  • Great holiday home, lovingly fitted and furnished, boasting an array of original features
  • Ideally placed on the Devon/Cornwall border to explore both counties
  • Spend a day fishing carp at the lakes in a private 7-acre estate
Property code: OC-92552

This pretty barn conversion is perfect for a family and their two happy hounds and is finished with a combination of contemporary and original features. Spend afternoons carp fishing at the lakes, taking strolls with your gorgeous pooches around the private 7-acre estate, or exploring the routes and trails of Dartmoor National Park.

This country cottage sits on the fringe of the Devon/Cornwall border and is an excellent location for those looking to see snippets of both counties. Curl up with a book, relax and stream a film on the Smart TV in the cosy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Usher the pups through to the kitchen space and rustle up some titbits for them to nibble on while you provide a feast for your family. Gather around the table for a memorable meal or carry your plates to the enclosed terrace and enjoy the backdrop of rolling greenery as you dine alfresco. Feel free to run damp doggy towels through the tumble dryer in the shared utility/games room, which also has handy freezers, table football and a darts board. Say goodnight to your four-legged friends, and head upstairs to one of two beautiful bedrooms; one double with an en-suite and one spacious twin. Completing the home is a shower room with a shower and WC.

Begin your days with morning walkies around the seven acres of grounds, where you'll spot two stunning lakes stocked with carp and plenty of exciting sights and smells to sniff out. There's so much to do in the local area too. The market town of Launceston is a short 3-mile drive away and benefits from independent shops, cafes and a dog-friendly castle with breathtaking surroundings. Spend days meandering the Cornish coast at Summerleaze Beach, Sandymouth Bay and Widemouth Bay, all within 22 miles of the property.

Great location and ideal for a Christmas break. Can imagine the summer is even better! Owners were really accommodating and even placed a real Christmas tree inside the cottage for when we arrived. Had a special stay and made some great memories!

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

Spent a relaxing 2 weeks here, great facilities on site which were well used by us, and it's well located for all the main activities and attractions in the Devon/Cornwall border area. The barn is comfortable and very well equipped; a lovely welcome pack was waiting for us on arrival. Definitely recommended for an enjoyable holiday!

Was lovely holiday for my husbands 50th. 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. Our girls loved the games room and access to dvds which we enjoyed one evening as family. The grounds was amazing and location as so Read moremany things to do nearby.
