Set within a beautiful 7-acre estate, this characterful cottage bursting with charm and cosiness provides couples with a romantic base from which to explore the breathtaking landscapes of the Devon and Cornwall border.

Seamlessly combining rustic features with contemporary charm, the studio-style open-plan living/kitchen/dining/sleeping layout of this hideaway perfectly embraces the beauty of your surrounding scenery. The wonderfully high, vaulted ceiling creates a welcome sense of space, whilst the gorgeous, exposed brickwork not only echoes this cottage's rich history, but also creates a beautifully quirky ambience. The contemporary country cottage style kitchen is equipped with everything you need to get creative with your local produce, whilst the plush sofa and sumptuous, king-size bed beckon tired travellers to unwind. The stylish shower room offers all you need to feel refreshed from sunrise to sunset. Outside, the enclosed terrace with a BBQ is the perfect place to enjoy a spot of al fresco dining with your morning coffee or a sundowner. There's also a shared games room to enjoy, and two on-site fishing lakes. There is private parking for two cars.

The surrounding 7-acre estate is a haven for keen outdoor explorers, home to plenty of scenic trails to enjoy, and two fishing lakes that are stocked with carp. Those who love nothing better than a good hike can uncover the rugged beauty of Dartmoor National Park, 13 miles away; the Little Mis Tor or Sittaford Tor hiking sites provide some wonderfully scenic walks. The nearby market town of Launceston, 3 miles away, is renowned for its fantastic independent shops, pubs and cafes. From countryside to coast, for a traditional bucket and spade day at the beach, the golden sands of Bude's Summerleaze Beach can be reached within 20 miles.

We stayed in Duck Barn for 5 nights and had a great time. The barn has been beautifully converted and has retained many of the original features. It is very comfortable and cosy and all on one level. The owners were very friendly and pleasant and had left some local biscuits and fudge as a welcome present. The location was perfect for days out in DRead moreevon and Cornwall and we couldn't fault it . Hide
