Groups Will Love...

The original stone walls define this Cornish barn conversion. Thick blocks of local stone form the structure with authentic agricultural character visible throughout. These walls served working farmers for generations before conversion into holiday accommodation. The stone provides natural temperature regulation and creates genuine barn atmosphere. Combined with exposed timber beams overhead, the stonework reminds you this building has proper farming heritage rather than being purpose-built modern construction.

Pet Friendly

Check the specific pet policy for The Hideaway before booking with dogs. The rural Pengelly location and surrounding Cornish countryside would suit canine guests well. Fields and footpaths from the barn door offer walking routes straight from the property. The stone barn construction and rural setting typically work better for pets than urban properties. Contact the owners to confirm current arrangements for four-legged family members.
