Property code: OC-92552

Ideally located on the Cornwall and Devon border, this beautiful barn conversion sits amid idyllic, rural countryside, just over 2.5 miles north of Launceston. Part of a small complex of holiday homes on the owner’s farm, this delightful property welcomes up to four guests and two dogs. With an array of activities on the farm, and in a great location between Dartmoor National Park, Bodmin Moor and Cornwall’s Atlantic coastline, it offers a world of options for families and friends.

Thoughtfully converted and tastefully renovated, this two-storey barn conversion blends original features with contemporary design. Exposed stone walls and wooden beams add character, while the property is furnished with a relaxed, rural elegance, making it feel homely and welcoming. Relax post-adventures in the inviting lounge revisiting your pictures of the day, or curl up with a good book on the outdoor seating, gazing over the open countryside. You have everything you need to cook up a storm in the country-style kitchen, before gathering around the farmhouse table to share good food and conversation. After a good night’s sleep in the two restful bedrooms, wake up to birdsong and rolling countryside, before a refreshing shower leaves you ready for new adventures.

There’s plenty to do without leaving the farm, including table tennis, a games room, lake and river fishing, and a practice golf area. For a complimentary game of golf, Trethorne Golf Course invites every guest to play on their 18-hole golf course. Get active at nearby Roadford Lake (6.5 miles), which offers a range of outdoor pursuits, including paddleboarding, canoeing, sailing, fishing, walking and cycling. Alternatively, get salty and sandy on Bude’s beaches (19 miles) or walk in the footsteps of legendary King Arthur at Tintagel (20.5 miles).

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.
