Unwind with your loved ones at this charming reverse-level property sitting on a picturesque complex of properties on the edge of Bodmin Moor. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, it’s the perfect accommodation choice for small families or groups of friends in search of a stylish barn conversion to call home while they discover the delights of the Cornwall coast together. Spend your days exploring local gems like Launceston Castle – a majestic 13th-century Norman fortress – and in the evening come home to enjoy an al fresco dinner on the cottage’s lovely patio.
Park in the generous private parking area and step inside this charming barn conversion. Make your way to the first floor and you’ll find an open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area – a beautiful space with bright whitewashed stone walls, vaulted ceilings and original exposed trusses. Slip onto the sofa and take a moment to appreciate the elegant country-style decor before you make your way to the sleek kitchen area to whip up some dinner to share with your loved ones at the beautiful wooden dining table. Alternatively, head outside to enjoy a laid-back BBQ dinner at the seating area across the small lawn. After dinner, treat yourself to a glass of wine on the Juliet balcony, enjoy a little friendly competition in the shared games room, or cosy up beside the wood burner in the lounge area. At the end of the day, there are two tranquil bedrooms downstairs to choose from – one beautifully-styled king-size with an en-suite, and a cheerful twin that’s great if you have the kids with you. A chic family bathroom completes the layout. In the morning, take a gentle stroll through the gate in the property’s orchard and you’ll discover 20 acres of beautiful grounds leading down to the River Lynher.
Spend a blissful day exploring St Neot Village (13 miles), where you can see the fine examples of medieval stained glass windows at the Church of St Neot. Alternatively, head to Carnglaze Caverns (14.5 miles) – a former 18th to 20th-century slate mine that’s home to underground lakes and light-filled caverns. Check out the ‘Rum Store’, which was used by the Royal Navy as a storage facility during WWII.
