The ancient market town of Marazion with St Michael’s Mount is under 4 miles away. Boasting a long sandy beach and breathtaking views, it’s a must visit during your stay.
St Ives is easily accessible and definitely worth taking the short train journey via the branch line from St Erth Station (a 5 minute drive away), taking in the fantastic views across Hayle’s 3 miles of golden sands along the way.

The space
The Bank Barn is a spacious, modern, detached converted barn located in the beautiful countryside near St Erth. Tucked away down a lane, the self catering cottage is one of 4 available at Frythens Cottages. Located just a 5 minute drive from the A30, all the local beaches and attractions are within easy reach of the property, making it the perfect base for exploring Cornwall.
Ideal for couples, families or friends, the barn is versatile with a double bedroom, twin bedroom and single bedroom downstairs and kitchen/dining room and comfy living room with wood burner upstairs. With far reaching country views, why not enjoy alfresco dining or play some games, watching the sunset in your own private garden.
The barn offers modern living with a fully fitted kitchen and dining area, including electric cooker with gas hob, fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and all the essential pots, pans and equipment.
Snuggle up on the comfy corner sofa and watch TV in front of the fire (complementary first basket of logs during winter months) in the living room or just sit back and admire the view from the large upstairs window.

Lovely accommodation in quiet and relaxing surroundings
By Ray on 25-May-2024Lovely accommodation in quiet and relaxing surroundings. Pleasant host in Melanie who responds quickly to queries. Great to be able to interact with the inquisitive cows in the field adjacent to the property and the cats are friendly too. A fantastic base from which to explore west Cornwall, with St. Ives, Land's End and Penzance all within easy reach by car. This was our second visit to the Bank Barn and it still has the wow factor with the only minor niggle being the toilet seats, which were a bit wobbly and could maybe do with adjusting or replacing. We would definitely recommend the Barn Barn as a great place to stay.
