  • Delightful, upper floor outbuilding conversion situated just off a working farm
  • Nestled in stunning, tranquil countryside with fishing on site
  • Light and modern open plan interior with an emphasis on quality
Property code: 86674

A lovingly converted first floor studio style outbuilding which provides the perfect romantic bolthole. Set just outside the vibrant market town of Launceston, it is an ideal spot to explore the best of North Cornwall and beyond.

Lose yourselves in the magnificent beauty of Cornwall when you escape to this dog-friendly retreat near Polyphant, 5 miles from Launceston. Sleeping one couple, plus a pair of pups, the one-bedroom, studio-style abode is ideally located for walks from the doorstep, including down to the River Inny, as well as trips to Dartmoor, 20 miles away, and the coast, 13.5 miles away. Also visit Bodmin Moor, just 3 miles from this first-floor apartment. Return to relax out on the shared terrace with your happy hounds at your feet.

Climb the exterior, spiral staircase and wander into your light, open-plan living space, with its fresh interior. Replenish water bowls and unpack provisions in the kitchen area then set about feeding both humans and hounds. Have a glass of wine at the breakfast bar then lay the table for a romantic night in together. Find a good film to watch on the Smart TV while your contented canines stretch out nearby, then head off for a hot shower before bidding them goodnight. You have an inviting king-size bed in which to lay your head for the night. Take your pals out to stretch their furry legs in the morning, then return home for breakfast. On fine evenings, enjoy a cold beer or chilled wine as you take in the valley vistas from the shared terrace. You also have parking for two cars.

Take the pups out on a 5-mile, circular walk from your base, following footpaths through medieval farmsteads and joining the Inny Valleys circular route. Drive 15 miles to Tintagel to see the castle and Merlin’s Cave, and to enjoy the island garden and beach, with your furry friends by your side. Just keep an eye on them by the cliffs and when scrambling up and down.

We stayed at the Riverside Hideaway as a mini honeymoon destination. The location is lovely, the apartment warm and cosy and we found plenty to do in and around the local areas. Thanks to our great host Jenny and your very kind gift of a bottle of bubbly to help celebrate our marriage. Highly recommended. Will hope to revisit.

This is a spacious, peaceful, very comfortable place to stay, and Jenny could not have been more helpful. Despite being in such peaceful surroundings, the A30 is just a couple of minutes away. Despite being by a working farm there was no noise, and was very dog friendly, We heartily recommend staying here. Vicky and Ian
