanks.
Fantastic hosts, converted barn was spacious and cool on a hot summer's day/night. Can’t fault anything, room was well thought out with nice individual touches. Covered car port was a nice surprise
The Cow Shed (sleeps 4-5 persons)
Location was great , nice quiet area , dedicated parking , excellent Wifi , standard of accommodation was very good , with everything I needed .
Absolutely fantastic location only 10 minutes away from many beaches and amazing layout of the property. We felt really at home and welcomed. The property had everything we needed and everything was super comfy! 100% returning next time! Thank you very much Mark and Mary you have really outdone yourselves!
The barn conversion was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. It was very well equipped. We enjoyed sitting outside on the patio. It was a very peaceful location.
The Cart Barn (sleeps x2 Adults)
We have just returned from a wonderful 5 nights stay in the cart shed.Decorated to a very high standard, spotlessly clean, very comfortable and well equipped.
Superb peaceful setting and within easy reach of Padstow and some beautiful beaches.
Mary and Mark were excellent hosts and extremely welcoming and very knowledgable about the local area.
Highly recommend!
A big thank you to you both and we will definitely be back soon.

We Absolutely loved our accommodation @ The Cow shed.
A well converted Barn, Very nicely furnished and had a cosy feel to it. Nice & peaceful in the evening and full of birdsong in the morning.
A great location as you can travel no more than Ten minutes and find yourself on one of Cornwall’s lovely beaches.
We had a great stay & would definitely come back.

Lovely, clean and spacious. Friendly hosts. Nicely decorated, really comfy bed and all appliances you would need.
Nothing we did no like
The location was great. The property itself was well kept, and decorated to a high standard. It was better than I had expected. The place was very clean. I was very happy with the kitchen and the whole studio flat. Having parking on the premises was a great bonus.
NEverything was great including the hosts. The location was close enough to Padstow beach and the promenade.
We stayed in the “Cow Shed” which could have slept six so was very spacious for two. Very clean and bright with good sized rooms and a modern feel. Fully equipped kitchen (hob,oven,microwave,kettle,washing machine,fridge,freezer,dishwasher,sink,crockery,glassware). Basically a home from home. Mark and Mary were on hand and very pleasant to talk to, but never intrusive. Very handy for Padstow and Newquay but lovely and quiet location with very little passing traffic. We will definitely be back if we are fortunate enough to find it available and will be recommending it to friends and family. Maybe we should have lied and said it was rubbish because I think it might become one of those places that becomes 100% booked. Thank you Mark and Mary. Hope to see you again next year.
We first came to St Petrocs Barn just over a year ago when we used the B&B accommodation and could not have been happier with the accommodation, (and the delicious breakfasts)!
We returned to St Petrocs recently and this time round we booked the recently renovated studio barn and were delighted. The accommodation was tastefully decorated, with everything brand new and we were left wanting for nothing.
Mary & Mark remembered us from our last visit, and were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
Would we recommend the Studio Barn and B&B to our friends and family, most definitely.
Amazing accommodation, ideal location for exploring beaches, Padstow and rest of Cornwall…we had a truly amazing time!
A very comfortable stay in wonderful accommodation, very close to Padstow and other stunning landmarks. Mark & Mary have made their property covid safe, instilling confidence whilst being lucky to travel during this uncertain time. The breakfast, other little touches in the room, fantastic local knowledge & recommendations have made the visit more enjoyable. This accommodation will not disappoint.
Nothing 10/10
Lovely relaxing & welcoming stay
Lovely short break in the B&B where Mary & Mark made us feel very welcome - room was very comfortable and fully equipped with everything required. Greats comms prior to visit and made us feel at ease with all of the additional covid-19 controls they had in place. Located at the edge of a very small village, it was so peaceful but you will need to drive - perfect for popping into Padstow (11 mins) or over to the coast where there are some fantastic walks - also great recommendations on where to eat & go. Breakfast was also very good
Nothing - keep doing what you’re doing as was a lovely stay and can see why you have got good reviews
Excellent stay in beautiful surroundings
Mary and Mark were very welcoming, Mary made millionaire shortbread to welcome us which was fabulous and Mark made a cracking breakfast - thank you both. Our room was beautiful with our own private entrance and dedicated parking spot. Hairdryer, iron & ironing board and expresso coffee machine were also made available along with other amenities. Room was lovely and warm with underfloor heating throughout and the bed was really good quality - perfect for someone with back issues. Lovely bathroom too. We would definitely stay again but next time would like to try one of the self catering barn for a longer stay - they look lovely too.
Nothing to improve on as far as we are concerned. Could not have been any better. 10/10

Quiet, safe, peaceful and memorable. A home away from home.
We stayed at this property for our first ever family holiday to Cornwall and could not have had a better time. Perfectly situated between popular Padstow and Morgan Porth / Newquay beaches, the accommodation was beautifully quiet in a rural setting. It was clean, modern and just plain comfy. We very rarely leave reviews but just had to with this one as it's been many years since we've stayed in such an amazing place. Thanks so much to our hosts for having us for the week. It's left such an impression on us we can't wait to be back for future holidays. 10/10

We had a lovely stay/mini moon in the barn. The setting is gorgeous and quiet. The barn is superbly finished and the hosts were lovely. They had left us some home made scones, and a bottle of bubbly!

The bed was comfortable, we had a great sleep. Breakfast was great. We loved the location and listening to bird songs every morning. It was amazing, we are already planning our next trip. 10/10

Spotless, warm and cosy barn conversion situated in a central location not far from key points of interest. Great as a base but even better as a place to rest and relax - even in the winter. Hosts very accommodating.
