The pretty semi-detached cottage of Journey’s End is just 2 and a half miles from the ancient town of Launceston. Sitting next to the owner’s stunning country house, this cottage and its idyllic setting create a lovely place for a holiday near to both the Devon town and coast. Whether you are relaxing with a drink in hand on the garden swing or preparing a picnic in the kitchen for a fun day at the beach, you’ll be sure to feel all your worries slowly melting away at Journey’s End.

Head inside and you’ll find a stylish and contemporary open-plan living space set across one level. Cool grey and blue tones run throughout the cottage giving it a feeling of light and space yet the touches of colour give it a warm and welcoming feel. An enclosed lawn and gravelled patio area at the front of the property is the perfect place to relax in the hot tub with a tasty BBQ although canines and children will especially love the shared dog-walking paddock and stream. Please bear in mind though that both must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

A conveniently short drive from the A30, you will have the perfect opportunity to discover both Cornwall and Devon. Walkers and cyclists can explore the Dartmoor National Park, 15 miles, and Bodmin Moor, 14 miles. The charming seaside harbour resorts of Looe and Polperro, under a 30-mile drive south, are a must-see with their colourful fishing boats and quaint shops, while beach lovers will adore Bude and its huge expanses of sand, slightly nearer at 20 miles north of the property.

Louise and Greg were fantastic. They run a tight ship and everything is clean and in the correct place. It was my Son's birthday in a few days and they both went out of their way to get him a card. Never had that with any other owners. Thank you both. I highly recommend them.

Being British, I really tried to find something to moan about....No couldn't find a thing. From opening the front door at the beginning of the week to closing it at the end of the week. The only word I can use is EXCELLENCE. From the complentary cake,bottle of wine and even something special for our dog. The cottage is wonderful homely,spotless Read moreand has everything you could need and more. The garden is secure and big enough to exercise the dog. The hot tub was just what we needed after a long days walking. The nearest shops are ten minutes away,and all places of interest are about 30 minutes away. SUPERB property, the whole site is clean,tidy and well maintained,the hut has everything for sale that you could need,I can highly recommend the homemade jams. One word summary.SUPERB. !!! Hide
