Hideaway Barn near Praa Sands is a super spacious property sleeping 4 people very comfortably.

One of four converted barns, each with their own space and privacy, Hideaway was originally built to accommodate the local herd of cows. Owners have worked hard to sympathetically renovate the barns ensuring that some of the original features (like the wall mounted bull ring in the hallway) remain in place as a reminder of the past.

In nearby Rosudgeon, you will find a great pub and handy convenience store.

Located less than 3 miles from Praa Sands, this lovely property provides the perfect base for exploring the nearby Cornish countryside and stunning west Cornwall coast.

Praa Sands has an array of facilities to keep you entertained including the golden sand beach which stretches for over a mile. Water sport hire, cafe, pub and restaurant can all also be found down on the beach. Praa Sands can also boast a super 9 hole golf course which overlooks the sea.

Hideaway Barn offers easy access around the west of Cornwall including Helston, Penzance and St Ives. Nearby Marazion is home to the famous and much loved St Michaels Mount which has to be on your visit list!

The famous Pengersick Castle is just a few minutes drive from Sampson Barn as indeed is the National Trust property Godolphin House and its lovely gardens.

Beautiful St Germoe's church is a couple of miles from the property and is well worth a visit with parts of the church dating back to the 12th century.

The villages and towns of Porthleven, Helston, Marazion, St Michaels Mount and Penzance are all within a 15 minute drive.

Outside

To the back of Hideaway Barn (where you enter the property from the parking area) you have a secured garden with good size lawn and patio with furniture.

The local area

A beautifully bright white beach, stunning surroundings and brilliant surfing conditions are just three reasons why you’ll love your holiday in Praa Sands. Sat around a mile-long sandy beach on the shores of Mount’s Bay, Praa Sands is a coastal village sandwiched between the Lizard Peninsula and Penzance.

Of course, the beach is the main draw to Praa Sands. This huge sweep of sand is so bright and white, it almost looks tropical. Made from seashells crushed by the waves over millions of years, you’ll love sunbathing, soaking up the views and building sandcastles here. The beach is lined by turquoise waters and undulating sand dunes, making it a real Cornish idyll.

Surfers flock here for the surprisingly good (and sometimes huge!) waves; in fact Praa Sands is one of the best surfing beaches on Cornwall’s south coast. But the beach is equally popular with families. There is seasonal lifeguard cover, plenty of rock pools teeming with crabs and mermaid purses to explore and shallow waters to splash about in. Praa Sands also has a surf school where beginners can book lessons and hire equipment.

Just behind the beach sits Sandbar, a bustling bar where you can enjoy spectacular panoramic sea views whilst tucking into fresh seafood suppers and sipping on a cocktail or cold Cornish cider. Praa Sands also has a small shop, beachfront cafe and fish and chip takeaway – one of our favourite things to do is take ours down to the beach to enjoy while the sun sets over the sea.

If one beach just isn’t enough, you can follow the South West Coast Path and discover secret sheltered coves, including Kenneggy Cove, Rinsey and Prussia Cove. With so many secret inlets peppering the surrounding coastline, it’s no surprise that smuggling was rife here. In fact, one of Cornwall’s most infamous and successful smugglers, John Carter (better known as the King of Prussia) was supposedly born in Pengersick House, just behind Praa Sands beach.

Away from the beach, golfers can play a round at Praa Sands’ 9-hole golf course. Take a tour around Pengersick Castle and its grounds, but only if you’re feeling brave enough! Considered one of the most haunted places in Cornwall, ghost hunters tell tales of a black-robed monk wandering around the grounds… Behind the beach you’ll also find an interesting memorial dedicated to a British war plane which crash landed here during WWII. The plane was damaged by German bombers over the Bay of Biscay, but made it all the way back and landed without any loss of life.

During your holiday in Praa Sands, make sure to visit Penzance and its legendary pirates, the magical island castle of St Michael’s Mount in Marazion, Mousehole’s iconic old harbour, Porthleven and its crashing waves, the hidden coves of the Lizard Peninsula and the famous art galleries of St Ives, all only a short drive away.
