About us
Where We Started
In 2006, Guy and Sarah purchased the barns as derelict agricultural buildings, beginning a journey of restoration that would preserve their unique charm. Guy carefully and thoughtfully restored the barns, maintaining the original character and quirks. These historic features are especially evident in Hideaway Barn, where details like the small 'nooks' once used to hold a farmer’s candles while tending to cattle have been preserved—though now, they are lit by electricity!
Sampson Barn entered the holiday rental market in 2015, and since then, we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming guests back for their second, third, and even fourth stays.
Hideaway Barn was updated in 2018 and opened for holiday rentals in the summer of 2019. It’s already enjoyed a number of repeat bookings, and we’re thrilled to continue sharing its charm with guests old and new.
Why Choose Us?
Multiple- Dog Friendly
Multiple- Dog Friendly
Multiple- Dog Friendly
We pride ourselves on being completely dog-friendly—not just dog-tolerant! As dog owners ourselves, we know how important it is for your furry family members to feel just as welcome and comfortable as you do. All we ask is that if your dogs are used to lounging on the sofa or sleeping on the bed, you bring your own throws or bedding for them.
Excellent Location

Nestled in a peaceful hamlet, the barns offer easy access to the vibrant towns of Penzance, Helston, St Ives, and Hayle. With the beach just a 5-minute drive away, you can enjoy the best of both worlds—relax by the coast and retreat to your own private space, even during the busier months.
