These beautifully converted stone barns, adjacent to the owners’ home, are set between the picturesque villages of Altarnun and Polyphant. Both properties combine mellow stone walls and old beams, have well-equipped kitchens and their own garden with furniture, patio and barbecue. The holiday cottages have an elevated position overlooking an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and provide an excellent centre for exploring the coastal paths and moors of both Devon and Cornwall. The Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and several magnificent National Trust houses and gardens are within easy reach, as well the fascinating seaside villages of Boscastle, Tintagel, Port Isaac and the food capital of Cornwall, Padstow. An Ordnance Survey walk passes right by the cottages and the area is a walkers’ paradise. The historic market town of Launceston, 5 miles, offers supermarkets, shops, a castle and sports facilities. Plymouth and its many attractions is 25 miles away. The area has a growing reputation for good pubs, restaurants, farm shops and locally produced food.

The Linhay is a converted barn, created about 20 years ago, with another similar one adjacent. The very friendly & helpful owners live next door, & nothing is any trouble for them. However, it is situated in a small hamlet about 3 miles from Launceston along narrow country lanes, which are not safe to walk or cycle along, especially for city dwellers. You MUST be prepared to drive to shops, restaurants & local facilities, the closest pub/restaurant is the excellent, fine dining, Rising Sun about 2-3 miles away. Having said this, there is plenty to see & do close by (4-8 miles), & fabulous countryside & coastline locations within easy reach. The Linhay comfortably sleeps 6, (but if a sofa bed was added in the lounge, 8 would be possible.
