Surrounded by countryside and with views across to Dartmoor, this open-plan barn offers free fishing on site as well as a games room and open-air table tennis. Set on the Devon/Cornwall border close to beaches and charming towns, it’s a stylish, year-round escape ideal for couples and families.

This charming holiday cottage has been beautifully converted to retain characterful features such as old beams and exposed stone while allowing in plenty of light. The ground floor is composed of an open-plan living space, with a comfortable lounge (with Smart TV) flowing through to a kitchen/diner. Here, there’s all the equipment you’ll need to create delicious dinners, and after eating you can linger at the wooden table to play games or discuss your adventures. On the first floor you’ll find a gorgeous double bedroom with a double-height window and an en-suite shower room, plus a lovely twin room with a vaulted ceiling and ample storage. A family bathroom completes the interior. From the lounge, patio doors lead out to the enclosed patio, furnished for relaxing and socialising on a sunny day. On site there’s also an outdoor table tennis table, picnic areas, carp fishing, a paddock for dogs and children to play and seven acres of land to explore. In addition, you’re welcome to use the shared utility/games room, which has darts, table football and air hockey.

Located among a complex of properties, the barn is just 3 miles from Launceston, once the ancient capital of Cornwall, where you’ll find shops, places to eat, an imposing castle and a steam railway. At Roadford Lake, 6.5 miles, there are scenic walks, water sports, archery, climbing, fishing and a popular cafe where you can refuel, while the fabulous coastal town of Bude, with its excellent beach and popular sea pool, is 19 miles.

My friend and I went from the Midlands down to Cornwall to watch the Eclipse and Perseid meteor showers in an area where there were less light pollution. We could not have chosen a better place. We truly enjoyed our time there and it is a great location to explore Cornwall from. The barn itself offered great accommodation, was clean and well equippRead moreed. Overall I can recommend Netherbridge Lake Barns as a quiet retreat and base for visiting Cornwall and Devon. Hide

A very welcoming, cottage. As soon as we walked through the door of owl cottage we felt the weight lift and immediately started to relax. A great base for families visiting, with a games room. We brought our dog, we were touched by the bed waiting for the dog and the welcome gifts for all. There isn't anything you will want additionally. If you aRead morere looking for a cottage that feels comfortable and welcoming, has amazing views and a great location. Then this is the perfect place for you.

Lovely property, a barn conversion on a farm. Clean, well-equipped, well-presented. Helpful, but not intrusive, proprietors close by. Multiple barn conversions so tranquility is dependent to some extent on other visitors and their dogs. The property has the great advantage of being next to a reasonably large road, not half way down a single track rRead moreoad with passing places. Hide

We loved the location, the cottage and especially the little touches that it had - snacks, milk, dishwasher tablets little things that other places we have stayed didn't have.
