Swim, play games and sit around the fire pit under the stars when you stay at this charming cottage at Hellescott, near North Petherwin. Sleeping five guests, the two-bedroom getaway sits on a farm, 5 miles from Launceston, where it shares a selection of facilities with other holiday retreats.
Step inside the inviting cottage to discover barn-style accommodation with beautiful beams and stonework. Relax in the welcoming, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can light the wood burner in the chillier months to bring a cosy glow to the generous room, which has a vaulted ceiling and flagstone and wooden floors. Find a film on the Smart TV, then wander over to the rustic kitchen, which has a gas range cooker, to make a cup of tea to enjoy with a freshly baked scone and cream. Prepare tasty Cornish pasties with locally grown vegetables for lunch or dinner here too, then dine together at the wooden table. A king-size bedroom, with a four-poster bed, is also downstairs at the cottage. A triple bedroom, with two singles at ground-floor level and another single bed up on a mezzanine, is also within the cottage. There is a family bathroom too. Enjoy the fresh air from your private, decked balcony or make the most of the shared spaces, where there are picnic tables, a fire pit and a play area. Challenge each other to table tennis in the games room and dip in the outdoor heated swimming pool in the warmer season.
Nestled in scenic surroundings, 8 miles from Bodmin Moor and 18 miles from Dartmoor, there are some lovely walks from the doorstep and further afield. Visit Tintagel, 16.5 miles away on the coast, to explore the castle from the legends of King Arthur. Spend time on the beach at Crackington Haven, 11.5 miles away.
