Sparrow Barn

This pretty property nestles in a secluded setting in the grounds of the owners' 5.5 acre smallholding, boasts countryside views, and has been lovingly furnished to provide a relaxed couples retreat.

Hidden in a quiet rural location just 6 miles from Launceston, this charming property is the perfect escape for two. Cosy and comfortable, this rustic barn conversion is an opportunity for a romantic holiday exploring the beautiful Cornish coast and countryside. Wake up surrounded by sumptuous bedroom furnishings, head down to the kitchen to whip up a quick breakfast and enjoy it on the decking, looking out at wonderful hills and fields.

 

Whether you’re snuggled up on the sofa in front of the wood burner in the lounge/bedroom area or you’re off wandering around Bradridge Wood (2 miles), you’ll find your own way to embrace the slower pace of life here. The interiors are stylish and trendy, making use of soft grey and pink tones to create a peaceful ambience. The handcrafted dining table in the kitchen/diner is a pleasure to eat meals at, but you could sizzle up a BBQ in the garden in the summer months. Slip between the sheets in the stunning lounge/bedroom among vaulted ceilings and exposed beams for a perfect night’s sleep.

 

Take a picnic and spend the day at Widemouth Bay (12 miles), where golden sands are perfect for sunbathing but the sea is also perfect for surfing. Fans of Daphne du Maurier will enjoy the smuggler’s museum and restaurant at Jamaica Inn (17.5 miles), while ITV’s Doc Martin viewers must visit Port Isaac (26 miles) to spot all the locations seen on TV. Take gentle walks around Lydford Gorge (19 miles) or try the more challenging 2-hour epic Gorge Walk for spectacular scenery.
