Skiber Spar is a perfect place to stay and the whole family loved it.  Jean and Dave have thought of everything to make the stay as comfortable as possible.  Plenty to do - horse riding on Bodmin Moor, Eden Project, Tintagel Castle and the Witchcraft Museum in beautiful Boscastle.

The converted barn - Skiber Spar - was a genuinely lovely place to stay. Lots of space, lots of amenities (tumble dryer, washing machine, dishwasher) and well furnished but also located in a beautiful rural spot with several acres for the kids to play in. We enjoyed having lots of wildlife - including rabbits, sheep, cows and ferrets - on our doorstep too. I could bore for England about just how good my family's week in Cornwall was but instead I shall just say that I'd happily recommend this accommodation to anyone.

Skiber Spar, or Quartz Barn if you translate the name from the Cornish, is an ideal home from home. From the outside it displays its coat of stone and quartz you expect from a barn, but when you enter you find a really open, spacious and modern place to stay. It's really well equipped with everything you need - and all kitchen utensils are new and shiny. A large open plan living area is on the top floor and roomy enough for two couples or a family of four. The owners are lovely and if you arrive at the right time of the year, you may be offered homemade jam, or veg from their small holding. If you like fresh eggs, the house along the lane has fresh duck and chicken eggs each morning, just open up the box you'll see from the road and deposit the asking price in a little can.  From here you can plan any number of trips. It's only an hours drive to Eden and gardens of Heligan and the coast is just 20 minutes away. It's simply lovely and I can't wait to come back.

Have come to Cornwall as usual at this time of year to visit my sister and her family.  First time at Skiber Spar - won't be the last.  Had a lovely relaxing break.  Jean and Dave are lovely and have created a beautiful place to stay, everything you could want.  Many thanks we'll definitely be back! x

My husband and I first stayed at Skiber Spar for a week in Easter 2011 and have been back since then for a few long weekends off season in the winter. Jean and David are excellent hosts and the welcome pack is definitely very welcome after a long drive across country!

The location is very convenient for Camelford, Wadebridge, Port Isaac, Padstow, Bude and Tintagel and it is a pleasure coming back at the end of the day to Skiber Spar to the peace and quiet.

The facilities are top notch and a real home from home. We made full use of the self-catering facilities and even hosted a casual dinner party for four of our relatives who live nearby.

If you are thinking of an off season weekend break then Skiber Spar actually works out better value for money than staying at a local B&B or hotel like the Travelodge in Wadebridge or the Premier Inn in Bodmin. The weekly rates are good value for money too.

We will be back to stay again in the not too distant future.

So impressed with Skiber Spar we'd like to move in.  Thank you, its been a perfect holiday and we have all loved the barn.  We are very sorry to be leaving!

Was a perfect place to stay, thank you.

For me, one of the best holidays I've had for some years, helped by a glorious 2 weeks of sunshine and lovely hosts plus first class accommodation.

A lovely week which went by all too quickly.  Managed to avoid the rain as we went to the cinema in Truro but apart from that, lovely warm days!  It felt good to be back
