“Tinner’s Barn had everything we needed to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Communication was great and Seb was very considerate about us having a baby with us in regards to instructions etc”

Lisa – August 2024

“I loved staying at Tinner's Barn, I travelled from the Midlands on my own, with the hope of finding a little sanctuary by the sea and indeed that is exactly what I found. Thank you.”

Melanie – July 2024 

“We came from South Wales for a little getaway with our beloved 11-year-old Spaniel and had the most lovely stay at The Barn. A hairdryer, an iron, a toasty wood burner, a TV with freeview - even tea, milk and biscuits - just absolutely everything you could ever need was provided, and the welcome book gave some great tips and recommendations too. The barn was also clean, with a comfortable bed for a good night’s sleep. Saint Just is a sweet little town within walking distance of Cape Cornwall and just a short drive away from places like Land’s End, Penzance or Saint Ives. Overall, Tinner’s Barn is great value for money. We will definitely be recommending it to friends.”
