Fishing, golf, beach trips, countryside hikes and long-distance bike rides are all on offer from this splendid property on the border of Cornwall and Devon. Perfectly appointed for an action-packed break, you’ll never fall short of things to do when staying here as a group of four. It’s also dog-friendly, inviting you to get stuck into the surrounding area on a never-ending selection of dog-walking routes. If you prefer to keep your plans chill or want to rest those aching, post-exercise muscles after a busy day, this country cottage comes equipped with its very own hot tub in a private, enclosed terrace garden.

Set on a complex of properties, this country cottage is attractive both inside and out with exposed stone walls and original wooden features. It’s set out in a split-level layout, with two bedrooms greeting you on arrival and steps down to the main living space. Each bedroom boasts an en-suite for guests’ added convenience. Downstairs, the living area is cosy and welcoming, with some traditional cream tea awaiting you in the thoroughly equipped kitchen. Spend time curled up in front of the Smart TV down here or step out into the enclosed garden space to make the most of the hot tub and dine outdoors.

Staying on-site, discover 7 acres of private land with two well-stocked fishing lakes that you’re welcome to make use of. Staying here also permits you a free round of golf at the nearby Trethorne Golf Club (6 miles) and discounted entry to the Trethorne Leisure Park (5.5 miles). Nearby, the Cornish town of Launceston (2.5 miles) offers plenty to be explored, with ancient medieval streets and plenty of appealing independent shops.

Everything in the cottage was first class and it was fully equipped for whatever you needed. Darren was extremely helpful whenever we had any questions. Lovely welcome food package. Nicer cushions on the sofas would lift the lounge I think but other than that very happy with everything. Will book again

We felt very cosy and warmly at this cottage. We got everything we need . We were welcomed with tea, coffee and cookies and flapjacks. The hot tub worked perfectly- not too hot not too cold. We enjoyed our stay.

The cottage was lovely and great that both rooms have ensuite bathrooms. It was a bit daunting when faced with an aga but full instructions provided along with an electric hob, so all good. A hot tub is always good to have on holiday, which we enjoyed. The outdoor table tennis table was a big hit.

We enjoyed our stay at Swallows the owners were very helpful on-site and were quick to respond when we needed something. The dog loved her provided barrel bed. There are shops and petrol stations near by. The hot tub, playing golf and table tennis were the kids highlights. We would recommend for a day out going to Hidden Valley which is only a 15 mRead moreinute journey from the property. Hide
