Penvith Barns

Penvith Barns is a multi-building barn complex near Looe in southeast Cornwall, sleeping 12 across 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms - one of the larger group properties in the area. The layout spans a main barn, a separate adjoining barn, and The Piggery annex, providing 3 king-size rooms, 1 twin, 1 double with additional single, and 1 double. Two kitchens and three lounge areas allow larger groups to spread out without friction.

Plaidy Beach is 1.6km away, a sheltered cove on the western edge of Looe Bay. East Looe Beach is 2.8km, the main town beach with water sports hire and a seasonal lifeguard patrol. Looe itself is a working fishing port with a daily fish market, independent pubs, and a regular passenger ferry across the estuary between East and West Looe.

The property includes a wood burner, BBQ, WiFi, parking, and a garden. Dogs are welcome. The rural St Martin setting means a car is essential. Rated 3.6 out of 5 from 12 reviews - lower than comparable properties - with cleanliness scoring 3/5, so guests with high standards for presentation should factor this in. This property is best for large families or groups of up to 12 who need the space and flexibility of multiple buildings, and can accept a rural location without resort-level finish.
