We had an amazing few days at The Dairy. Victoria stayed in touch with us from the initial booking, to the day before and day of arrival with instructions and directions. Fantastic customer service.The location was excellent for exploring north and south Cornwall. The Dairy itself was clean, comfortable and cosy with everything you needed. My two miniature schnauzers loved the woodburner after a long day of walking! The superking bed was fit for a King! So comfy and cosy. I had the best sleeps.
The grounds were incredible and having access to the whole garden and lake was so lovely especially having two dogs. We even had access to the vegetable garden! We enjoyed leeks, potatoes, swiss chard, beetroot and cavelo nero! Fresh from the ground to plate in 20 minutes! It felt like a little retreat! We would highly recommend.

A good location for visiting the north and south coast of Cornwall and gardens, peaceful, very comfortable and well equipped, with some lovely walks from the cottage.

We have stayed at The Dairy on several occasions and we are always delighted to return to this comfortable and beautifully peaceful cottage. Vicky and Darren are lovely, welcoming hosts and their attention to detail is remarkable. Benallack Barn is well placed, giving easy access to all parts of Cornwall, especially the Roseland Peninsula. I would recommend Benallack wholeheartedly!

We enjoyed our stay at the old dairy. It was ideally situated for visiting both north and south coasts and being off the beaten track it was very peaceful. The accommodation was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay and we appreciated the cinnamon buns (and dog treats) on arrival. Thank you!

Christmas in Cornwall is always lovely, and Benallack Barn is perfectly situated between north and south, and east/west. Close to Truro for shopping and ideal for walks along the many glorious beaches now peacefully free of the summer crowds. The Barn itself is somewhere we have returned to over several years. It has everything you need for a 'getaway' but also wi-fi so you can stay in touch or keep up with work. A key element for us is the dog friendliness - we have two small Dachshunds and they love the endless empty beaches - it means we can ALL enjoy Cornwall at its best.
The amenities (cooker, fridge, TV etc..) are fairly basic, but sufficient, and cold evenings dining in can be enjoyed just as you might at home. The bedroom is comfortable and shower is better than ours at home to be honest!
The night sky (when clear) is stunning and Benallack, situated where it is, offers fantastic views. We have been here in Summer too, and it is equally good, the small patio is perfect for evening meals watching the sky darken and listening to the distant sounds of the occasional trains on the Newquay - Truro line. Cornwall is rather busy as a whole so the experience different, hard to know which we prefer but the accommodation works every time.

We had a lovely stay. The weather was not as good as it could have been , but having a comfortable place to stay made up for it. Unfortunately we were busy walking the SWCP & never had time to enjoy the beautiful grounds - we'll just have to came back!
The EV car charging made our stay completely stress free highly recommended.

We enjoyed our stay at the Dairy very much. Freshly cut flowers, cinnamon buns, tea, coffee were there to meet us on arrival. Contact with the owner Vicky however was fairly minimal, but as everything was well-explained in the customer information provided, not strictly necessary.The Dairy is roomy with attractive furnishings and thoughtful details for dog-owners such as a throw for the sofa, yummy dog biscuits and doggie shampoo and towel. There is a stair gate to prevent dogs from going upstairs. After one night of complaining our Labradoodle accepted that she had to sleep downstairs! The courtyard in front of the Dairy is very pleasant and was quiet during our stay as the Bullpen wasn't let. Just the occasional meeting with the two friendly dogs who live there. Weather permitting, the Dairy has its own little patio for sitting outside.
For us the highlight was the wonderful garden...so beautiful and well-kept. A lovely space to stroll, while admiring the lake with the cornfields beyond. We visited the vegetable garden on several occasions where guests are allowed to pick vegetables for their own use. Cavolo nero, runnerbeans, squashes, onions etc.etc. What a treat!
The location is central, within easy reach of either coast. St. Michael's Mount is an hour away. There is a good footpath from the door for dog-owners. All in all a lovely place to stay in this wonderful part of England!

A pleasure staying at the Dairy. Apartment is fitted with high quality and well maintained furnishings and the kitchen was well equipped with all necessities. Plenty of space for the 2 of us with our dog. The location was very peaceful and private. We highly recommend this apartment. Thank you Vicky for the lovely cinnamon buns to welcome us.

A beautiful little cottage tuck away from the hustle and bustle. Everything we needed for a short break away. Lovely to be able to access the well kept gardens and stroll through the fields in the evening.

This is well worth the visit. Thank you so much.

We have been to Benallack and stayed in The Dairy many times and as usual it did not disappoint. It is beautifully furnished and the bedding is very luxurious. There is everything included that you could wish for and even items offered that you may have forgotten to pack. The surrounding countryside is breathtaking and there are beautiful walks to do.

We will definitely return.

Great hosts, very well equipped tidy house and a perfect spot to explore Cornwall :-) Have a look at the suggested day trips in the visitors' book! You will have moderate distances to the hot spots and to those places which are located nearby the 'main paths'.

It would be difficult to oversell The Dairy. A delightful, well equipped cottage in a unsequestered green hollow, with easy access to just about anywhere you would wish to go: Only minutes from the nearest convenience store and arterial routes, journey times to the beaches and gardens of north, south - and mid Cornwall (!) - are comfortable.

Bellanack’s own garden provides space to wander - with well placed seating and details obvious and hidden to capture interest and invite relaxation. There is a public footpath and walks literally on Bellanack’s doorstep.

There are so many things to commend The Dairy; I’ll mention just 3: It isn’t just dog friendly, it just works so well and has everything thought through to promote the dog having a fun and relaxed holiday. It’s a cottage one can breathe in; definitely not one of those single bedroom cottages which are quaint and beautiful, but too tight on space to properly relax in. And finally, while the welcome information provides all you need to orient yourself in the cottage and in this lovely part of Cornwall, and Vicky is on hand for any queries, you won’t be bombarded or overwhelmed with information on the 20 local activities you might like to do each day!

The only disappointment was not having booked for a longer stay: Very much looking forward to returning.

Thank you, Team Bellanack.

Beautiful property in quiet, picturesque location. Comfortable furniture especially the bed! TV was a bit dated and picture wasn't the best - no Netflix or Youtube but who comes to Cornwall to watch TV? Couldn't figure out how to use the dishwasher and cooker but we didn't eat in much so it didn't really matter and we are sure that Vicky would have sorted us out if we had asked. The gardens were absolutely immaculate which made us a little anxious letting our two german shepherds off lead. Perfect for smaller dogs but two big dogs could have been a bit of a problem especially if they decided to have a "zoomies" moment. Pleased to say they didn't!
Great property in idylic location, We would have loved to have spent more time in the garden but that's one of the prices you pay if you respect your surroundings and have big dogs.

Daisy our rescue dog always sleeps in our bedroom in her own bed, so when we tried to leave her downstairs it did not work out for us so we will not be revisiting.
I have brought to the attention of the owners issues we had with some of the equipment.
Having said that the cottage and garden where wonderful the location was ideal for getting to the the coast and beaches

We stayed in The Dairy at Benallack and found it very charming and would return. As acknowledged by the owners, the kitchen is having a refit, which is probably needed, although everything that we needed was available. Unfortunately when we stayed, the dishwasher was broken and you couldn’t really read the dials on the cooker (a bit of guesswork was required), but we managed to cook nevertheless. The bathroom tap takes some getting used to!

There was a beautifully made up Queen-size bed, however we both had a bit of back ache from it.

There were some very nice touches, with milk in the fridge, gorgeous cinnamon buns and chocolates (from the dishwasher!), together with fresh flowers and toiletries if you needed them. We would recommend and would return.

We have visited Benallack on several occasions and it never loses its charm. The last two visits we were blessed with perfect weather and often spent the evenings in the Diary's small courtyard with a fine meal and a glass of wine. This time the weather was at best changeable as it has been for the whole country. That said we had several walking days and even one day at the beach. The area has so much to offer and the comfort of Benallack makes it a pleasant place to return to. It is safe and remote a haven of peace and tranquillity.
We expect to visit again and enjoy the unique countryside in which Benallack sits and listen for the distant rumble of the train on the Truro-Newquay line and take the steady climb to up the hill where you can gaze across the seemingly endless fields of Cornwall and watch the stunning sunsets.

We had a very peaceful stay at Benallack in mid-March and it was beautiful then so I can only imagine how much more idyllic it would be in the Summer. Both we and our dogs were made to feel welcome and comfortable and enjoyed our time.

Had a wonderful few days staying in The Dairy at Benallack Barn. Very comfortable, well equipped cottage, tastefully decorated. Loved the log burner for cosy evenings and very comfortable bedroom. Private courtyard garden would be lovely to enjoy Summer sunshine. Shared use of delightful huge garden area with pond and summerhouse with BBQ. Every detail had been thought of and Vicky was very welcoming and communicative. Thanks for the cinnamon buns - so thoughtful!
Excellent position to enjoy both the North and South coasts of Cornwall and the Roseland peninsula. Look forward to our return. Thank you

From the outset, the level of communication was fantastic and response to any questions prompt and very useful. Fantastic unique webpage for actual property and local information guide helped find local restaurants and attractions.
Property in a lovely quiet location, grounds of house are amazing and, if it had been in the spring or summer, am sure we would have used these more.
Accommodation very spacious, warm, homely and relaxing for 2. Everything in the property you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
An ideal place to explore a wonderful part of Cornwall.
All-in-all one of the best paces we have stayed and we hope to return in the near future.

This property is superb and having access to the most wonderful garden makes it magical. It’s obvious that a great deal of care and attention has gone into The Dairy to make it one of the most cosy and comfortable places we have stayed. Everything has been thought of with lots of extra touches that we really appreciated. We had the most relaxing week and would not hesitate to recommend - we certainly plan on making a return visit.

We adored the Dairy! We stayed with our 8 week old baby girl and our dog and it was utterly perfect. We didn’t want to leave! The Dairy is spacious yet cosy, with everything we needed, and there is so much to explore nearby - we’ll have to come back as we only fit in a fraction.

A local recommendation - we had two fantastic dinners at the Polgooth Inn (about 15 min drive away). We also had a brilliant walk along the coast at the Bedruthan steps.

Thanks for a fabulous stay, we’ll be back!

This is the second time we have visited the Dairy at Benallack Barn. As soon as we arrived a walk in their fabulous gardens began our restful holiday wonderfully.
Whilst in the countryside, you are just moments away from the main road and can head off in all directions, to the coast or inland.
The Dairy is gorgeous with little touches that make your stay special, including the fresh flowers, and cinnamon buns waiting for you! Everything is provided and you need to do little as you leave. The sumptuous superking bed in the lovely bedroom aids your restful sleep. The Dairy is always wonderfully clean and the family are always available should you need help with anything.

A second visit in a month with excellent weather. Ideally located between Cornwall's north and south coasts and nestled in quiet seclusion all make this a perfect place to escape and recharge. It is a real home from home for us and we love nothing more than having a quiet supper al fresco with a glass of white and gentle sunset.

We will be back.

We have stayed at Benallack Bull Pen several times but, now we have a dog, this was our first visit to the Dairy and we were very pleased with everything. It is perfect for a late evening drink or dinner 'Al Fresco' - we would spend a day out and about in Cornwall then return to a nice supper with a glass of wine to complete the day.
The remoteness of the place adds to its charm. The dog loved the countryside and we could walk late in the evening across the fields to see the moon rise and the sun set.
The accommodation was spacious for two people, the bed large, and the amenities all perfect save for a damaged corkscrew. Their is a TV and radio and the Wi-fi all works well. I was able to do some business from there no problem.
Despite its seclusion it lies between the two main routes through south-west Cornwall so it is easy to plan trips to the southern or northern coasts, and Truro with its magnificent cathedral is just 5-10 minutes away.

The Dairy is such a lovely, comfortable property from which to explore the area - warm and cosy, well-equipped and lots of special touches. Communication with Vicky was excellent, nothing was too much trouble and any small issues instantly addressed. I would recommend The Dairy to anyone looking for somewhere 'away from it all'.

What a wonder find, tucked away in the heart of Cornwalls beautiful countryside, we had a lovely time. The small touches and thoughtfulness of our hosts was exceptional. A lot of time and effort has been put in to make your stay perfect. We stayed in the Dairy with our Labrador, the cottage is very luxurious and very comfortable. Lovely gardens, summerhouse and pond and lots to do in the surrounding area. The information pack gives you all the information you need and the complementary cinnamon buns from the Da Bara bakery yummy, well we are hooked. We love Cornwall and have been many times, Benallack gave us the opportunity to find new beaches, walks, gardens and castles. We will be back.

The log burner was wonderful on a cold January night! Would love to return in the warmer weather to enjoy the full benefit of the location. Stunning barn; wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone. We had a lovely weekend.

Benallack Barn is set in lovely and very peaceful countryside but is well located for visiting most places in Cornwall. There are great beaches and places to eat nearby. The Dairy was exactly as described - very comfortable and cosy! Classic FM playing upon arrival, fresh flowers from the garden and delicious cinnamon buns! Absolutely delightful! We were made to feel so welcome and it was lovely to share the beautiful garden. We treasure happy memories of sitting by the lake with a bottle of wine, the fairy lights in the beautiful tree in the courtyard which made it look so magical at night and the log burner kept us warm and cosy as autumn approached! Wonderful! The laundry room was very practical and useful, too. Thank you for everything. We hope to return again sometime soon.

2 blissful weeks in the Dairy - helped by constant sunshine! The house is beautifully furnished and supplied with everything you could possibly need - and more - the 4 vases of fresh flowers from the garden the loveliest example of that. And the famous cinnamon buns! It is spacious yet cosy. Homely yet luxurious. Private yet part of their home.
Vicky and Darren are so generous in sharing their space and their knowledge - the gardens are lovely and produce from the veg patch was the basis of few home cooked meals- preceded by drinks in the summerhouse in the setting sun. Fantastic position for exploring - particularly the stunning Roseland peninsula. We’ve stayed in many places - this is one of the best.

Tbe dairy was the perfect cottage for our honeymoon. It was beautiful inside and out.
A lovely little touch on arrival with a card left for us congratulating us on our marriage!
The garden was stunning! Such a relaxing place to stay we couldn't have asked for more.
Even our little Jack Russell donut had a lovely time.
Thank you for such a perfect honeymoon cottage.

We really had a fabulous stay in a very beautiful cottage. The Dairy is very roomy and well equipped and beautifully furnished. The super king bed so comfortable we slept so well.
Vicky and Darren so helpful and the gardens, lake and boathouse are fantastic. We particularly loved sitting in the boathouse having a glass of wine and early morning watching the dragon flies. Great location fir sightseeing.

The Dairy was perfect for our first family holiday. Loved the style and design and the gardens were lovely for walking around. The accommodation was very well stocked and we followed many of the suggested days out from the welcome pack. Both Vicky and Darren were super helpful throughout, even laying the fire in the pizza oven and lending us some recipe books! Will definitely recommend!

Our stay at Benallack was a perfect break, especially after not leaving home for so long. The Dairy is truly a wonderful, comfortable stay. The bed is so comfortable and waking up in that lovely room was a joy. We were blessed with lovely weather and the gardens are beautiful to wander around. Our dog loved to play there with Béa and Margot. My husband said ‘ I could quite happily live here’ which I guess is a fab recommendation. Loved it, thanks Vicky and Darren.

we had a lovely relaxing stay in the dairy with our dog. This is a lovely cottage, spotlessly clean, well decorated and well equipped. The garden is beautiful and there is a safe country walk directly from the door. The hosts were very welcoming and their own dogs are great and friendly. The location is good for visiting all Cornwall's attractions, but very peaceful and quiet. We hope to be able to return.

We stayed at The Dairy for 6 nights in mid April 2021 as lock down relaxed. What a great choice. The location is excellent for exploring Cornwall being very central The property is in a quiet location, but close to local amenities. The Dairy was very well equipped with EVERYTHING you would require from great walking maps and books, to picnic rugs for the beach.
The room was very comfortable, especially with a huge comfortable bed, guaranteeing a great nights sleep. The bathroom wss also excellent with a super shower,constant hot water and great heating throughout the cottage. The laundry room was a helpful addition for a long stay.
We made great use of the beautiful gardens. The welcoming courtyard with it's pretty fairy lights in the tree, drinks in the summer house by the lake and an evening around the gardens fire pit.
Vicky was a very welcoming host, with lots of helpful advice about places to visit. We would not hesitate to return to Benallack Barn and have alraedy recommended it to friends.

Like others have already said, 'The Dairy' really does deserve its excellent reviews. We stayed for 3 nights over Christmas and had a wonderful stay. Vicky and Darren couldn't have done more for us. Lots of little extra touches ensured a real home away from home. The cottage itself is very well equipped with everything we needed and is furnished to a high standard with comfortable furniture and king bed. Would highly recommend!

A wonderful 10 days in blustery Cornwall! Great cottage with brilliant facilities, lovely customer service and perfectly located to get to north and south coast as well as being not too far from Truro. We very much hope to stay again somewhen. Couldn’t recommend Vicky and Benallack highly enough. Francesca, Tom & Baby George

We had a really great week in The Dairy.
Furnishings and facilities were spot on - wonderfully comfortable super king size bed, excellent shower and very cosy wood burner.
Breakfast on the secluded terrace was great at the beginning of the week but the weather stoped that after a few days.
The location was perfect - isolated countryside but in easy reach of both north and south costs within 30 minutes and most of the rest of Cornwall in just over an hour.
If I had to find a fault it would be that the lighting in the sitting room wasn’t quite good enough for me to read the newspaper.

We highly recommend and will certainly plan to return in the future.

We had a fabulous time at Benallack Barn. We stayed on the Dairy which I would highly recommend, it was spotlessly clean with beautiful linens, overall it felt very luxurious. We had our 5 month baby with us and it was the perfect break. Lots of gorgeous county side on your doorstop and lots of lovely walks around to explore it. We will definitely be visiting again.

We had a wonderful and well needed break at Banallack - The Dairy was warm, comfortable, cosy and clean. Everything has been thought of, and we were made to feel most welcome. The gardens are beautifully kept which you're welcome to explore
Really liked the location, not too far to reach a main road which gave plenty of scope to reach both North and South Coasts, or visit the fabulous spring gardens - we only had a short break, wish we had longer as so much more to explore. Would definitely return - let's hope the NHS can spare us in the near future! Vicky and Darren you have created a gem it was appreciated thank you

We booked a long weekend at the The Diary, Benallack Barn on the spur of the moment so did not know what to expect. We were really pleased with what greeted us, tea, coffee, milk and two deliciously made local cinnamon buns, as well as dog bedding and bowls. The cottage is beautifully presented, a large very comfortable bed and for those cold evenings a large log burner. The cottage is centrally located so the South and North shore are not far away. We would without doubt stay here again.

The barn is in a very quite and peaceful location and its gardens are amazing. We were very comfortable for the few days we were there and could have stayed a lot longer if we could have. Lots of places to visit nearby, excellent dog friendly beaches and places to eat. Vicky is very welcoming and you got the impression that nothing would be any trouble to her.

Regrettably we came to the end of a wonderful six day stay in this idyllic eco-friendly character cottage. As we entered the Dairy on our arrival, we were welcomed by gentle strains of classical music. And thank you, Vicky, for the delicious muffins. Your attention to detail is apparent throughout the cottage, and we were very comfortable. The fresh flower arrangements throughout the cottage also contributed to the overall ambiance. We seriously contemplated extending our stay once we had moved in.

Benallack Barn as a property is magnificent, steeped in Cornish history. We were so taken by the formal parkland garden, vegetable gardens and summerhouse, and enjoyed their peace and tranquility - a haven to return to after a day out.

We look forward to a return visit in the not too distance future.

A superb cottage really well equipped and importantly for us dog friendly. the nearby beaches and walks were all dog friendly. The information sheets provided and available maps were really useful in selecting where to take the dog. We visited both north and south coast beaches all of which were within easy reach of the cottage. Very friendly and helpful hosts.
The only small criticism was that the shower at the cottage was difficult to enter and exit because of the configuration of the door which opened inward into the shower. This was caused by the roof line of the cottage making it impossible to open any other way!!

The Dairy was a beautiful cottage which was spotlessly clean and very well equiped. It was cosy and comfortable and we really appreciated the log burner with its endless supply of logs as it was a little chilly in the evenings. The information pack was brilliant in alerting us to beaches, cafes, walks etc. If the weather had been kinder we would have spent more time in the large fantastic gardens which we were encouraged to enjoy by the owners (also to helping ourselves to the veg garden)! It was by far the best self catering cottage we have stayed in and look forward to returning soon. Thank you Vicky for a lovely holiday.

So many details taken care of, you may be in danger of taking them for granted.
Good location if you enjoy your peace and quiet. We used it as a base to run daily skirmishes to south-coast locations and Lands End. Two dreamy cinnamon danish pastries were waiting for us on arrival and milk was in the fridge.
You are left to your own devices but if you need anything Vicky is ready to help.
Pity about the weather...

We (myself, husband and 2 dogs) stayed in The Dairy at Benallack Barn and from the moment we arrived we felt completely relaxed. It was spotlessly clean and everything seems to have been thought of to ensure our stay was perfect.

It is very well appointed and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and relaxed and the extra touches such as fresh flowers, milk and cakes helped to make our stay special. There were even bowls, treats and poo bags left out for our dogs so we were all well catered for.

The owners garden is gorgeous and they allow you to use it at any time and our dogs loved playing with their dog and children.

It is in the perfect location for exploring all parts of Cornwall.

Property was lovely and clean, when we arrived there were lovely cinnamon buns for us and a pint of milk in the fridge, it was a lovely touch.

There is a small courtyard but you are able to use the owners garden and that is absolutely beautiful.

The family are very friendly and always there to help.

Kitchen is very well equipped has everything you would need and more.

We would recommend the property to everyone, for us it was a short drive about 35-40 minutes to the north coast beaches which we like to visit.

We loved the fresh flowers, bread, coffee, Cornish biscuits, beautiful garden and firewood for the stove that took seconds to provide a gloriously warm welcome. This is pure, thoughtful and generous luxury.

Neil and I with our 12 year old Patterdale cross spent a wonderful week in The Dairy at the end of March. The cottage was immaculate and beautifully furnished a lovely place to return to at the end of the day. Location is very good both coastlines easily accessible visiting St Ives Port Isaac and Padstow ( Steins fish and chips not to be missed) on the North coast and Polperro St Mawes and Mevagissey on the South coast also spent a lovely day in the Lost Gardens of Helligan. The log burner was greatly appreciated as the evenings were quite chilly. I must mention the wonderful bed which was so comfortable. All in all a fabulous week in beautiful surroundings. Thankyou Vicky for being so welcoming and helpful and hopefully we will return in the near future.

From the minute we walked into the cottage we felt it had the wow factors. Furniture & furnishings were lovely. The cottage met all our needs and lived up all our expectations. Huge bed was very welcoming! Location was ideal for our own needs for travelling to both the south & north coasts. Facilities were excellent including the laundry room off the court yard. Our dogs were very welcome and there were lovely gardens that they could explore and fields beyond. Vicky was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Log burner made the room very cosy and we lit it every evening with plenty of wood available in the log store. There were loads of dog friendly beaches to visit in the area - our favourite being Watergate Bay were the facilities were superb.

Benallack Barn is the best self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in, either in the UK or Europe. So comfortable, spacious and fitted out with everything you could ever want on holiday, the log burner (logs supplied) was much in use during a cold week in April. The comfortable bed is mentioned time and time again in the visitors book – with good reason. The large garden, which guests are free to roam or picnic in, is stunning with a beautiful lake and summer house. The location in an old farmyard is quiet and very relaxing, and situated just outside Truro is ideal for visiting every corner of Cornwall – it is just a few miles from the Lost Gardens of Heligan which are well worth a visit. Well-behaved dogs are welcome and this is an ideal spot for couples who wish to get away from the rat-race for some quiet down time.

The Dairy was ideal for our break. The cottage had everything to ensure that we had a very comfortable stay. It had a well fitted kitchen, comfortable seating in the sitting room and a very comfortable bed. The owners, Linda and Paul, were lovely people who made us feel at home and were happy for us to wander around their beautiful gardens. The location is excellent with the South Coast, the Eden Project, St Austell, Truro and many gardens within easy reach. Land's End and the North Coast are also within an easy drive.

We had the most wonderful 5-night stay at Benallack Barn. My husband and I stayed in The Dairy which was quite simply perfect in every way. The setting is incredibly peaceful, being located down a quiet country road with gorgeous rolling countryside for views. Despite this, the barn is located very centrally in cornwall so everywhere was very accessible and we managed to explore all corners of the county during our stay.

Linda and Paul were wonderful hosts, offering some great tips for exploring the local area, but very much leaving us to enjoy the space to ourselves for the most part. They have thought of everything - a very well stocked kitchen, beautiful interiors, plenty of wood and kindling for the wood burning stove and some lovely local produce to help get us on our way when we checked in (bread from the bakery down the road, cornish butter and milk, jam and freshly laid eggs from their own chickens)!

Absolutely loved this place and can't wait to return someday soon!

This place is a gem! We loved everything about our time there. The cottage was super - clean and up to date with modern conveniences and the best hot water shower! The owners couldn't have been nicer. Everything was thought of to make our stay easier. We'd recommend this to anyone looking for a beautiful place from which to explore the beauty of Cornwall - anytime of year. We stayed a week over Christmas and it was cozy, warm and quiet... bet it's gorgeous in the summer too!

We spent our honeymoon at the dairy. It was a beautiful place to stay, and the dairy was immaculately appointed. The kitchen was well stocked, basic ingredients provided on arrival. A great base to explore both coasts. We were also treated to meeting the last puppy and sampling the house IPA! Five stars, many thanks.

Our hosts were never intrusive but always available and helpful. The garden is an oasis of calm.

Eggs from Linda & Paul's hens and wonderful bread from Da Bara Bakery in Grampound road, less than a mile away!

Ideal location for exploring both North and south Cornwall - highly recommended.

Anyone wishing to experience the heart of Cornwall but off the beaten track will find Benallack Barn the perfect spot. It is an unpretentious bolt hole down a quiet lane amongst high hedges and rolling fields. It is also a good place to stay if you are keen to visit Cornwall's famous gardens and the South and North coasts of this County. Trelissick is only minutes away (make sure you visit this garden) and Helligan an easy, uncomplicated drive from your doorstep. The real charm of Benallack is that you could quite easily decide not to go anywhere! The small courtyard/patio immediately outside your door is a private space to enjoy birdsong, the scents or early Spring, shrubs, plants and tranquility of place. You can take footpaths from the lane crossing the Cornish countryside, far from the madding crowd. The setting is so lovely that we treated ourselves out to lunch but bought fish from Fowey and bread, fresh meat and vegetables from the farmshop at Heligan preferring to enjoy the peacefulness of the barn in the evening. There is pleasant, well stocked kitchen and a wood burner to enjoy on chillier evenings.

This is my second visit. The two things one needs when you travel away from home is plenty of hot water and comfortable beds. You will certainly find these at Benallack! Even the Shakespearian storms and tempests that we experienced a few weeks ago did not detract from a restful break here and it is somewhere I would definitely return. An excellent cinema at St. Sustell and all the charms and facilities of Truro are on your doorstep. A glimpse of the Cornwall I remember as a child but with comfort and the benefits of the picturesque.

We arrived at 5pm and it was twilight. We walked into a beautiful welcoming cottage with log burner lit, subdued lighting and classic FM in the back ground. It set the scene for a wonderful relaxing week away from the hassle of everyday life.
The Dairy is a beautiful cottage, every need catered for. Linda was very welcoming and helpful in guiding us on things to do and places to visit.
The Dairy is beautifully located with the appearance of isolated countryside but within a mile walk of a lovely village with a welcoming pub. Ideal location for walking and cycling which we did even in November! You can get in the car and visits both coasts in an hour.
We will definitely be revisiting the Dairy.

Many thanks for leaving a review, Beth. As for your suggestion about the bath robes, they were there—in the ottoman at the end of the bed! We used to leave them in the bathroom but we found that some guests did not use them and they were cluttering up the space. We will think about slippers too!

The Best!

Linda and Paul are very friendly hosts and on arrival there is a supply of tea,coffee,bread,butter,jam and eggs.The location is very peaceful and central to Cornwall's attractions.The accomodation is excellent,with plenty of space and very well equipped to a high standard.We also like the fact that if you need extra logs, you help yourself at no additional cost. Will be back again.Highly recommended!

Lovely location and very well appointed rooms. Garden beautiful, pity about the weather so we could not enjoy it to the full.
Very well positioned for both north and south coasts.
We'll be back.

Lovely relaxing stay, and a walk in the beautiful
Garden topped it off, the long trip along the approach is a
Little hairy sort of beware of the natives! Otherwise an excellent stay.
