Something for all the family awaits you here at St Leonards. Choose one of the four lovely barn conversions for your family holiday and learn something new during your stay here. The barns are located on a horse riding school, where all the family are encouraged to give horse riding a try. Once in the saddle you will want to take it up when you get back home. The lovely heated outdoor swimming pool is a great hit with families with children, and the Jacuzzi and sauna are favourites with adults. St Leonards certainly is a holiday base with a difference, situated in a wooded valley, it provides a comfortable and relaxing holiday for people of all ages though out the entire year. All the cottages are set on the edge of a courtyard over looking the stables and surrounded by 23 acres of private grounds which is also home to a ½-acre coarse fishing lake, or for something more energetic why not take part in a game of paintball available on site. There is plenty of birdlife here including kingfishers, so you often awaken to the sound of the dawn chorus!
It is an ideal location for touring the both north and south Cornish coasts and close to the Devon/Cornwall border so you can explore both counties from one base. Whether you wish to take it easy in our pool and bbq area, have a swim, ride a horse, try paintball or even go fishing on the River Kensey close by, there is plenty to keep you entertained and make you want to get out and about and feel invigorated by the fresh Cornish air. Perfect for summer, spring, autumn or even winter holidays, all the cottages have been very comfortably furnished and equipped, featuring pine furniture, comfortable beds and woodburners, making them a cosy and welcome home to come back to.
Out and about in the region you can head west by car to the Widemouth Heritage Coast and visit mystical Tintagel and Port Isaac Bay, or head east towards Dartmoor’s wilderness; whichever direction you travel in there is sure to be something new to see. Launceston, 2 miles, once the ancient capital of Cornwall, has shops, a steam railway, castle, golf and an indoor leisure centre. A variety of golf courses locally. A splendid family location with something for everyone, all guests will be well placed for touring both Devon and Cornwall. Launceston, for all amenities, 2 miles. Playstation 3 is available to hire from the owner. Shop 1½ miles.
Arrived at cottage to a lovely smiling host, chocolates, tea and coffee and milk. The cottage was warm and clean and had everything that was claimed on site. The dog walking area is all of the owners fields which the mutt needed after a long drive. All week was torrential winds and rain so not much horseriding was done but this is the gods of thunder, not the owners fault, Anne always let us know first thing how the day was panning out so we could make alternative plans. The hot tub and spa heat room thing is great, (especially in rain and WINDS) ! The only dossapointment is the fishing lake, its an overgrown pond but plenty of fishing sites within ten miles, (can recommend a great one, mill field pool only a short drive away) . Overall great place to stay, loads of activities and tourist stuff to do within 30 minutes drive, great relaxing holiday, book and enjoy.
