Get away from it all on a relaxing break in this charming cottage on the edge of Bodmin Moor. The property, which welcomes four guests, enjoys a peaceful setting just 7 miles from the market town of Launceston, and is a great base for families and friends who love outdoor adventure. You’ll find numerous walking trails to explore through the wild and remote landscape of Bodmin Moor, or head towards the sea to join the South West Coast Path. The property is approximately 20 miles from both the north and south coast, meaning you can spend the day at iconic seaside resorts such as Looe, Fowey, or Bude. You’ll also be within easy reach of picture-postcard fishing villages, including Polperro (24 miles) and Port Isaac (21 miles). Closer to home, head into Launceston to potter around the town’s independent shops, explore the Norman castle, or dine in one of the friendly cafes or pubs.
The stone barn conversion sits alongside four similar holiday homes within the grounds of a country manor house. Inside, the property beautifully combines original features, such as exposed trusses and whitewashed walls, with stylish decor and an array of homely touches. On the ground floor, you’ll find two country-cottage-style bedrooms – a double and a twin – along with a sleek family bathroom. Upstairs, discover a bright, open-plan living area with a vaulted ceiling and French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony. Spend time here, preparing delicious feasts in the contemporary kitchen area and sharing family mealtimes at the wooden dining table. In the evenings, light the wood burner and get cosy in the comfortable lounge area with your favourite film on the Smart TV.
Outside, a path from the front door leads to a charming outdoor dining area with furniture and a BBQ. Guests also have access to a shared games room, a children’s play area, and a fenced orchard for dog walking. Through the gate in the orchard you will have the freedom to explore the additional 20 acres leading down to the river Lynher. The cottage has ample private parking.
