Lower Barns is an award winning boutique guest house and elopement wedding venue in the heart of the Cornish countryside, close to the sea, where you will enjoy being thoroughly spoilt. We offer relaxing breaks with sumptuous rooms, great food and holistic therapies which rival many more famous establishments, due to our personal touch! We have won many awards over the years, mainly due to our personality and style, which projects throughout the house and gardens, which is also our home. We have had rave reviews from our customers, many of whom return time after time to soak up the special atmosphere and sense of calm. BBC Olive magazine wrote... "Cornwall isn't just about Padstow. For the fresh approach, head south to Lower Barns (near St,Austell), a hidden gem of a B&B perfectly located for exploring the Roseland Peninsula, fishing villages of Mevagissey and Charlestown and the Eden Project. Rooms are as stylish as you'd find in a city boutique." If you are thinking to get married, we are about 'just the two' having a small intimate wedding ceremony at a luxury, exclusive, small boutique B&B venue in Cornwall, UK. If you are looking for a runaway wedding in Cornw...
Review from May 22, 2023 Wow! This place is what you get when you take two wonderful, well travelled people full of positive spirit and kind intent, blend the colours sounds, sights, scents and sensations of great intentions and marry them with the sumptuous vision and authenticity of the most genuine human beings you'll have the honour to meet. Lower Barns is an oasis set away from life's complex and feckless nonsense; a Cornish cornucopia bursting with character and a luxurious island of tranquility. Just read the reviews. Then realise that they still don't do justice to to this place. The do yourself a favour and book for as long as you can. Yes, it's that highly recommended and we've been to some amazing places, the world round. We recently had our elopement wedding at Lower Barns and what a fantastic time we had. The whole process from initial contact to the actual wedding day itself was stress free and easy
Nestled in a hidden corner of South Cornwall, close to the sea and in walking distance of the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the SW coast path, you will find Lower Barns. It is a luxury boutique retreat, a B&B with highly unique style and all about romance. Perfectly located to explore the Roseland Peninsula, fishing villages of Mevagissey and Charlestown and the Eden Project.
