Enjoying far-reaching countryside views from its peaceful location close to Launceston, Short Horn Barn is a welcoming retreat, perfectly placed for exploring the whole of Cornwall and Devon. Set on a complex of five holiday properties, its spacious, open-plan layout arranged over a single level make it well-suited to spending time with friends and family.

Original beams and high vaulted ceilings lend character to this impeccably converted barn. Its calming, natural colour scheme set the scene for relaxed mornings enjoying breakfast while taking in the view, and cosy evenings snuggled around the lounge area after days out walking in the moors or discovering the coast.

The north and south coasts of Cornwall and Devon and the romantic moors of Dartmoor and Bodmin are yours to explore. 22 miles away is the picture-postcard village of Boscastle, with its scenic natural harbour and quaint stone cottages.

Closer to home, save some time in your itinerary for Tamar Otter Park only 7 miles away, and Launceston Steam Railway, 3 miles away. The Eden Project is 35 miles away, where you can explore the wonders of their indoor rainforest.

The Barn was very good, very well equipped and had everything we needed. We loved having the addition of a cow and calf right next to the barn and even though our dog wasn't sure at first by the end of the week he would sit and watch them.

Returned to this property after a 6 year gap and just as good as before. Lovely to be on a working farm watching the animals in the field (no smells). Remote enough to only hear birds and sheep but only 5 mins from the A30 (which you can't see or hear). High spec accommodation with everything you need and 3 separate bathrooms a bonus. A great base Read moreto explore the North coast within 45 min drive, and same down to St Austell in South. Launceston is worth a day of mooching about with lovely cafes. Hide
