Finished to an immaculate standard with modern minimalist decor, this barn conversion cottage near Launceston (1.5 miles) invites guests to experience true serenity amongst West Country scenery. The property is exceptionally well-positioned for getting to know both Cornwall and Devon, offering easy access to Bodmin Moor (10.5 miles), Dartmoor National Park (12 miles) and the incredible coastal destination of the Hartland Heritage Coast which spans across both counties. Accommodating six guests, the holiday home is made for families or friends and has been decked out with superb finishing touches including underfloor heating.

High vaulted ceilings and impressive beams elevate this three-bedroom country retreat, a place with endless countryside views to be enjoyed from windows all around the property. At its heart, a lounge/kitchen/diner presents an open-plan space for sociable evenings with your loved ones. With a budding chef rustling something up in the corner kitchen, someone settling the spacious dining table and others watching the Smart TV in the lounge, you can all laugh and chat together right here. Naturally, when the sun shines, you can step onto the private patio space and take the party outdoors, sitting together at the outdoor table. To complete the property’s offering, find three en-suite bathrooms attached to each spacious bedroom offering a little bit of extra privacy.

Always linked by the South West Coast Path (18 miles), the fantastic beaches dotted along the Cornwall and Devon coasts put this area on the map. Head to Bude (18 miles), a lively seaside town with a freshwater Sea Pool for safe swimming and the appealing Summerleaze Beach to frequent in the summer. For excursions inland, jump in the car and visit the towns of Okehampton (17.5 miles) and Tavistock (13 miles) on the edge of Dartmoor, each a fantastic destination to park up the car, set off walking and circle back to for a delicious dose of Devonshire cream tea.

The Barn was very good, very well equipped and had everything we needed. We loved having the addition of a cow and calf right next to the barn and even though our dog wasn't sure at first by the end of the week he would sit and watch them.

Returned to this property after a 6 year gap and just as good as before. Lovely to be on a working farm watching the animals in the field (no smells). Remote enough to only hear birds and sheep but only 5 mins from the A30 (which you can't see or hear). High spec accommodation with everything you need and 3 separate bathrooms a bonus. A great base Read moreto explore the North coast within 45 min drive, and same down to St Austell in South. Launceston is worth a day of mooching about with lovely cafes. Hide
